Default New Funtana Pro !

Hi Guys,

I was able to make work merge with play and attend the Sinsheim
show in Germany while on a layover. I purchased the brand new Funtana Pro from Exclusiv Modelbau while there. It has the following features and enhancements to the original:

-airfoiled tail feathers with provisions for a HS-5245 type servo in the stabs.
-removable horizontal stabs
-new fuselage construction using balsa sides
-20mm taller turtle deck for improved knife edge.

I was told that the structure comes in 300 g or 10.6 oz lighter than the original.

Overall, the kit is excellent except for a slight defect on the balsa/foam turtle deck. The instructions leave a lot to your imagination including control throws and CG but any experienced modeler will be able to figure it out.

Did the Funtanas imported by Desert Aircraft have English instructions ?
