Yak 54 · 11-11-2006, 10:12 PM

I'm in the market and I'm going to buy from Chief wich one does everyone else think?
I'm kind of leaning towards the Yak but haven't decided yet.

Go with the yak ! The 260 is a much smaller airframe

I own one of each. The Extra is 1 and 1/2 pounds lighter than the Yak and there is not a lot of size difference. I think the Yak may be preferable for IMAC, but as you get the Extra trimmed out it is definitely competitive. You won't go wrong with either one.

<======== This is the yak that I would get.

GremlinX · 11-12-2006, 10:31 PM

I have the Extra, and it is not that much smaller, if any... I like both actually.

caurimare · 11-13-2006, 12:27 PM

I would say you can go wrong with either one, I just like the yak better i have it with a da-50 what a great combination.

I just received my AM 30% Yak. Im very impressed with it, cant wait to get it in the air.

For IMAC go the extra 260. For 3d go the Yak. The extra is a little lighter and thus does much better in vertical imac manouvers.....
