Hey Randy,
Are you looking for a plane ready to fly? My buddy is selling a 3W Extra 330s Patty sceme. It's ready to fly and you would never think it has been flown by looking at it. You can find it on Aircraft International's website. Trust me this plane is worth every bit of money they are asking. Check out the demo video to see what the 330s is capable of. I just got the plane flown in the demo, the quality of 3W planes is top of the line.

mxcop, i'll take a look at your friends plane. thanks

extra260, i like the looks of the SD models 260 and 37.5 yak. i had a 35% toc yak and it was built very well just a little big and heavy for a 100cc engine for my taste but still a great airplane. how do you think the 260 compares to the yaks from SD models?

The Yak probably has the best aerodynamics of any I have seen - IMHO, of course.
Get the Aeroworks 100cc Yak, at 30.6 oz/sq-ft wing loading, it's among the lightest - for this size and build.

Aeroworks 100cc Yak 54 ARF-QB

i need some free test samples, it would make the choise easier to make. lol! there are so many good planes out there but in my area every one has 35% stuff as i have. without seeing them fly or flying them myself it is hard to make up my mind.

why-fly-high why do you feel the wild rabbit is better? i know it looks good and there smaller stuff is good.

adrian which do you think is better the yak or the extra?

Randy, I know of a 39% Aeroworls 300L for sale. the build quality on this is 100% and the airplane flys very true. If I was in need of a 40% I would be all over this one. He only wants 1,000.00 for it with wing bags. It has never been damaged and has less than 100 flights on it. If interested email IMACPILOT@AOL.com

I have flown a few 40% planes and think for the money the Wildhare is hard to beat. I really have no desire for different plane. When this one meats its end I will probably just order another one. I like it that much.

Considering I do not get any specials deals or price breaks as a consumer, let me share my opinion. I speak only in reguards to ARF's because that is what he prefers. I think JTEC makes the best looking 40% Extra going. I like everything about the deal including the tech help availability from Al and Kevin right her on FG. I would get this over the SD simply for the durability. I think the SD is a fine airplane but fragile.......
