QQ or AW

[Sukhoikid]

I might be purchasing a new airplane soon and stuck between a QQ Yak 120 or a AW yak 150cc. I have a DA150 and i plan to try to run grieves. I will be flying intermediate next year and I fly freestyle.

If you go with the Aeroworks QB you can have it done in no time at all. It would take a lot more time to put together the QQ. IMHO the AW quality of the QB planes is second to none and you can't go wrong.

The QQ on 150 and Greives flies just fine - no power problems.

Thought that might help - LOL

I think I'm going to spend a few days at Kevin's place before Triple Tree IMAC- flying in the day, building at night. So PLEASE vote for the easiest one guys!! LOL.

Kevin, check out my build thread on the aeroworks. This plane is AWSOME. The qaulity is like no other and I should have it together in no time. Also I called qq and they seem to say they wont have the 120" in for a long time. The qq would take more time to build and from what I here the aw flys better...

AW! AW! AW! AW!

How can you say this about a build of the QQ 120 ?
I built one and was surprised how fast I got it built. As for flying IMAC, the QQ is darn good at it. Can't judge the AW as I have never owned one.
As for power with a 150 on Greeves for the QQ, you would not be disappointed in the performance. Mine was unlimited vertical at 1200' above sea level.

let me just order a dalton kit rj and then we can have some fun. a dalton built in two weeks!!! lol. or lets say one week!

thanks for the help. i been looking at builds of both airplanes. I know my 102" qq took me just a week to build and I just worked on the plane at night.

QQ Aircraft, as a company, is an awesome company, but I am sorry to say that EVERY 120" Yak I have seen looks like ABSOLUTE CRAP!!! The build and finish quality is substandard, in general, and looks like it was built by a one-armed monkey when you put it next to an Aeroworks. And what's up with the cowl???? There are like 20+ screws that need to come off to remove it, and getting them all aligned when reinstalling it takes some finesse - and once installed, looks bulky with two rows of screws running down both sides of the cowl. One of the turtle decks that I saw was so wavy and distorted, it looked like how monokote looks over a ribbed wing with no sheeting. The stab fit was loose as well. Yes, the plane flies well, but by no means well enough to make you forget that the quality is crap. Add to that the fact that you still have to do the hinging and other 'old-school' ARF stuff, and your choice becomes pretty clear, IMO - the Aeroworks blows it away in every aspect. They are both about the same weight with the same equipment, so that factor is out the door, too, except QQ aircraft is FAR more accurate in their advertised weight. There is no way to finish out a QB Yak at 40 pounds or less if built with the recommended standard equipment and number of servos - expect 40.5-43.5 depending on exhaust choice and number of servos used, not 38-40 as advertised.
