The new FuntanaS™ .90 3D ARF was designed exclusively for Hangar 9®by Italy’s most famous aerobatic pilot,
Sebastiano Silvestri. He based the FuntanaS on his highly successful KatanaS TOC design.
The FuntanaS can do it all—harriers, torque rolls, blenders, and almost anything else you can dream up. It’s all
possible, thanks to an extremely lightweight, all-wood airframe and big control surfaces that give the FuntanaS a very
impressive thrust-to-weight ratio and crisp control authority at any airspeed. Sebastiano’s signature UltraCote®trim
scheme and factory-painted parts such as the cowl and wheel pants complement the performance perfectly.

An RC aircraft is not a toy! If misused, it can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property. Fly only in open
areas, preferably at AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) approved flying sites, following all instructions included with
your radio and engine.
Additional Required Equipment (not included)
The servos used for the control surfaces of the
FuntanaS™ 90 must have a minimum of
50 ounce inch of servo torque.We used JR811
servos in the prototype Funtana.
JR811 Advanced Sport Digital Servo
Torque: 54 oz/in Speed: .18 sec/60°
Weight: 1.44 oz Size: 0.75" x 1.49" x 1.52"
Motor: Coreless Ball Bearing: Dual
For optimum performance, we recommend the JR9411
Precision Digital Servos.
JR9411 Premium Digital Servo
Torque: 82 oz/in Speed: .15 sec/60°
Weight: 1.36 oz Size: 0.71" x 1.41" x 1.03"
Motor: Coreless Ball Bearing: Dual
Warning
The FuntanaS 90 was designed specifically for the 3D flight envelope, which favors thrust over speed. Flying your
aircraft at high speeds may cause flutter due to the extremely large control surfaces.To keep the speed down and
thrust up, use low-pitch propellers such as a 16x4 APC wide for engines such as the Saito™1.00.
Use the Correct Propeller!

Before Starting Assembly
Using the Manual
Before beginning the assembly of your FuntanaS 90™, remove each part from its bag for inspection. Closely inspect
the fuselage, wing panels, rudder, and stabilizer for damage. If you find any damaged or missing parts, contact the
place of purchase.
If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun or covering iron to remove them. Use caution while working
around areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors.
This manual is divided into sections to help make assembly easier to understand and to provide breaks between
each major section. In addition, check boxes have been placed next to each step to keep track of each step
completed. Steps with two boxes indicate that the step will require repeating, such as for a right or left wing panel,
two servos, etc.Remember to take your time and follow the directions.
