I finished my 46 Harrier the day before yesterday and flew it briefly yesterday morning. I'm quite impressed. I've been flying a 40 Funtana for the last two summers and after flying the Harrier the Funtana will probably be sold. I could never get the Funtana to do a harrier without the wings rocking continously and it was a bear to hover the thing. The ailerons were never very responsive in a hover. The Harrier 46 seems to be just the opposite. The wings didn't rock at all in a harrier and ailerons were quite effective in a hover. Blenders looked just as good, and tic tocks were easier and looked better than with the Funtana. The only manuever that the Funtana did better was a wall. I have a Saito 82 in the front of the Harrier and I'm having trouble getting the CG back into the suggested envelope, once I get the CG on back I'm sure the walls will improve. Landing was a breeze, but I cheat a little. I copied the Funtana setup over to another memory and used that for basic start. I had around forty degress of flaps programmed into the Funtana and I kept that on the Harrier. Makes for steep but slow landings.
Unless you have a reversed servo, a reverser will be necessery with a Y-harness. The two elevator servos are on opposite sides of the tail with the push rods each coming off the top side of the servo. That will make one backward to the other if they are the same model of servo. I fly with a 9Z and plugged each elevator servo into the reciever and let the radio do the reversing. Because I needed to get some weight toward the rear (that Saito 82) I put the reciever and battery at the back of the radio compartment. With that setup and Futaba 9202 servos, one six inch and two twelve inch extensions were needed. I ran the antennae along the bottom of the fusalage, at first the range checks were lousy. By tying the extensions up at the front and getting some clearance between them and the antennae, the range checks improved dramaticaly. Stange that I would have a problem, since I had the same exact setup in the Funtana, minus one extension.
