Hangar 9 Funtana .40????
How much more difficult could it be to add the wing root faitings which are the definitave part of a Funtana/Katana? Without the wing root fairings it looks like any other Extra/Edge/CAP, and just plain does not look like a Funtana.
BTW: My 78 inch Funtana in the picture in my previous post, is ELECTRIC powered.....
New 30 cell Hacker motor, but lithium polymer batteries for 25+ minute flight times

Hangar 9 Funtana .40????
i have Ben reading threads on the funtana and ppl are saying that theirs ready to fly with a saito 72 in it comes in at just under 5 lbs.i saw a vid of the thing flying in pretty Gusty winds and it still looked like a rocken plane!!. i ordered mine and should have it soon. i'm gonna put a YS 63 in it, not to much power but still lotts for it.i think anything bigger than a saito 72 is to much. the control surfaces are huge and will flutter ur plane apart if u go much bigger. the bottom of the plane is covered in clear yellow so if u aren't shur of how strong its built u can look in and take a peak. i like the looks of the funtana and i think it has a nice look with the white covering. but thats just me

Hangar 9 Funtana .40????
I just got my Funtana and was wondering if anyone has built it and uses a 2-Stroke for power. If so, what size did you go with? I think that it is too large of a plane for a .46 to do anything 3D with. Would a .61 do the job? I know everything you do adds weight and there is where you start shooting yourself in the foot. What about the O.S. 50SX or the Magnum XLS-52?

U-Can-Do-3D-.46
I have the UCD in the .46 size. I have an OS-70 swinging an APC 12x6 prop. This is more than enough and the thought of the Saito .91 or 100 sounds good, but it would require a hefty investment in lead for the tail.

OS .70 - 20.65 ounces w/muffler
Saito .91 - 18.59 ounces w/muffler.

U-Can-Do-3D-.46 Specs.
Wingspan: 56.75 inches
Length: 58.5 Inches
Wing Area: 904 Sq. Inches
Wing Loading according to manual: 12.7-14.3 oz/sq ft
Weight per manual: 5lbs-5lbs 10oz I haven't weighed mine- no scales.
A word to the wise- If your going to use a Tru-Turn Spinner then check out this URL:
http://www.truturn.com/cgi-bin/store...exact_match=on[/URL]
I ordered the one recommended in the manual and the largest APC prop that would fit was a 11x4.
I hope this helps!

Funtana Hanger 9
Funtana fans,
I just purchased a Funtana but haven't had the time to put it together..My impressions of the plane were , it appeared to be very light construction, but well constructed. That opinion could change as it goes together.. It appears large for a 46 but if I can keep it light I will probably put a Thunder Tiger 46 on it ..
Several of you have mentioned a "BA import".. Pardon my stupidity, what is that?
