Default Imac plane to suit 3w 210xi B2 TS CS

Trying to work out what would be a good airframe to suit this motor. Was thinking 3.3m comp arf yak or 3.5m extreme comp edge 540. Any other ideas would love to hear. Cheers.

I had a 3.3 CompARF Yak on a 3W 200TS. With the right prop it was a very good combination.

I have no experience with the Exteme Composite Edge. I have seen some threads on the FG that indicate it finishes out sort of heavy.

I'm sure my YAK weighed in the high 40's

IF the 3W 210 twin is RELIABLE and it puts out the power it should for it's size...

The Composite-ARF 3.3 meter Yak 55SP is THE PERFECT airplane !

I have seen them with ZDZ 210's and there is NO lack of power.
Also with a 3W 212 4-cylinder that had pleny of power wand was reliable.

I have had and seen 3.3 Yak's on DA-150's and they weigh 42-45 lbs typically with the DA-150. They have GOOD power with the DA-150 on tuned pipes. Many complain they can't do unlimited upline snaps with this combo though. (This problem is solved with the 200cc engines though !) I don't know what the weight is with a 210 or 212 though.

i love my compy yak!!!! it is the straightest arf i've had. i have literallly zero mixing in mine. i bet the edge will have a little more of a coupling issue than the yak. just my $.02.
