I still don't understand the concept of putting a huge engine on the front of a small plane, ie; Saito 100 in the Funtana 40, ...

My Saito 100 powered Funtana .40 weighs about 3 oz more than the rest and flies/lands/harriers/balances extremely well. That's about 5% more weight for about 40% or more extra power. Good tradeoff if you ask me, especially on 714 square inces of wing area.
