First Gasser Poll

[3D_Kid]

Which would be a better first gasser? the new Hangar 9 Extra 260 35% or the QQ Yak 86" 50cc? I really like the looks of both, but one would cost way more than the other, but money isnt really an issue. Thanks for opinions and thoughts

If money is not an issue, you should compare two 100cc planes. If you're going to spend the money you might as well go with the 35%. Also give the aeroworks 35% a look.

money is and isnt an issue its kind of difficult to explain, but i have some money and some other relatives do as well so the might help out which would into turn get 1 new plane after i sell all glow stuff.

I jumped into the 35%'ers and Im glad! You learn a LOT from working with the 35%er which would make the transition to a 40%er that much easier. They also fly better than the 30%er

Have you considered a used plane? You will spend less and once you grow into the plane you can sell it, recoup more money and then go to a 40%.

Whatever plane you get, make sure you dont skimp and it gets set up well

Don't forget the issue of vehicular limitations (if you have any) for hauling whichever one you choose!


If anyone is hauling a 35%er in a Pathfinder - Please post a picture!

i would have to vote the bigger the better. I have the 85 QQ and i have to say its amazing. i have a H9 showtime and they seem to know what they are doing so i think your pretty safe either way.

[brandonduley]

the 260 is a sweet looking plane, saw it at toledo, if money aint an issue i say you go with that extra

I don't know, I had a friend that crashed two aeroworks 35% yak due to wing failure in a snap roll.

I did my first gasser as a 50cc yak, learned alot, and didn't spend a large amount. I then went and bought a 4yr old 40% carden. there's no wrong way of getting into gassers, but if you want a 40%er shortly down the road, I would go from 30% to 40%.

If you don't have all of the money yourself I would think that a good 50cc plane would be your best bet. There are many awesome flying 50cc planes currently on the market and if you ask which is the best one you will get 10 different answers. Something else that you can think of is a 33% plane. There are several out there right now that are great flyers and you get a little bit larger plane but can stick with a single cylinder (80-85cc engine) which saves you some money, making the 33% not too much more $$ than a 30%.

good luck with your decision
