hmmmm, man i really like that. for 125 bucks i say its worth a shot. man you kinda got me hooked. look at it, its got airfoiled elevator and rudder,plug in wing, thats not bad at all. for a saito 82 that would be badass

I personally would go with the yak because it is lighter and is all wood construction but that is just me. The extra looks cool though but I don't know how either of them fly.

[pitviper51]

its a big delemam at this point... their both about the same price... after reading alot of bad things aboutthe non upgraded yak, im leary .. but the airfoil tail and cool paint job onthe extra,... .. ahh crap.... if anyone knows of other 50-60 size planes link me, i want to keep my options open..

What kind of problems have you heard about the yak? I am curious because I am going to have to replace my old funtana40 soon.

[pitviper51]

i think the old one had wing mounting issused, where the wing would slide off.. or the peg would break and make the wing a giant ailiron... and stab mount was weak.. but the new improved one i havent heard anything,..

im looking at the pics of this plane i was wonder if itll have enough tail surface for hovering???? it looks more like a scale aerobat or presision flyer which is fine i was just wonder what people though

I heard the same thing about the Yak. The rear fusealge is fragile where the horizantal stab runs through the fuesalge. Haven't heard anything on updates. I would stay away from the yak until you find out for sure. Maybe consider the Fliton Extra 330.

yea, but that 124$ is soooo nice heheheh i would like a lil bigger plane for the 82 i wanna make sure i can keep it cowled in if possible... this is always so hard....
