Default RE: Funtana 40 Engine Question??

Having over 500 flights on the Funtana (and currently four in the hangar) I will tell you that it 3D'S very well with a Saito .82. It is ballistic with an Evolution .61 with spectacular aerobatics (however, not much pull-out authority when hovering) It is very aerobatic and will hover even with an Evolution .46. So to answer your question ...your .60 four-stroke should be able to pull this plane around decently. There are some people here that feel you dont have enough power unless you can rocket straight up from a hover on the deck. Well...there are very few people that fly that way. Weight is definitely an issue...keep it light.
