I have been spending time with the Fliton and the plane is amazing! I have been flying the F90 for a while and I now find that the Fliton is much better. Literally NO KE coupling, easy to fly, tracks so straight. Mine is powered with a Saito 72 only turning a 13x6 prop with Cool Power 30% heli. Doing IMAC manuevers with this plane is a dream.

I can prop hang on about 70% throttle, the plane pulls out a little slow from a hover. I just started to mix in flaps and this plane will do a great wall ... can see her just come to almost a stop in mid air. This one is a keeper ... I sold the F90 ...

Best power plant is the Saito 82 for sure ... the 100 is for pure 3D mayhem.
i just recently found a YS-63 will hover a 5.6lb plane with ZERo problem pulling out.. If my Flip 3D ever goes in im going to try it in a Fliton EXTRA..
I have flown EXTRA ADDICTS with an OS 91 FS pumped. it is a great flying plane.

One word of warning (NOT BAD NEWS), we found out that it is best to set this plane up with the CG as far foreward as you can get that will still 3D well. ( IM NOT saying to move it foreward more than recomended) im saying that as you move it back the it DOES start to couple.. so if you are experiencing coupling. i would bet money the CG is too far back... as an expirement we tried everything with it too far back and with it moved to the point where it dosent couple and it still flies 3D fine PLUS exelent pattern.. so you get the best of both worlds
That sounds great. At that CG setting does it need any down elevator in inverted flight? Also, will it waterfall tight at that setting?
