Calling British 3D Pilots
since when is the 3styla a funfly?
its an F3A / 3D Hybrid .
Get your facts right!
Plus I didnt say they're not welcome, I said we're trying to keep it to 3d flying. You shaould know ytourself that flying the capiche is heaven compared to a limbo dancer in 3d mode!
The funtana needs nose weight anyway (well mine does!) basically the problem is that im putting the model in all different directions and using the engine torque so a softer mount is just making vibration and shaking the plane to bits. With the MC mount if i throttle up i could watch it move about 2 degrees to the right even with the nose ring, and the whole mount twisted... not ideal in this model. Only takes a little imagination and thought to think of the stresses on that mount, and I think it's on that account that it broke so quickly.
I may try the gator because I think it will be suitable and will certainly do the job, but I'd say the Dubro type will be better. It's just two metal beams with iso mounts on the end basically.
Probably waffled a bit in this post! Bedtime!
