Here is a video that I found in another post. It look for ever to download, so I assume lots of people did not get to see it. It's a video of a foam factory (I think) BiPlane. I posted it on my site which should be much faster to download.

Man I gotta get one of those.

Drew,

I'm pretty sure that's Manuel Nubel with one of his Ultimate designs. Check out his website:

and click on the videos link for more cool stuff.

Check this one out too (my current favorite)....

Thanks, Dennis

Yes, that funtana looks great. Im curently looking for a electric (prefeably brushed) indor parkflyerat the moment, pls tell all you know

A fellow in Holland came up with this one. I'm thinking about trying this one myself. Here's a building thread over on RCGroups/Foamies. Lots of good E-info there and in the 3D forum too.

Here's a basic plan [link=http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=1649689]FuntanaMini Plan (PDF)[/link]

Hello every one.
Last summer I started to build the Funtana pro, I like the model so much that I started to design also a small backyard Funtana called the Funtana mini. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.a...598&tostyle=tm http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.a...608&tostyle=tm

The video you see is my second version of the Funtana mini flown by 15 years old Derk van der Vecht.
He was third on the German aerobatic indoor Championchip.
This airplane is totally couplings free!!!!
It does ALL the 3D stuff very easy indoor and outdoor.
In fact I learned most 3D stuff with this little airplane.
My big Funtana Pro is almost finished and I hope, I really really hope it will fly as good as my Funtana mini.....

very nice
i like a proper fuz over the profile 3DX, i will try and build one
should be good.

What is the two differant Flaperon mixes in the Funtana video used for??? What example in the video would be where each are used?

I have programmed 3 flight modes for my Funtana mini.
1: Normal flight for precision aerobatic.
2: Extreme flight for freestyle 3D aerobatic
3: 3D with "contraflaps"

The contraflaps are coupled to the elevator stick, up elevator--> down flaps.
The beginning of the video you can see the difference between flight mode 2 and 3.
You can make extreme small pitch curves, watch the video from 1,35 minute.
In practice we fly indoor almost everything with mode 3.
When we did a torqueroll we switched back to mode 2 but now even a torqueroll we do it in mode 3!!!
It is so easy to TR with this one!
