Default EF 88" Yak versus H9/Carden

Any comments on the Extreme Flight versus the H9 Carden Yak?
Finally want to pull the trigger on a 50cc gasser.

Can't beat a plane from Extreme Flight, but I'm sure the H9 Carden Yak is pretty nice too.

Both fly great. IMO the EF is built much better and more scale looking.

I would not buy a H-9 Yak. Replacement parts are impossible to get. Quality? Don't get me started.

I haven't seen the H9 plane in person. It looks nice. I saw a capable pilot fly the EF...WOW. For sure a winner there....I bought the 110" version because I was so impressed with the 88" version.

I have the EF Yak and it is an awsome plane. Can't comment on the H9 as I have never seen one.

The one's I've seen have very poor paint quality and for some reason they applied the lighter color covering over the dark. You can see the dark color patches (tail checkerboard for example) through the yellow and that they were irregularly cut. Bascially just very sloppy. They fly very well and the structure seems sound but appearance counts for a lot and these just don't cut it. The EF kits I've seen and the one I owned were IMMACULATE.
