What 3D airplane for a DA 85?

So I have a da 85 and thinking of changing airframes. What do you recommend?

What price range are you looking at and the type of flying you prefer. There are a number of 35% airframes that are built fairly light and be decent performance wise with an 85. My next airframe will most likely be the 3 dhs extra 330sc should be in the 24 to 25 lb range if your are careful and would be good performance. Just my 10 cents

I'm not into precision, just having fun. I like throwing them around in the air. I love my 3dhs 89" slick, kind of ruined me.

I'm not really not into yaks. Yes it seems like a good deal, plus it is in driving range.

An 85 definitely won't pull like a 120, but it'll certainly haul around a 104in Slick. Just assemble it light and watch the CG.

I would be concerned with a Yak on the small size of the motor range as from what I seen the Yaks with their large cowl and drag fly slower per equal cc.
