Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

Lookin to get back into planes, been flying waaay to many heli's recently. Just picked up a e-flite edge 540 and all the brushless to go with, but want another 3d plane.

i ahve a os 160 sittin in my basement doing nothing.

If you guys could, list my options for a all out performance 3d plane that the 160FX would fit the bill for, it seems everything is for .91-1.20's, then it jumps to the 50cc'ers[:o]

Ultra RC 29% Giles. Check out the video on their site.

I vote for the Funtanna 90! It is one heck of a good combo. If you do a search on that combo here on RCU you will see what I am talking about. Other than that I would try to get my hands on an Extreme flight yak 54(68") or I think a few guys are using that motor on the Showtime 4D. Good luck with your choice!

YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THE GILES 202 from Ultra r/c...have had the Funtana...THIS PLANE BLOWS IT AWAY...here is the site and the forum for the plane..speak to Hovermaster..that is Chris..he is the kid that flys the demo on the web site !!!

Don't pay attention to the back order..they have some in...email them..the plane was designed around the 1.6 fx up to 50 cc motors..BUT...10 lbs plane !!!! the construction blows away the Funtana..things like all carbon fiber tubes...gear..kit to put tank on CG if you have a perry pump for the 1.6 like I do !!! AWESOME !!!

THIS PLANE IS MADE IN THE SAME FACTORY AS THE EXTREME FLIGHT YAK AND OTHER HIGH QUALITY PLANES...the color scheme looks much better in person..if near Charlotte NC..come fly mine !!! flys like a big foamie on Steroids !!!

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX

WHY G2O2 FLIES BETTER THAN F90
SPEC TO SPEC F90 IS ABOUT 2 LB LIGHTER WITH SAME WING AREA AND EVERYTHING SAME
I HOPE I OPEN UP A CAN OF WORMS
THX

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

Wrong,,, Most F90s are the same weight as the giles. the specs on the F90 were pulled off a crystal ball.
hope this helps on the worms..

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

Drumbum is right my F-90 weighed in at 9 pounds 14 oz dry with a Saito 150. I think they used OAK rather than Balsa on some of the F-90s.:D

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

The 2 planes both come in at 6 pounds bare. The Giles is longer and has more wing span & is IMAC legal--It will fly 3D and precision with the same set up.

The F90 does not compare to the Giles, but shouldn't as they are in 2 different price classes.

F90-- I don't think you will find more plane for $200 at your LHS.

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

the fliton extra 330 is way more plane for $200 and you dont have to use a 160, so in the long run money saved;)

if it was me i would spend the extra $150 and get the giles. since you allready have the 160 i presume.

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

Giles hands down, I have seen it fly in person and can vouch for it. I'd get one if I had a 160 or similar laying around.

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

I will look more into the giles, and yes, i have the 1.60FX sittin in the basement with an 18x6 mejzlik prop to go with:)

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

there was only 15 left in the first shipment as of monday i heard..

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

Well I guess if these were built in the same factory as the Extreme flight planes then you better get one now because it could be a year before they have any more ready! Now maybe we will see some more 68 inch Yaks:D!

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

If the Funtana and Giles come in at around the same weigh that means I could put my Saito 150 on the GILES!!..

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

haha.. long time no talk DAVID!!! remember me? i still got that extra you sold me.. haha i'm out of money, didnt even get a chance to buy the servos or the engine. now it is just sitting here... if you want it.. let me know... haha

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

Yep, I am seriously considering my OS108. Should be 10 pounds. Both planes are 6 pounds bare.

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

harrier 90 is my vote,,a saw 4 funtana90 fall apart and crash at my feild in the past month..
i think seegull makes a laser thats up there in engines too

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

A Harrier 90 for an os 160????[:-] Light it up--take another puff- oh yea,,,

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

the 120 150-180 only 3oz diff in weight,,thats why alot of guys are putting 180 on funtana 90

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

?????? I thought we were talking OS 160s[sm=bananahead.gif]

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

satio 150-180 same thing for weight i like the 4str better for 3d,
throttle responce much better on 4str
power the same,

RE: Full blown 3d plane for 160FX
 

yea but this guy is talking about an OS 160 since he has one.. I personally have a YS-140L 4 stroke on mine . but that isnt his question.
