i was within a flies testicle of ordering a Funtana Pro,
but i am completely fed up of waiting for Probuild to get them from germany(must have been 8 weeks by now) without any news. So now i am going straight for the Capiche 140, which i think may well be better (but i dont really know- i'm just guessing looking at the two different shapes). Best of all i'm getting a British plane from a bunch of really nice guys that i have met face to face.

Its still being developed, but i hope it will come out soon- any news will be on www.flycapiche.co.uk . The Capiche 140 has got a lot of the top guys interested.
One of the top UK pilots flew it for the first time and then ordered one straight after, saying that it was brilliant. And if its good enough for him, its good enough for me!
