The Funbat

by FliteTest | April 20, 2011 | (18) Posted in Reviews

Did Chad forget to pay the heating bill? No, That's just Mr. Bixler's way of trying to circumvent his end of the bargain. 

This week we see Josh Bixler like you've never seen him before, as they discuss a combat plane, the FunBat from Bloodymicks.com. This simple, well designed foam plane is available in a variety of formats. 

The temptation to put this combat flyer to the test was too much for a few of the crew members. Losing one competition wasn't enough to keep Josh B down. 

Oh no, he decided to challenge his boss, Chad to a round of streamer combat. Watch this episode, to see what Mr. Bixler will be wearing next week.

I have always liked the swapable series. This is one of the best in my opinion because you can do the most stuff with it-but they're all great. you should make a build vid though

I already build a funbat with a HXT 24 gram and 8x4 prop, 1300 mAh 3S.
Flies smooth.
But I don't understand your choice of lipo. Your pulling 20A out of a 500 mAh 20C. This thing is maxed at 10A or 15A during 30 seconds.

I have a jpeg file that I have put together from the plans on yumpu. I was able to print it on 11"x17" paper, scale it 1cm:1in and the plane came out great. Email me @ tuckeraj.32@gmail.com if you're interested.
