Funfly.

This is such a fun aircraft to fly, hence the name. They say it will climb out of site on a standard 25 size engine. Who are they trying to kid? Like heck it will! Mine wont even prop hang on a decent 40! But, it is absolutely great. due to this apparent lack of power, some neat tail-slides can be achieved with ease. With the control movements I have set on it, it will roll very quickly, loop on a sixpence and, with a bit more power, will knife edge loop. By god it doesn't half snap roll!

Unfortunately, this plane won't be doing this any more for a while at least as on Saturday 1st July 2000 the threads on the elevator pushrod died and the clevis came off the end. This caused a severe lack of elevator response and it preceded to dive toward the beach where it subsequently buried itself. The front end was completely demolished and the wing got a few dents but the tail is alright. I was slightly annoyed as I'm sure you may have guessed.
