Introduction
The FuntanaX 50 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 FuntanaX 50 a very
impressive thrust-to-weight ratio and crisp control authority at any airspeed. The genuine UltraCote® trim scheme and
factory painted parts, such as the cowl and wheel pants, complement the performance perfectly.

or replacement decisions are at the sole discretion of Horizon Hobby, Inc. Further, Horizon Hobby reserves the right to
