haha, the secret to the funnel is so simple, took me as i said months to figure out with trialls and errors, you need the tail to move exactly at the same speed as your airelon input. It is only a matter of getting the timing right between the two then all is simple you can make them uptight or wide. Start with one orientation, for me it was inverted tail down approach, once I got the timing right all other orientation followed so quickly in a matter of few hours. The first one took forever, but as I said you need to get the timing right first, look always at the tail and try to match it with the airelon as you make your circle, don't let the tail proceed or lag behind and you will be on your way buddy. If you do it right with this timing you can actually play with altitude by gowing gently up and down in the throttle/pitch input and maintain it whereever you want.
