EF should revise theirs prices !!
Fair comment buddie. Although i still think the Ef looks great and flies better without the need for the dreaded Sfgs. If only price wernt a issue we'd all be flying 50% birds.

EF 88 is not a 102", it is just a 50cc class plane !

Im thinking you cant of flown the 88"? It out flies all other 50cc planes hands down. The 88"s- Defo not just another 50cc plane. For a 50cc to compete with the same performance and size it shows how much airframe design has evolved.The 102" looks no different in size but the cost sure is

Have you considered the 3DHobbyshop's 85" Katana? It usually comes in sub 15 lbs on a standard 50cc setup. Hardware package is top notch, and though the plane is light, it is by no means fragile.

Here's a recent video I shot of it.

Thanks guys for all the responses. I picked up a NIB SD Yak for $300 from a local guy. At that price, the decision was sort of made for me!

The 3D Hobby Kat does look nice!

Out of these three planes in this poll. Buy the color scheme you like the best, cause they are all "Top Dogs".
