Default What plane to buy?

I would like to get some input as what plane I should buy.
I am looking at Great Planes "Patty Wagstaff Extra 300" or Hanger 9 Extra 260.
Both are arf's. I have in my hanger now a couple of Hanger 9 kits, great plane kits and QQ Yak. Any in put would be helpful.

Most people in our club are recomending the Hanger 9 Extra 2670

I'm going to say neither. Both planes are on the heavy side if you power them with gas. Instead I'd suggest a true 50cc size plane. 84 - 87" span. There are lots of good ones available and more on the way. If you can afford a little more, go with a 33% 80cc size.

I have the H9 Extra 260 and I love it. I have a Saito 220 on it for power and it flies great. Very affordable also.
