The new FuntanaS™ .40 3D ARF was designed exclusively for Hangar 9
Sebastiano Silvestri. He based the FuntanaS on his highly successful KatanaS TOC design. The result is a
budget-friendly .40-size airplane with unlimited 3D performance.
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
pants complement the performance perfectly.
