I agree that it is better looking than the Yak, but not sure about that compared to the AW 260. I like the looks lof them both for different reasons I guess, and I like that you can get the AW in like 4 or 5 different schemes now.

I had a H9 260 and now have the EF110. Like others have said the H9 is an awesome plane but I also had problems with quality. It did seem to look like it had 500 flights on it when it only had 75. Now I have the EF and it's at least as good a flier as the 260 was. Quality easily goes to the EF over the H9. I would recommend the EF over the H9.

Why they didn't choose to use larger diameter hardwood dowling, which has a closer hardness/density to the plywood instead of the aluminum is beyond me. But it is a simple mod to do and I did it on my 42%er and it has been solid since - my 100cc 260 is in bad need of this mod now.

It looks like they're using ceramic to inhibit this from happening on their new 50cc Extra 300 and Edge 540 planes.

Yep. Looks like they wised up. It's actually just a plastic insert but better than wood to metal...

Mine has 50 flights and it looks like I've had it for years.Covering coming off I 'm on my second set of wheel pants and the way they mount the cowl sucks.The plane flys awsome though.There lucky it's more important to me how a plane flys and not how it looks on the runway.Oh ya gear plate came loose also.Over all though I like the plane and did I say it flys AWSOME.

H9 260 Just ask tim fulk, ben batts, Jamie hicks, and many others I have flown one as well and they are pretty amazing in both departments

Really? I have the new 50cc Extra 300 and it seems like it's ceramic.

[bodywerks]

That's weird. Seems like ceramic would be brittle...The ones I saw looked like plastic.

I agree, Quality varies from one plane to the next with hanger 9. Got alot of their stuff. Get one flawless and another total crap. Like friday afternoon buzzer beaters or something. Just need much better QC. Have EF stuff and quality is top notch. Waiting for the 123"
