Good luck with the Funtana 40. I have one too. It flies much different than the twist. Its not as short coupled so you can pattern with it better. But it still has the same tail heavy landing characteristics as the twist so you should be good to go. What engine are you gonna use on the Funtana ?. I am using the Magnum .91 4 stroke, but I am sure the .72 or .82 Saito would work fine. I am using a 14X6 prop. One hint......dont use those teeeeeny little wheels they give you with the Funtana, put some 2.25 inchers or bigger on it. I am using 3.5 inchers, unless you are gonna take off from a paved run-way, then your fine with the ones supplied. The Funtana is a great plane. Its like if you mated a twist and a extra 300. It has the extra fuse and the twist wing with a little sweep to it. One thing you will notice about the Funtana, it is really the size of a 60 size bird, although they call it a 40, I guess because of the low weight. But it has a great profile. Its a little hard to see on a cloudy day (white). I enjoy both of them. Let me know how it goes.
