Hi Jason (Secant0give)

What motor are you running in yours? I've ordered the 2836 -2300KV

I was also looking at this one, Same motor body just wired for 3200KV

I was considering using only filament tape to toughen the
wings mainly because of weight. I could put in a carbon spar but we used to fly slope soarer's with just tape on foam and they went pretty fast and pulled high G's. they never failed in the air, Sometimes when conditions permitted they were heavily balested as well.

Have you ever heard of a funjet failing in the air with out a carbon spar or clapping wings ?? I know Kizza's striker suffered flutter and failed a linkage.

I'll have a look at the forums tho' looking the airframe I'd think the main mode of failier was impact with the ground.

Have you got any interesting funjet links??

This is the Funjet Thread that Kev Started Started as i originally imported a whole lot of Funjets from Overseas before they became available on Hobbyking and sold at cost to members of the club.
As i was very inspired by Kieran's Stryker when i first visited the club several year ago and had to have something similar and Strykers at the Time where pretty much hard to get hold of anywhere in the world.
So The Funjet from Skyartec was the next best thing.
I have burnt out many motors testing on the Funjet to i came across the Scorpion motors with 200 deg heat threshold and being able to push the motors max current specs to double its specs say and have no problems at all running.

As for Motor sizes and setups you thinking of with these motors -
2300kv - 7x5 or 7x6 prop - 60 amp - 80 amp esc 3s Lipo
2300kv - 6x5 prop on 4s - 80 amp speedy
3200kv - 6x4 or 6x5 prop - 80 amp esc 3s Lipo
3200kv - 5x5 prop if you decide 4s setup

My Standard Funjet Setup was 3595kv - 6x5 prop - 80 amp Esc max Current on Full Throttle 63 Amps 3s lipo, 180kmh level flyby

My Hot Rod Setup Was 1900kv 7x7 prop - 200 amp esc - 6s lipo 255kmh level flyby

Currently Stryker Setup I'm Using Is 3595kv - 6x5 prop - 80 amp Esc on 4s Drawing just over 80 amps full throttle.

Here are Some additional old Pics That i Found that i don't think i posted on this thread.

P.s Secure your Canopy Lid or you will lose it in Flight, secure as well the Lipo inside, re glue your motor mount and brace underside motor mount.
