PAU and QQ aircraft

[Oilsands]

I am looking at purchasing a new plane (100 cc size). I have a H9 330L Extra's 33% now with a 80cc, I am leaning towards on of the following: Ultimate's, Yak's and Python's. Wondering if someone can give me some feedback on two manufactors, PAU and QQ? What are thier planes like to build, how do they fit, how do they fly, what is the service like. I have some feedback from a friend on the QQ Python and have seen it fly as well as the service that he received from QQ. But looking for more. I am not looking to start a debate on which is better, just would like some info on the planes they sell from users experiences. Thanks.

Oilsands, not trying to get offtrack, but greathobbies stocks aeroworks and is also getting Dietrich. Makes it really convenient in Canada! The new AW Yak scheme looks great (I didn't like the original). I love the way my AW 260 flies.

You know the QQ Yak is proven to fly well. Have you also considered the EF 110" yak? That's the Yak I would get.

I have also seen QQ fly the python in Victoria airshow. It is good for 3D and does awesome sloowww rolling circles, but I still prefer the monoplanes overall.

I know PAU personally. They are in North WA so very close to Canada. The planes are on par with AW as far as construction and things already done. They also come with top of the line hardware. Service is excellent as well.

I have the 36% PAU Edge. Service is great, very happy with how I have been treated. I would not hesitate to buy from them again.

Thanks Sprice50,
I still have them in mind as well from the last time we talked. Just trying to get as much info on different manufactures and researching for prices and shipping costs. There are a lot of good planes out there and some good manufactures with good support, and some that are lacking in different areas (not from experience but from reliable sources).

Anyone else care to share thier experiences and give some feedback on the above planes and company? Thanks to those who have already done so.

I have a PAU Ultimate and it is a great flying airplane. And for $649.00 I think it is the best deal on the market. You will have to buy hardware for the plane. It does come with some but most of it went in to the trash. I still don't know what size bolts those were. There customer service is second to none. I fly mine with a DA-100 and it is a great combo. The flying wires are a pain but I am living with them. If you want to stop everyone at the field buy the ultimate.

[Oilsands]

What type of flying do you do? Is there a lot of pitch or roll coupling?

A new one sold on rccanada less then 2 weeks back for $550! Would have been great for you.

[Oilsands]

Trouble is most planes being sold are for local pick up only and most are down east.

There was some coupling with the rudder when I would go knife edge, but it was easy to program that out. The only problem with this plane is that it is covered in Monocoat. I hate Monocoat. The plane looked perfect coming out of the box. Not a wrinkle on it. But then it was like the covering was goin to fall off of the plane. It took some time to get the wrinkles out. I still have some that I just can't seem to get ride of. I would never not buy a plane because of covering issues but I just wanted to let you know. It truely is one of thhe best flying planes i have ever flown.

[jdearduff]

I am sorry I only got to half of the question. I mainly fly 3D. But this plane lands and flys like a trainer if you want it to.

i had a pau edge 540 and the quality of construction is top notchand they build light and fly great.

[Mithrandir]

Can't go wrong with a ACE/Thunder Tiger YAK or Extra...
QQ 101 Yak or Python is good too....
Dietrich has a good flying extra as well.

I have two Aeroworks Yaks, both fly well and the construction is great, the QQ planes are also a good choice, you would not be disappointed with either one. Also I have heard good things about the PAU planes.
