Default RE: Showtime

Most of my issues on the Funtana deal with weight. It is too heavy. Also, the landing gear is too light, and the tailwheel is bad and too light, the tail braces break everytime you fly it and the servo mounts for the ailerons are weak. The plane is impossible to land smoothly, or at all for some people with the CG at the manual recommendations. It can be made to fly well, I'm told with a great big engine and modifying or replacing all the above. You add hundreds of dollars to the plane. I had over 40 flights on my and hated it as much on the last one as I did the first one. To me it was a lousy plane. The best day I ever had with it was when I gave it away to a fellow club member. Now, on to better things, the Showtime. I think I'll like this plane,
Thanks,
Barry
