Default Which 100cc Plane next

Hi there all:

New year and I need a new plane
I have a Hanger 9 33% Extra 330 powerded by DA and want something that is more of a 3D plane. I don't do competitions and stuff but like to let it all loose.

I'm looking at Aeroworks Extra or Yak. Any suggestions????????

Thank you for the input. I must say the yak looks great and I got to see the katana at a meet a few weeks ago. There is no stock of the Katana in South Africa and so I will research the yak a little bit. Thanx guys

Comp-arf also has the 2.6M Extra 260...I have my eye on that one for a future E-project!

What about a Q.Q., Ulta rc, or A.M. yak? I flew a Q.Q. about a month ago, I think that's the direction I'm going

Comp-arf's are too expesive for me and would worry about breaking it too much (for now) In SA a H9 is about the third of the price and I prefere wood as I have no idea how to repair my rudder if it had to bee fibreglass(allthough I dream of a comp-arf)
