RE: Need a replacement plane........
Guess I'll go against the grain here. I've owned the EF 68" yak, and flown the Funtana 90 enough times to comment on it, I sometimes wonder if others making recommendations have done the same? Anyway, they're both great 3D planes. If you're looking for a huge difference going to the EF yak I think you'll be disappointed. In my opinion the difference in price doesn't reflect the difference in the way they fly. The funtana is a nice bang for the buck. After some 40 flights on my yak, I'd question the airframes durability and longevity after 100+ flights as very thin wood used combined with the foam construction isn't as durable as solid wood planes, IMO. On the other hand the same funtana I put a few flights on blew up in mid air from the flutter issue, I've heard that problem has been fixed though.
