Looking for future airplane: 2M x 2M
 

Hi

I am looking for a future airplane, I want to get bigger so it would be a 2M x 2m model, don't worry about the models flying charactiristics because I can fly anything now. Not necaseriily good but I can fly.

The Seba Funtana looks good, I got some vids of it flying (www.3drc.info) and was VERY impressed, though I guess I can put that down to the pilot!

The Capiche 140 is another, I don't mind kits but its alot of money and messing up a kit like this would be a problem, however I am building a Capiche 50 at the moment so I'll see how this goes and the maybe consider a Capiche 140 more seriously.

I am still open to LOTS more suggestions, a nice Ultimate bipe would be nice in 2M size wingspan, something big but not too big to transport in the average size car, that means removeable wings/tailplane/fin.

Thanks!

Shahid

But why would you want to pay all that money for something that flies crap? [:'(]

A 2m wing span bipe is getting very big - 50cc petrol or bigger, like the Double Vision or the CA Pitts Stinker. If you want a bipe the Goldberg ultimate is good if built light, but cant get hold of them in the UK [:o]

The Funtana is good for spins and tumbles but not so good on knife edge. The C140 is looking like the good alrounder. Everything else is molded fuz so very expensive.

Ok thansk for the explanation, I thinking, that instead of bigger for my next airplane, go smaller, shockflyer? Well thanks anyway I'll keep what you have said in mind.

Lol when I said flying chracrtaristics, i meant if its difficult to fly.

Something from the F3a stable might be good. A Lorenz High Society, Majestic or Smaragd freestyle, think it's the Lazulite now though.
All these kits can be made into AA planes and are all 2x2

I have seen futanas knife edge just fine.

RE: Looking for future airplane: 2M x 2M
 

Funtana Pro does it okay but not the standard version. Capiche 140 is a whole different ball game though...........

RE: Looking for future airplane: 2M x 2M
 

I fly the S 1.40 version... knife edge isnt brilliant, you can fly through a knife edge loop and come out predictably but it takes lots of power... personally i think it's too long. Mine has been modified for better knife edge and the results are noticable, but its still not excellent.

The funtana pro is supposed to be a lot better but I think the C140 still wins in the KE department.. thats not to say it does everything better though.

RE: Looking for future airplane: 2M x 2M
 

Bipes look bigger. My goldberg ultimate looked huge, but in wing span and length, about the same as a C50 [&:]

40% Giles? hmm sounds interesting. :D

RE: Looking for future airplane: 2M x 2M
 

mines actually less than 2m :p very nice size plane.

RE: Looking for future airplane: 2M x 2M

Still, Id like some sort of Ultimate one day.
