The last Funtana
I think i have read enough threads on the H9 funtana to choke a horse !! Here is what i need.
1) I need to know if you are happy with the 3D of your Funtana? 3D ONLY! Yes or no will do.
2) What motor are you using?
3) How heavy is your funtana?
4) Where is your CG?
If you could post what you have here i would be very thankfull !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: The last Funtana
ORIGINAL: Professa

I am looking for a 3D plane. I have had funfly's, scale ship's and every thing inbetween. I did buy a funtana. I got about a 5 min maiden today(25 mph wind). Just cant figure out if its a good plane or not. I will find out my self but want to see if its motor weight and or cg that make people happy with this plane.
Thanks again

1- NO! Not at all. Far better planes avalible. Did luv the roll rate. Rolls fast.
2- Irvine 53 with tower muffler. 12.25-3.75 APC Good Power
3-5.5 lbs.
4-Not too sure, however behind the recomended CG.
For a 3D plane, there are much better planes available that do not have the advertising budget the Funtana has.

RE: The last Funtana
I DONT HAVE A CLUE MY UNCLE DID IT . I KNOW ITS PORTED AND POLISHED. THE PORTS ARE BIGGER THAN A 120 . IT HAS A 120 CARB I KNOW HAD TO ORDER IT. HE MADE THE CARB PIPE TO FIT SOME HOW HE STRECHED ONE TO MAKE IT SMALLER ON ONE END. IT HAS ONE HECK OF A CAN MUFFLER ON IT. IT DONT EVEN SOUND LIKE A 100 SATIO. IT RUNS VERY RUFF HARD TO START HARD TO TUNE LIKE 3 CLICK TO MUCH ONE WAY IT QUITS. HAVE TO RUN ALL 30% FUEL. IT HOVERS A LITTLE LESS THE 1/4 THROTTLE . PULLS OUT WAY FASTER PULLS 12 POUNDS 0 OUNCES OF TRUST . I THINK ITS A LITTLE LIKE THE WEST BUILT ENGINES. POWER NOW REBUILD LATER . IF YOU MAKE THE PORTS BIGGER IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN RPM THAT WOULD BE THE EASY PART. AFTER IT RUN IN I GOT 375 MORE RPM OUT OF IT WITH A 16/4 PROP THAN BEFORE ON A 15/4. THE GUY KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING HE BUILDS LAWN MOWER ENGINES TO TURN OVER 8500 RPM IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE MY 180'S

HE SAID SOMETHINK ABOUT WELDING AND REGRINDING SOMETHING TO DONT HAVE A CLUE ABOUT ENGINES OR ELECTRONIKS JUST FLY THE STUFF AND HOPES IT STAYS IN THE RIGHT NUMBER OF PARTS
