Help! Aeroworks Extra260 or Precision aerobatics edge?

Right guys i need some help...........im looking to treat myself to a new 50cc'er i was looking at the 28% krill kat, but i have heared some bad press and its very expensive for what you get

Cheers

I have both the 50cc and 100cc AW Extra 260 and they fly great. They go together very quickly and the quality is top notch. I have nothing negative to say about either. If all things are equal, the fact that you can get one in the air in 12 hours should end the debate.

I had a Precision Aerobatics Edge a few years ago and it flew great. It's pretty small for a 50cc-sized plane but it can be built in the low 14lb range with a DA or ZDZ 50. The power to weight was borderline ridiculous! The AW 260 is a great flying plane and a bit bigger (and heavier). I had over 100 flights on the Edge before I sold it and it still looked brand new so they definitely hold up well, even for being small(er) and lightweight. It really depends on what you're looking for as they are quite different.

If you want just 3D, maybe the Edge is a slightly better choice.

If you wanna fly some IMAC, the 260 would be a much better choice.

I would go with the Aeroworks. Excellent quality and finishing for an ARF. I have the 35% and it flies really good.

the PA Edge is a great plane for imac, and it was really designed for precision aerobatics in mind, it is very light at 13.5-14 lbs, e-flightline did some really good videos of kyle flying it also, and i did a video of it you can see all the videos on the edge page
