i cant say something abould the old one, but the new one is very good.
nicer scheme, and place for a can. sfg mounting.
i use this plane for competition and it goes very well, you have very much time because it goes very constant, even in down figures it goes very slow (not like extra or other planes) -very cool.
(yesterday a friend -Peter Wessels- flew my yak through the DMFV Expert F3A Program and liked it -)
in 3D its also awesome -even without the sfgs its absolutely stable in Harrier- knife Edge flights in slowmotion like a shocky -wow ! you can compare it with a schocky -really ! - never had a plane in this class which was going so well -less weight makes it possible.
