Mr. Mercury, Let me first say that I like your style. Secondly, your taste in beer. It happens to be a favorite in the EF hanger. Those boys in Oregon definately know what their doing. CHEERS...

There is only one sure fire way to choose between these planes and thats to flip a coin.

Fashon Police eh Im sure some folks just have plain Bad luck with some brands of engine. Theres always gonna be a friday afternoon special that sneaks through quality control reglardless of brand. Sure some manufactureres have a better brand name than others, (Fashionable engines .com) But ive seen salesmen change thier story on whats a better lump for the job- because they no longer sell the fashon engines? Storys like-3w are far stronger due to better crank bearings etc after they no longer sell Chip hyde selected Da's. Fashion is a weapon to control the mind

I'm suprized anyone would mention Chip Hyde's name without putting a few choice adjectives in front of it.... seems like he left a lot of folks hanging with the planes.

That is AWSOME. I agree. There is no end to what you can do with that plane. Mine is a little less complicated, but I love it.

SIMPLY, A BEAUTIFUL THANG!

I think it's a "guy thing" to dig the visual. I believe we are hard wired to get excited over curves, colors and -- well furry things too!!

What kind of servo's did you throw in your EF Yaks?

I'm very intersted in both of these planes. QQ has the name and all the pro's use it. The EF Yak has very stylish apperance. So i'm my oppinon they are a very close match.

But i'm personaly leaning toards the EF now because it's a smidge bigger and has a great apperance.
