So, i just got a CHP extra with DA 100. Its a little rough around the edges but is a great flyer, its doing its job well. (teaching me about big flying). Now its time to think of a new airframe for next year. I want to compete in IMAC as well as freestyle, but i can't decide what i want, QQ Python, QQ 102 yak, H9 260. Or any other planes you think are good

The new Extremeflight yak looks nice.

If you're thinking about the Python or Extreme Flight Yak you might want to get on the list, I think they are both going to be in high demand and may sell out fast.

I don't own one but have been very impressed with the Dalton 260s that I've flown. If you're looking for an ARF I recommend the Aeroworks Yak over the QQ. Have flown several of both makes and the Aeroworks seems to be a bit more predictable in rolling manuevers and verticals. The QQ does seem to snap a bit better though. None of these Yaks were mine so it could be coincidence that the setups the owners had on the Aeroworks fit me better and that's why I like 'em more. I am not a big fan of Composite ARFs. I've flown several of their 2.6 and 3.0 meter Extras and all but one seemed incredibly unstable in the yaw axis. The one that I liked the most (but still not the best thing I've ever flown) was a 3.0M that had half of the rudder counterbalance cut off and fixed to the stab. The one 2.6M Yak that I got to wring out didn't impress me much either but it was really heavy. Just my opinions. Not trying to start any fights over airframes/ manufacturers.
