My largest rc model was 50cc QQ YAK. For next season I'm loking towards 100" to 120" composite model. I fly 3D mostly and can not decide which model to choose.
I was looking toward Composite ARF 100" Yak-55SP, but than realised that it has same wing loading as 110" EF YAK, which is more than average wing loading on 100" balsa model. We have restricted space for landing on asphalt (it is not possible to land on gras), I do not have any problems with landing my QQ YAK, but guys with EF 110" YAK, Lembeck 88" Extra and Great planes 78" extra become sweaty on landing. And that is why I have decided that I must think over my purchase. I don't havy any preferences except that I do not want to buy Katana.
Which composite in 100-120" range model might be the best 3D perfomer ?
And which one will need less landing space, it's not main concern, but I will not have to go to more distant flying field, for me that's an advantage.
