That's a fact. You gotta be prepared to lose a plane or two and some of your equipment, it seems, if you want to trust a chinese kid to do a craftsmans job.

So I thought about something to fly in it's place until it comes out and I've narrowed by decision down to two primary airframes, the H9 Extra 260 or the Aeroworks Extra 260. The Aeroworks would be a little bit heavier but would hold up better than the H9. What else should I consider with these two airframes? Are there any other airframes I should consider (please no AW Extra 300)?

Check out Pilot RC planes. Tony makes a good looking plane.

Im out of this, but man Bodywerks won several advanced class IMAC events in our region, and was selected for Tucson shootout in advanced class this year. All Im sayn is a pilot on that level has a good point of view especially since he owned both

I agree...Out of all the ARF's I would have to say that Aeroworks is the most durable. I have
had two of another manufactures aircraft and they were both junk. It is a kit build or a pro build for my next platform. Ever heard of WOOD is GOOD...I'm on my way Tony!!!!!!!!

Definitely!

I agree 100%. I have said this in a slightly different way a dozen times. Give a top Pilot your POS airframe and you will find out that anymore there really are not that many true POS planes.

Most of it is the Pilot. Some want, even expect a perfect plane for their style/needs.

I'd like to see an Invitational pilot show up to the Tucson Aerobatic Shootout with a GP Patty Wagstaff Extra and place in the top 5...any takers? Didn't think so.
I agree that burning fuel is the number one way to start flying better, but having the right tools to do any job is VERY important. It's like using a monkey wrench on a bolt instead of the approptiate size socket or box wrench...ya dig?

I agree. Thats probably not going to happen.
My comment was talking about similar planes.

Comparing these two in the poll is comparing very similar airframes.

Now, give that invitational pilot a H9 260, AW 260, AW Yak, Carden, Godfrey, Dalton etc etc and they will beat you everytime.

What if they zero a round because of a deadstick and I sneak ahead?


LOL JK obviously.
