RE: YS-63S: Airframe suggestions?

After some more research, I've decided to go with the Extreme Flight 58" Extra 300 with the glow conversion kit. The color scheme I'd like is out of stock, so I'll have to wait for that, but I'll...

RE: YS-63S: Airframe suggestions?

I was considering the Funtana X 50. Does anyone know how this compares to the old FuntanaS 40 by Hanger 9? I liked that plane a lot.
