Question about Funtana .40 Throws
Hello guys, I just scored a deal at the local field. Picked up the following:
Funtana 40
Saito 91
2x Hitec 5645
2x Hitec 5625
1x Hitec hs-80?
Futaba R148DF 8-Channel Receiver
all for a whopping... $150
In any case it didn't come with a manual
I was wondering if you guys knew the recommended factory high and low rates for the plane
On top of that, i'm switching over from a low wing sportster and wanted to ease into this beast...
Do you guys have any recommendations as far as "docile" throw rates?
Thanks

Docile - Aileron 1.5", Rudder 2.5", Elevator 1.75"
Wild - the most the servo can handle!!!
Just becareful about the elevator as if it is a lot of throw and pulled hard the plane will like to snap a bit. Other than that the plane is lovely to fly. Comes in for landing real easy. Just take it easy on the landings and not be too hard as the UC may come off. She is really nice to fly.

Horizon Hobby has a manual online. The recommended low rates are in there. That's what I would use. Be really careful with this plane. Like others said it can snap on you on high rates. You need to know how to use high rates and 3D rates on this ARF. Go way up high at first.

RE: Question about Funtana .40 Throws
I definitely will follow your instructions... I have flown this plane before but not on high rates, and a very long time ago... I am planning to put in about 35-45% exp on the ailerons and maybe even a little on the elevators... Gonna get comfortable flying aerobatically before i attempt any 3d...
Thanks for all your advice...
