RE: Funtana 90!
if you are the type to not balance a prop
not tinker with the needles to make the transistion of the motor smooth
run bent spinners
not tighten your bolts well with loctite
any motor is going to give your plane troubles.
i have had satio, os, rcs, brison, zdz, 3w, tt, bme all have ran very smooth ys on the other hand vibrates more than any motor i have had or seen. yes i have a ys-91 on a g-trick. my rcs 1.4 runs very very smooth.
its those folks at the field who don't have all the nesecarry tools to make rc the best it could be that usually run into all those problems of things fallling apart and flying when they know things are not correct but they just want that one more (last flight).
prop 4 or 6 pitch is a good way to go when a person overpowers an aircraft. now the average person that overpowers their plane will fly it faster than it should be which may induce flutter.
it boil down to eachs own and its their time and money as long as they are safe. i am sure my sting ray is overpowered compared to my pinto but thats another story...

RE: Funtana 90!
Might want to reconsider the 1.20 Look at the weight diff between it and the 100...Its a significant amount..Not sure how much more power you would get in the end...Actually the 150 is lighter than the 1.20 but I think thats just way to much for it..

RE: Funtana 90!
Anybody know what color the bottom of the wing is? All the pictures only show the top of the plane....
The pictures in the manual make it look like it's transparent covering like the 40 version, but the manual is b/w.
Trans blue with yellow stripes perhaps?

We've done a lot of flying with standard JR 537 servos all around. Not my personal choice for the best performance in a high performance aerobatic model but they actually worked very well.

what all motors have you liked on the funtana i had one of the desert aircraft ones and it was super light but i am not looking at building any more sticks kits for a while if ever and this one seems about that same size from my reading...
i ran a rcs 1.4 on mine and then i pulled that one off and installed a zdz-40 on a 20 x 10 now that was sweet still blimping the throttle for most flying except knife edge which did require more speed and the zdz 40 to the resucue on this deal. huge elevators made 3d so cool

RE: Funtana 90!
I can't seem tu understand one thing. The funtana S was a new thing since it was a really small version of the Katana. Now the funtana .90 is the same size as a Katana, so what is the big diffrence? Why should one buy a funtana .90 and not the original Katana?

RE: Funtana 90!
Just Called Horizon Today.... rep told me Late May is the expected arival of the FUNTANA 90!!!
The YS 110 looks like it would be a perfect fit, you could put the tank over the C.G. with no worries about fuel draw.
