I lost my Excelleron 90 last night. Had a bad un-intended snap at the bottom of a loop which I couldn't recover from. May have lost part of the elevator linkage - I am not sure. Never been particularly snappy before last night. It continued to snap everytime I touched the elevator all the way through a tree at a velocity that turned it to confetti.

Anyways, looking for a new home for my YS 91FZ if it checks out OK. Would It haul around the Focus Sport well?

With 30% fuel and a 14x10 prop it would barely haul my Excelleron around a large loop with authority. Vertical uplines would get real iffy at about 250' or so.
My beat around H9 Twist with piped 46FX on 30% was easier to fly large loops or extended vertical lines with than the "pattern" oriented Excelleron. Which was sad considering how short coupled the Twist is.


I have no idea what the Excelleron weighed. Anyone pleased with the 91 in a Focus Sport?

I am trying to decide if I should buy a new plane for the 91FZ or pony up for a used 140 for a well worn Focus 1 I recently acquired.

I am looking for the best way back into the air SUB $300. Flying Intermediate class IF I make a contest. Don't compete very often, but flying for fun I usually end up flying my own sequences that fall into the Master level or so. So lets just say that the power level of the FZ in the Excelleron left lots to be desired.

Thanks for any feedback!
