Default RE: Funtana 90!

I did not see the video but I did talk to Mike and he said he flew the protptype with a 100 and it did everything he asked of it. The plane is very lightly built. I have a friend who had the Funtana 40 with the recommended 72 in it and it was amazing to watch, granted he is a very skilled 3D pilot. He has a 90 ordered and he plans on installing a Saito 100 or a YS 110. His opinion, which I highly respect, is you should not use anything larger that a 120 on this plane. I have the GSP 65" Extra with a Saito 100 in it and this plane goes vertical till its a speck in seconds. It weights about 9lbs. I read the manual for the Funtana and it clearly states to not fly the plane fast, a 16/4W prop is recommended.
