It flies faster and also have better maneuverability. I have also had many problems getting the thrust angle right on the Skyartec funjet and it's not easy changing the thrust angle. The stock setup seems to have too much up-thrust to begin with.<br /><br />I also had some problems with the canopy staying put during flight on the Skyartec funjet. It flew off a few times. Now because the canopy of the Skyartec funjet is big, this affects the CG of the plane and once the canopy flies off during flight, it usually spells trouble as the funjet would become tail-heavy and landing would prove to be a big challenge.<br /><br />And yes, the original 'glue' that came with the skyartec funjet kit is pretty junk! I stick to my trust-worthy epoxy instead.<br /><br />As for the antenna, i don't have any comment as i am flying on a 2.4ghz receive so the antenna is short.RC Flying!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05782664813681611872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703435457003681695.post-58331575515520165612009-06-30T21:08:18.278+08:002009-06-30T21:08:18.278+08:00I would be interested to know what Multiplex did r...I would be interested to know what Multiplex did regarding another observation of the Skyartec funjet.<br /><br />The Aerial Antenna..... on the Skyartec the Antenna comes out through a hole in the right side of the canopy. There are no instructions in the manual that suggest you need to do anything about it, but I ended up taping mine down the right side of the canopy and along the wing edge to the end of the right side of the wing. <br /><br />I didn't dare test it before having done this, but it really looked like if it was not moved, it would in all likelyhood get tangled up with the propellar at the back.<br /><br />Would be curious to know what Multiplex did with theirs.Greedy Biscuit Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286387422828156067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703435457003681695.post-25266062163915545292009-06-30T20:25:32.769+08:002009-06-30T20:25:32.769+08:00Thanks for the info, I have just bought the Skyart...Thanks for the info, I have just bought the Skyartec funjet, and am interested in the differences between what is almost certainly a cheaper imitation of the original Multiplex funjet.<br /><br />One thing I found with the Skyartec, the glue they include with the plane for the final part of the build is rubbish ! There was hardly any glue in the tube, and it ran out before I had stuck on the first wing. Ended up buying some "FalconGrip" to finish the build with.Greedy Biscuit Baronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286387422828156067noreply@blogger.com
