Funtana would make a pretty good sport plane maybe? You'd need to learn to manage your speed with it though. Use a 6'' pitch prop, no more. When you start getting into planes like these, they have some really big control surfaces that like to blow off pretty easily. They need to be built carefully and use of HD pushrods/hardware mandatory!
It's not the best flying plane, but it's light and has a lot of wing area - 2 big steps in the right direction?
That might be a better option for me, what plane you thinking of Hanger 9?
Thanks,
Bill
