I am going to buy a new 100cc plane and I am torn between a QQ python and a Aeroworks Yak 54. This will be my new IMAC plane for the next couple of years. Witch one? I love yaks, and I love biplanes. I just don't like putting them together.

I've got the QQ Python, & I would recommend it highly. I think it would do great at IMAC. It really draws some nice lines.

How long have you had it? And how well is it holding up?

dubd · 01-26-2009, 11:54 AM

For IMAC you should consider a monoplane. As much as I love my QQ Python, it is not my choice for precision flying. It freestyles/3Ds like a champ though. I've had mine for nearly a year. 150 flights later and it is as good as new.

Get Aeroworks YAK, better for IMAC. imho

Mithrandir · 01-26-2009, 01:09 PM

IMAC? Which one has the longer tail? That is your answer.

Well that would be the Python.

dubd · 01-26-2009, 02:09 PM

For IMAC the decision is easy... how many bipes do you see flying in IMAC competitions? Even the H9 Ultimate is marginal for IMAC. I've seen a number of people start with the H9 Ultimate and switch to a monoplane the next season.

brandonduley · 01-26-2009, 02:14 PM

go with the Yak. it will fly precision much better than the Python. there's a local pilot that will only fly his python for freestyle routines and 3D. everything else is flown with the Yak

Barn-E-Stormer · 01-26-2009, 02:17 PM

I voted Aeroworks Yak on the poll. Why did you not consider a SD/TOC Yak?

If you compare the two, for the price the Aerowork is a much more complete plane than the TT TOC. I like a plane were the canopy is done at the factory.

Barn-E-Stormer · 01-26-2009, 02:40 PM

That's fair. The Aeroworks are great planes and you can get parts for them.
