Default 3D Small Giant!

Hi Folks:

I need your help for choose my next plane. I ´m flying a Twist 60 but I wanna a good 3D and I´m thinking in a good "small" gasser.

The next planes are some of my favorites:

- Aeroworks Extra 260 for a 50 cc
- Aeroworks Yak 54 for a 50 cc
- Quique Somenzini Yak for a 50 cc
- Ultra RC Giles for a 50 cc
- Hangar-9 Extra 260 for a 50 cc

The links:

www.aero-works.net
www.somenzini.com
www.hangar-9.com
www.ultrarc.com

If you know about a better choice please post, I need to know which is the best!

The Giles. I like this plane for the weight and I think the Performance is good.

The Aeroworks Extra. I really like this plane, is pretty. But, What you can say about Performance?

And the QQ Yak. The name says all


And please, sorry the bad english, I try to do it better

Regards from Mexico!

cant go wrong with aeroworks, or quique, I dont know anything about ultra. The 260 from H9 in IMO is a bit small for a 50, but is a bottle rocket with it

I'm flying the H9 260 atm and love it. haven't really 3Ded it much but it flies pretty damn nice.

However if I had to do it again (And had the money) It'd be QQ Yak hands down. I'm getting one next anyway


Just going by what I've read and seen in videos. That inverted elevator QQ does is pretty convincing for me.

Take a look at the new Wildhare 84" Extra 300 or Edge 540T Tom's new stuff is really good. It is a downsized version of the 40%er I fly and I love it. I have not flown the 84" but have seen one fly and it looked good. They are also among some of the cheapest 50CC planes as well.

If you want it for 3d do not get the hangar 9 extra. Get the one with the most sq inches.

I have flown the h9 260 with a 40cc and it flew great, more of a beginner imac plane than a 3d trainer. I here the aw 260 is great, and i have flown a aviation models yak and I liked it a lot cause its heavy and doesn't get blown by the wind too bad. WH 540's are nice, but I have never flown one. Do with what you can with the twist, I had the yellow twist 40, it was the first I hovered down low. It really tamed down my inputs cause it does really weird stuff when you put the sticks in the corners.

Hi all:

Ok, thanks for give me your opinions, probably I will get the QQ Yak, I think it has the best Performance, but in Mexico it is expensive (aprox. 795 Dlls )

Wessco: I really like to fly profiles, but I wanna get a bigger plane, in the case, my first gasser I have a Mojo 40

Thanks and Regards from Mexico!

I second the Aerotech Yak posted by Pro1Foam. It is a very good plane and a DA-50 is perfect for it.

The Ultra RC isn't a 50cc plane, it's perfect with a 26cc, so probably not what you're looking for. If I were in the market for a 50cc, I'd be looking at the Dietrich or Airwild Extra. The deitrich just because it looks so cool, and has great specs, and the airwild because it's about as light as a 50cc can be whiel still being a full 50cc size airframe.

I have the old 85 QQ yak. I dont think you can go wrong with it. It is my first and i love it. Flies straight lines great and like to get down and dirty in the 3d department. The new 86 is supposed to be even better. Im not sure how
