The new FuntanaS™ .90 3D ARF was designed exclusively for Hangar 9
Sebastiano Silvestri. He based the FuntanaS on his highly successful KatanaS TOC design.
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
scheme and factory-painted parts such as the cowl and wheel pants complement the performance perfectly.
