Default RE: Next plane

I'd get a Funtanna 90, put at least a 100 four stroke in it and have some fun. It's a great flyer, lands slow and easy and can make you look like an expert. Built stock it needs a lot of weight in the nose, Balance it well forward of the suggested CG point. My first one I had to add 11 ozs. of lead to the nose. Second one I mounted the rudder on a pull pull and both evervator servos, with carbon fibre pushrods, 2/3's of the way back in the radio compartment. Balance was perfect and plane flew great and still is after 2 years of pretty hard use. You won't beleive how gentle it is landing and how well it performs.
