Default new airframe poll

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

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.

Default Re: new airframe poll

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.
