Hanger 9 Funtana 90: Motor-Hacker C50 13XL, ESC- Jeti 77, prop-APC 22X12, Battery-Kokam 3200’s 10 S 20 C. Flying weight-10.5 pounds.  Unlimited vertical, power similar to a Saito 180.  Great 3D plane.  This was an older set-up about 5 years ago, now it has the above-mentioned E-Flite 160.

TOC-1 30% Yak 54: Wingspan 87”,Motor- AXI 5330-18, ESC Jeti 90, prop APC 22X12, Battery- Kokam 3200’s 10 S 20C. Good vertical, great IMAC or pattern plane.  Flying weight is about 16 pounds, power is a little less than a DA 50.  Later I changed this plane to the newer AXI 5345-14 on 12S, Wow! It now spins a 23X10 at over 9500 RPM in flight, I’m not sure my ZDZ 80 will do that.

Great Planes 25% Scale Extra 330: Wingspan 81”,Motor-Hacker C50 13XL, ESC- Jeti 90, prop APC 22X12, Battery- Kokam 3200’s 10 S 20 C.  Great vertical, great IMAC or pattern plane.  Flying weight is 15 pounds.

Wild Hare PT-1 Pylon Plane: Wingspan 42”, Motor- Mega 22-30-4, ESC- Jeti 70, prop- APC 9X8, battery- Kokam 4 S 3200’s 20 C.  Unlimited vertical, pretty much a 5 minute heart attack, near 150 MPH flat and level.  Flying weight is 4 pounds.

F5D Pylon Plane: Wingspan 39.5”, Motor- Mega 16-14-3, ESC- Castle Creations 35, battery Tanic 2200 3 S 12 C.  I never fly this one first, unlimited vertical at about 90 MPH.  Sister ship has been clocked at 201 MPH, this one is dumbed down to about 150 MPH, flying weight 1.5 pounds.

Robbie Limit F5B: Wingspan 72”, Motor- Hacker B50 10L, ESC- Jeti 70, propeller- 16X13, battery- Kokam 6 S 20 C.  This airframe is about 12 years old but the motor is updated.  Unlimited vertical at about 90 MPH.  Power is about 1700 watts with a flying weight of 4 pounds or about 425 watts per pound.  Current world-class competition F5B planes have about 4500 watts and will easily exceed 185 MPH flat and level with vertical just a little bit slower.

Hacker-Aero Model E3D: Wingspan 48”, Motor- Hacker A 30 12 XL, ESC- E-Flite 40, prop APC 15X8, battery- Kokam 3 S 3200.  Great 3D plane, unlimited vertical, 10 minute flight times.  If I could only have one plane this might be it.  Flying weight is 3 pounds.

Model-Tech Magic: Wingspan 52”, Motor- E-Flite 46 outrunner, ESC- Jeti 70, prop APC 15X8, battery- Kokam 4 S 20 C.  This is an older Fun Fly type plane that looks funky but

has a ton of power with 10 minute plus flight times.  Outstanding vertical, great 3D but not as smooth as the Hacker E3D.

Hanger 9 Miss America P 51: Wingspan 65”, Motor- Hacker C50 7XL, ESC- Hacker 77, prop APC 16X12, battery- Kokam 8 S 20 C.  Flying weight is about 10 pounds but despite that it lands quite slow and tracks like a pattern plane.  Great vertical and top speed a little less than 100 MPH.  I later re-powered this plane with a AXI 5330-18 outrunner on 12S pushing close to 4000 watts through it with a four bladed APC 15.5 X12 prop.  When we flew it at the 2007 Arizona fly-in it stopped everybody in their tracks.  We then changed the prop to a much more efficient 18X18 pylon prop.  A Gentlemen who had his plane clocked on radar at 130+ the day before said his’ wasn’t as fast.  Our guess was 150+.  Data logger had the prop spinning at 11,650 in flight.

Hanger 9 40 Size Piper Cub: Wingspan 82”, Motor- AXI 4130-16, ESC-Jeti 70, battery- Kokam 6 S 20 C, prop APC 16X10.  Too much power for this plane but its what I had laying around, similar to a 90 size 4-stroke.

Great Planes U-Can-Do 40: Wingspan 55”, Motor- Hacker C50 10L, ESC Jeti 70, battery- Kokam 6 S 20 C, prop- APC 18X8, flying weight 6.5 pounds.  Great 3D plane that flies like a trainer.

AS 22 Scale Fiberglass Glider: Wingspan 160”, Motor- Astroflight 40, ESC- Jeti 45, prop- Aero-naut 12X6, battery- Kokam 6 S 20 C.  This is a 15 year old model built in France by MAP.  The motor is a very old school brushed cobalt with a 2:1 gear drive that easily has over 300 flights on it.

Waco Terminator Cross Country Motor Glider: Wingspan 200”, Motor- Astroflight 25, ESC- Jeti 45, prop- Aero-naut 12X6, battery- Kokam 4 S 20 C.  Very old plane but was leading edge in its day, 100% Kevlar fuse and composite wing.  Very light wing loading you can stay up most of the day on one battery pack.  No more winches.

Great Planes 23% Gee Bee: Wingspan 70”, Motor AXI 5330-18, ESC Jeti 90, prop APC 19X12, battery Kokam 10 S 20 C.  Everybody loves this plane too bad no one can fly it, at least not me.  Mark Liesberg probably the worlds best RC pilot is the only one who landed this particular plane on it’s wheels and his thumbs were pretty busy.  My landings looked like a bouncing ball.  This plane now resides in the Wasatch County landfill.

Pacific Aero Models 25% Gee Bee Sportster: Wingspan 82”, Motor AXI 5330-18, ESC Jeti 90, Prop- APC E 20X11, Battery- Kokam 11S 3200”s.  Not quite as cute as the original Gee Bee but a lot easier to fly, it’s actually fun.  Weight is about 12.5 pounds and it has almost unlimited vertical.
