Btw guys, I too am interested in these models and packages. The price is certainly right and if the quality follows, these combo packages are excellent beginner entries into gassers, IMAC competition and 3D.

I agree with some posters here however, that fake build posts by the manufacturer is BS and should be discouraged. What they could very easily do is find a builder and give them the combo to start a build thread. That would cost them all of $200 or less for pretty decent marketing here on RCU, and we could expect about the same quality and honesty in the review that we can expect from Model Airplane News or RC Flyer... Are there any volunteers.....?

Does anyone else ever wonder why there are usually very few negative things the reviewer has to say about any model especially from H9, GP. Lanier etc in those magazine reviews? When the same models are discussed by some of the real pros here and other places you typically hear that they are heavy, made with hotglue or other things that you would expect from a general purpose hobby brand as opposed to a performance brand (Comp-ARF, QQ).

As an example, I was interested in the FuntanaX 100 right after it came out. I had read the review in MAN and was all excited about the plane. However, after looking at posts and discussions and then back to the datasheet for the product I found that it was pretty much the same thing as the Funtana 90 (check the wingspan, length, wing area, weights for both models to see for yourself - well the engine range has increased). The article in MAN discussed a new wing design for better 3D - how could it come out at exaclty the same wingspan and area then? Also, a better 3D wing is usually thicker and not as thin as this wing (same as F90). The F90 has its followers and those that tried but gave up. I do not believe it is a very good 3D plane compared with many of the other models and profiles out there and it is marketed to beginner 3D pilots too even though maybe the core market is intermediate to advanced pilots (except most advanced pilots move onto bigger gassers). I think this is another re-dressing of the same model with soem minor design chnges to minimize the old F90's bad habits (snap etc.).

What do others think?

Cheers,

Stig
