RE: funtana x50
I've got 28 flights on mine, the best I can tell you is that it is a very confusing plane to trim. When the plane is trimmed to fly straight and level you have to give it down elevator to land, which makes hard to land, It has some bad coupling problems inwhich I'm trying to work out. I believe it can be a good plane. At this point I would NEVER buy another. In talking with some other 3D pilots they have the same feelings.

RE: funtana x50
I had one and would suggest another plane for you. It is a super easy build, but there are some issues with the elevator. Namely it is a large plane but the elevator is controlled from only one side...so it tends to snap out of loops very easy.
I second the trim complaints...odd quirks.
Best of luck...

Michael, you are on the tail heavy side. Try landing it like this. Come in at a shallow angle about two clicks above idle. Just fly it in without holding it up. I think you will find this a little easier. I would not change the CG. The CG being back makes the plane perform well it just hurts the landings.
