Default AeroWorks 50 cc Yak or Extra?

Which of the Yak and the Extra from Aero Works 50cc class is considered the best. I like mostly 3D but also will do some IMAC flying this year.

I haven't flown the Yak but I can tell you the Extra flies and tumbles very nicely!

Tracks well and overal is a great plane.

My AW Yak flies great, that's what I like about some of the opinions on here, someone that has never had the plane but will bad mouth it due to what "OTHERS" say. BTW the color scheme suits me just fine and I guess that's all that matters, it's my plane!!!!! I would say go with the Extra, it is a bit lighter and will do both 3D and IMAC. Just an opinion from someone who has had experience with both if that really matters.

Your opinion would definately be better on the flying of the plane, like I said, I was only told how heavy the yak was, and I really like my 260! On the sceme.....Correction, IMO it is butt a** ugly

I think you'll be more happy with the Extra. Mine is as solid as a rock, but can be as wild as I want it to be and more! Heres a great review from the "other" website on the AW 50cc Extra. I've got the red version, with a DA 50. Anyway, its worth alook
