Need Expert 35% IMAC Plane Help

budgetdude · 11-05-2006, 07:09 PM

Guys I smoked my 35% Extra today. Did a snap and the left wing exploded. If you were going to buy a new 35% competition arf what would it be?

Shawn Berkheimer · 11-05-2006, 07:14 PM

Aeroworks 260QB , Comp Arf Yak 2.6 or the QQ yak gen2

Shawn

If it needs to be an ARF, then I would have to agree with Shawn. I did have reasonable success with a 2.6M compArf 330 also.

sweetpea · 11-05-2006, 07:39 PM

Ditto in that order

casey g · 11-05-2006, 07:44 PM

sorry for your loss

youngflyer · 11-05-2006, 09:51 PM

the 2.6 yak flies very well and slows nicely on downlines!

Luiyo · 11-06-2006, 06:57 AM

Sorry about your loss man. Tha Dalton Extra 260 35% is the one you need. Is really bad ass plane for everything you want.

exeter_acres · 11-06-2006, 07:47 AM

that would be awesome... When did they start ARFing?

notorious_benny · 11-06-2006, 08:02 AM

My vote would be for the 2.6 Yak.
Mine was a fantastic IMAC model, very little coupling, nice slow downlines, perfect vertical down and uplines.
The only reason I sold it was to finish my 3.1 metre.

Bear in mind that it is a power hungry airframe for the higher classes. I ended up installing a set of KS 1060 pipes on my DA100 in that airframe, excellent for Intermediate and above.

Well buddy I didn't realize that he was looking for an ARF. In that case the Comp Arf 2.6 Extra 330 is a good plane for Imac. Nice throws in the ailerons and elevator for smooths movements.

Plane Wrappers · 11-06-2006, 08:45 AM

The 2.6 Yak with that combo ( KS & DA100 ) is definitely the way to go.
Tons of power and still slows WAY down for landing.
Comp-Arf has a container arriving on the 11th.
Too bad my 3.3 wont be in it. Next container due 1 week of December.

budgetdude · 11-06-2006, 08:08 PM

The dalton is awesome though isnt it and I am pretty sure you can get tony to build an arf if you want. My budget doesnt allow for that however. The fixer upper QQ yak for 600 is interesting though. Thanks for all the ideas guys. Still processing.
