Hello,
We have just received a limited production of the new 1.40 size Funtana S-ARF designed and produced by Sebastiano Silvestri.
This 78" span ARF model is a special production of the Standard Glow version, and features accessories for Electric Power Systems. The model includes a special electric motor mount and instructions to install the electric motor and battery system. Also included are a wing and elevator cover for storage/transport.
This model can also be powered with a 1.40-1.60 Glow engine system. English instructions are included for both glow and electric set-ups
This model is very similar to the Funtana Pro-Kit, with one major difference it is completely Built! The model is precision laser cut and professionally constructed.
The model is available directly from Aero-Model .com link as follows:

Please feel free to ask questions and I will do my best to answer them.

The wings have a lot more ribs than the 90 does. I've seen videos of Jason Shulman flying with the Hacker up front.
That price is a little to deep for my pockets.
Nice plane though, you don't notice the size until someone stands beside the plane.

It says the normal price is $700, special intro price is $600.
For that much scratch, I can get an H-9 33% bird.
So, in summary, I guess I am complaining.

Wow, 18 year old thread.
I flew my Hanger 9 Funtana 125 yesterday. Once I relocated three servos from the tail to just two servos over the CG (seven years ago), this plane became a light weight ( 9 lbs ) feather ( 1100 sq/in of wing area ). It is a blast of an airplane. I bought it used for 100 dollars plane and three nice metal gear servos.
Finding any plane like this is a real treat!
Here is a thread I wrote back then:
Ameyam
I tried to PM you, typed out but did not get sent some how. I still haven't weighed the 125 yet.
The maiden was a little wacky with a tail heavy plane. I went home and moved the rudder servo to right over the radio mounting plate (pull pull) which let me take 6 ozs of weight out of the nose.
This plane flew so well for me it was practically the only plane I flew last year. This year I plan to go to one elevator servo somehow and take another 5 ozs out of the nose.
This plane flies so great with the DLE 20 that both the guys who owned it before me and flew it with a heavy CRRC Pro 26 were sorry they sold it.
Great to hear about yours.
