Which E Yak? QQ or Extreme flight?

[EVOL]

these planes look pretty similar. The QQ is a little cheaper but i have heard some bad things about it. Any new updates?

I havent owned any, but ive heard and seen bad things on QQ's. Go with extreme flight. QQ's has alot of flexing.

I have the QQ. I was so disappointed with the poor quality and massive flex it has that I haven't even flown it yet - and I finished it like 5 months ago! Go with the EF. It also has removeable wings if I am not mistaken, which is nice for traveling.

[bodywerks]

Heck. Just take a look at the right aileron in the pic you posted to get an idea how twisted and flimsy that thing is

[GremlinX]

Yeah, QQ is junk sadly. I fondled one in the LHS last year.. no thanks.

Evol,

I have 2 of the QQ-Eyaks and both are great. I've never had an extreme flight so I can't comment on that. I had the twist on the ailerons or control surfaces when I opened the box too but with a heat gun you can take care of that part. If you see any excessive flex anywhere that you think it hurts flying, apply a little super thin CA on the covering and it will become solid. Below is a very short video on mine. For $140 shipped with ESC,Motor and hardware I don't think you can find a better deal. The reason I have two is the first one I bought I paid $199 +$10 shipping and then they dropped the price to $140 and I found it a hard to beat deal bought another one as back up and despite all the abuse that I have done to the first plane, it's still flying and my second one still NIB. BTW, I am looking at both pictures you posted and the construction looks extremely similar. How much is the extreme flight?

I have the Extreme Flight Yak 55, I have no problems with mine,I added a strip of carbonfiber about 1/4 down the bottom spine of the fuse and she stiffened right up! Fun little plane.

That means you did have a little flex too. See guys just by looking at the construction of these 2 planes you can tell there shouldn't be a huge difference! I didn't do anything on mine except for a little super thin CA.

ok it looks like i will go with the extreme flight yak. i plan to go with the super combo with the ESC and Torque motor and put 4 HS-55 Servos with a 3s 1320 TP battery.

NOW.......what receiver are you guys using these days? i was thinking of just throwing a GWS micro Rx in like i use on my Shock flyer. any other suggestions for an Rx?

I have had both. The EF yak is 10,000 times better. The QQ control surfaces are all warped, even after 5 gos with a heat gun. The EF rolls much better too. You couldn't give me another QQ yak.

[plaster93]

I used the hitec electron 6,small and lite. JR has an even smaller micro receiver the size of your thumb.Also used a 3s 1500mah lipo,himax 2812-850,running a 10x4.7 apc prop.Hitec 55 all around.

I don't kknwo the QQ yak but i did had the Extreme flight Yak and it's great I flew the heck out of it and also crashed it a couble of time an it didn't breack!!! I coulnd't beliebe it it was stronger than Foam,,,, it's very quick and will not float much,,, i didn't like it at first but once I lernt to fly it I didn't want to fly the foamies anymore!!!!!,,, this will tork roll so easy!!!!!

[Pale Rider]

You guys think a Hacker 20-20 would be good in the EF?

[ericeffs]

I have both, the qq is the worst plane I have ever seen. The ef is excellent!

[airbike]

Don't forget the new foamy Yak from Airfoilz.com,

I've got about 25 flights on mine and it is a very nice flying plane. 40" span, around 17 oz AUW. Mine is powered by Axi 2212/26 but a Hacker A20-20L would be great.

Construction and design of this plane was very well thought out. Airfoiled wing and a thick laminated foam fuse. Rudder authority is awesome.
