Re: Yet another, Help me Decide Thread!!
You really can't go wrong with any of the planes you listed. We have a lot of great choices now.
I'm partial to Extreme Flight planes myself. Chris is a great guy and he goes the extra mile with his planes and service.
The 88" Extreme Flight Yak makes a great first gas plane. They're a very strong airframe. I helped a guy at my local flying field transition to gas with one. He loved it. He had been flying less than a year and he had no problems with it. It's a very capable plane and is very docile at slow speeds also. One of the best features for someone new into gas is the landing gear. The yak's landing gear is great. It flexes enough to absorb those not so perfect landings and it's sits tall enough that you have plenty of prop clearance when it flexes. The same guy pancaked it from about 10' and it just bent the gear and broke his prop. After we straightened the landing gear and put a new prop on it, he was in the air again.
