If you want it to fly like you bigger planes, go with a Funtana. Power with a 72 four
stroke or a 50 two stroke. The Funtana, I find flys like the 35-40%. However the
Funtana will roll faster than any of the big ones. I did not care for the way the Funtana
flew and retired it. I prefere the true 3D planes.

If you want a true 3D plane there are a few good choices. Not much in the scale look,
however excellent 3D machines.

The UCD series by great planes. Very stable in a hover, almost to easy to hover. You
can get that plane in 2 sizes. The big and little one. Do the bigger of the two. Power
it with a 100 stroker or a 90 two stroke.

I have started flying a Hype 3D and highly impressed with the plane. Good overall
flying, similar to a pattern plane and will do all the 3D stuff. The plane is made for
the West 50 motor and it is a great combo. Hovers well and has all the power to pull
out. This is a 60 inch plane and mine came in at 5lbs 4ozs.

The Espirt models are OK. I have a Diablo 2000 they import. I am dissippointed with
the construction of the plane and I have been told by others that is typical of their
planes. Very light, I will give it that, however I find it hard to buy another one of their
planes.

With any of these bird, it would be advisable to use good equipment, set it up with the
same type gear you would use in your big ones.

Here is a pic of the 2nd flight of the Hype. If the guy would have snapped a pic about
5 seconds later the tail would have been inchs off the ground. [:'(]
