Multiplex Fun Jet

[mark_w]

Hi,

I have been looking at the Squall, but I dont think I can afford it really, as would need new 4 cell lipos and I like to keep all my heli money for heli repairs not buying planes :D


I have been reading up and found that lots reccomend the fun jet. I have a Scorpian esc (35amps i think), 3 cell lipos, full range rx, 9g servos all lying around so would I be right in assuming i just need the fun jet and motor/prop?

Where is the best place to get the funjet from? and what motor should I get (from giant cod)?

Would this give me a nice setup? How does it compare to the squall?

Thanks :)

Hi Mark

Got my Funjet from inwood.

I'm using this in mine: [URL]http://www.brchobbies.com/?page=shop&action=additem&item=811[/URL]


On a 6x4 APc prop and 3S it will climb vertically until its a speck in the sky. Does about 80mph at full pelt.

Its available from several shops under different names (Turnigy/Wasp, etc)
just make sure you get the 2700Kv model. Giant Cod has it (with heatsink) at a good price but is out of stock at the moment- worth keeping in mind for future.

Another good motor is the HET 20-2w but it draws more current and would require a larger ESC - but it works on either 3 or 4S.

Dont know how it compares to a squall but it flies very well with no problems - cant stall it and it doesnt flick in tight turns - its a pleasure to fly

yeah a 2700kv motor is perfect for 3s :) robotbirds also sell the funjet, think thats where i got mine from
