Hello, i am new to the big elc, seen and i have a funtana 40
that i called hobby lobby and they set me up with a AXI
4120/18 and 70 opto and 5cell 3700 mah lipo
14x10 e apc . And i have advanced the timing
and not enought power? could someone
help me?? its almost sounds like the wrong set up!

thanks ken I also have two 3 cell lipo packs 4000 mah 11.1 in series 22.2

I too have the Funtana 40 with an AXI 4120/18 motor & APC 14x7 prop. I also use the older 70 OPTO ESC and (2) Thunder Power 3s2p 4200mAh batteries in series. Power is similar to a Saito 80 (plenty) this way. If you use (1) 4200mAh battery the plane will fly fine, but with less power. I am currently waiting for the newer A123 batteries to be more readily available, and then I will switch to them. Hope this helps.........

Thank 's John

I have the same esc, 70 opto with hobby lobby's bec
did you change the timing? on yours?
the stock setting was the single beep mode
i had to change it ,it would cut out on throttle up
and make a chopping sound.H.L told me on the set up they sold me
I would not have to touch the timing.

thanks ken

k lupold

also, when i got the set up the plane had plenty
of power then about the sixth time i flew it
it started that chopping sound on throttling up?
then i read how to advance the timing
the chopping sound went away
still no power. is there a good meter
that can measure the watt's /volts this is on the 5 cell 18.5 flightpower lipo's

Hi Ken; No, I didn'nt have to touch anything.......I've flown mine for two summers now and look forward to my next project; probably a Yak 54 of some sort. Maybe with an AXI 4131 for power. The battery thing has me somewhat perplexed, but as I mentioned the newer A123's look promising and I still fly 28% gassers.......Regards[8D]

k lupold

Cool, I love the big gassers! hope to start a 29% this summer and my friend fly the hyperion 53 yak
and she is solid as a rock, handle's like on a rail, well I am thinking i will send my esc back
to H.L and hope they will fix the problem??

thanks for yor help and happy flying!

Is anyone flying a funtana 40 with a e-flite 46 motor?? and a 5cell 3700 mah??
what prop should try??

thanks ken

k lupold

Hey, John its ken I found out it was my esc !! it was not leting the motor
spool up with the watts it needed I put a watt meter to it and she read
290 watts at full throttle?? so i took the 5cell lipo to my friends
hooked it up and got a 1000 watts at full throttle 60 amps!
so the lipo is fine it's the jetti 70 my motor was fine.

thanks ken

My main ? is how doese anyone think it will fly should be ok with size wing about 800 sq in.

k lupold

It's your mah 3300 would give you a longer run time.
try that set up, and with the batts you have you will feel the power
loss back off the power and set up to land.
