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.

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

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.....
