Looking for a 3D or well suited acrobatic plane for a YS 1.20. Had a Goldberg ultimate which is no more
. I'm pretty bummed, lost signal alltogether on my dx7
.
What do you guys think? I really liked the biplane. like REALLY liked it, so something similar would be nice.
ARF please, Idont have the time for a kit.
THanks

The Funtana 120 is almost the sme size as there old 100 and almost as light. I have my 1.20Ys in one of the CG Extra 300s, it's a smaller plane but weighs more, a lot more, then the ARF Funtana. Just something to look at. I can't fly 3-D anyway.

Mare stated 3-D and there are just so many choices in light weight ARFs you can't just pick one.. My first thought was why not another Ultimate? Extras, 300 and 260 for scale. Kits may be pretty thin but in ARFs there are just so many choices in 90 to 120 size that teh YS would work well in. Just do a web search or open up a MAN magazine then pick the pretty one you like.

25% Edge 540T, is that too much plane for the YS120?

Not for 3-D. It calls for a 20cc gas to a 30cc gas so your YS is at the very bottom of the engine selection at 20cc four stroke. Just for grins go to Nitroplanes.com and look at there 90 to 1.20 planes. Not the greatest planes ever made but the price is right and they are really light weight. I have assembled several of them for people. They aren't going to be as nice as an Aeroworks but they are half the price. My YS is pulling a 68 inch CG Extra 300L kit built plane with an all up weight of 13 pounds. The weight and plane design isn't for 3-D but it is a perfect combo for IMAC flight. Vertical is very good but it can't pull itself out of a hover. That should help you figure out a ball park weight and size of plane your YS will pull. That video was really short? They didn't say what engine they had in it. Aeroworks is now using the 30cc DLE in there 1.20 YAK, that's what they are recommending anyway. They also sell DLE if that has anything to do with it?

I'm looking for more acrobatic then 3D. But if it is capable of 3D, I wouldn't mind.
After looking at some prices of a suitable plane for the YS120.... Imight as well sell the YS120 and pick up a combo from Peak Models.Their 25% Edge with DLE30cc is really calling my name.
