Default RE: CA Model Eclipse building tips

Amir,

The Eclipse and Fantasy share the same fuse. The Fantasy has counterbalance elevators, wider wings and larger ailerons. The stab is moved foreward approx. 2". The vertical fin is cut down allowing for a larger rudder counter balance. The Eclipse is smoother and locks in better on knife edge, uplines and downlines. I have not flown the Fantasy with the recommended 3D throws. For me the Fantasy is a back-up pattern plane for the Eclipse. Hopefully this fall I can practice some 3D with the Fantasy.

Wish I had the funds. I would like to set up an Eclipse for a electric power plant. I plan to buy another Eclipse this fall.
