Default Looking for advice on 3D/IMAC plane

A friend of mine who lives overseas would like to buy a 50cc plane but his options are basically 3:
Great Planes Yak 54 and Hangar 9 Cap 232 and the GP Patty Wagstaff.
They are basically 2 meter planes and perhaps a bit small for the DL50 he already has but that's how it is.
He has not seen convincing video evidence that would tip the scale one way or the other, so it would be great to hear real stories of pilots that are actually flying these birds.
Thanks in advance.

None of those 3 planes can compete against 50cc planes from Aero-Works, Extreme Flight, Wild Hare, and QQ. However, if he has to get one of them, the H9 Cap 232 would be the best because it is bigger and has more wing area than the other two.

As dubd said, those really dont compare to Extreme Flight, QQs, and Wild Hare. Id definitely go with a QQ 86" Yak though if he could pick something different.

I totally agree with both of you but he has to choose from those 3 planes. Importing something from the US or China would be kind of costly due to size. The Cap has a bigger wing but the Yak has the looks IMO. The PW may not not be able to do 3D at all, but it looks decent as a pattern plane and it's really IMAC legal.
