Mini Funtana a real joy


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
I've been flying my mini Funtana around the parking lot. I have to say that I have been feeling a little "cramped" in this space. So have been avoiding flying this plane for some time.
Over this past week I finally got to spending some time at the field and have it flyable (lots of mowing).
I have since taken the mini-funtana out there. I have to say, with a little more room to "stretch out" this mini-funtana is a real joy to fly. It is stable, point and shoot, and does anything I ask of it. I have been eyeballing the 90S funtana for awhile now. If the larger unit flies as good as this little one, then I will definately be getting one. (have to crash and trash a few other planes first ).
Just wanted to share a pleasurable experience with this little aerobat.

My mini funtana is resurrected from a drawn out period of collecting parts and trashed units from various other modellers here on RCC. It can be viewed in my gallery.

Guided by either my Futaba 7CAP or my 9CAP depending on the day

I heard that it was a nice flying plane. I am running the Axi 2212/34
from you on the mini ultra stick with an 11 x 5 E and the motor doesn't even get warm! Takes off the basketball court in about four feet.
