Default RE: Ok 3d guys, need some advice.

The Funtana is a great model in my opinion. I have a lowly os 46FX on mine and it isn't enough. A few people have pur Saito 100's on the front and this apparently gives good performance and someare reporting good results with a 72 so I would imagine that your 91 would be spot on.

I'm no flying ace myself, but our local hot shot put it through it's paces and it's pretty impresive.

On a slighly diferent tack, if you want a model that will do anything I can recomend the Weston UK Cougar 2000. It can be bought complete with their own tuned engine and thottle pipe, and is relitively cheap. It takes all standard radio gear. It dos mostmoves well. The only thing it isn't too good at is knife edge stuff. If you want something to learn ohoverand prop hang then his is a classic, well at least here in the UK where the options are a little more limited. The only reason I divered from the oiginal is that I haveound this model to be really enjoyable as a do anything hack, and to me planes like the Funtana look so nice I tend not to take so many risks.

Lie AeroDave says it all dpends on what charicteristics you want, do you care what it looks like, what size it is (by the way the 36 on the front of he cougar seems to be balemic as after 15 minutes of flight there is always loads of juice left in the small(10oz is) tank) what mov you wan to learn.

Good luck which ever way you go.
