My Wild Hare 260 has A BME 110 init and it is sick lots and lots A power, but its much lighter then the DA or DL 100. Even as light if not lighter then the DA 85 I would go with the 85 fur sure.

Not too worried about the extra weight. The 35% version has only about 200 more squares on the wing and weighs six pounds more. It is seven inches wider and two inches longer. With the same engine would cost me over $500 more.

The 33% would still have the same or less wing loading. I'm just wondering if the 100cc would fit in the cowl. I've seen plenty of 33% planes with a 100cc some had to cut out for one plug cap, some both and some none.

And if DL had a big single I would probably go for it instead.

I wish. According to their website it's $799. The 33% is $599. Shipping will be about $75 more on the 35% plus two more wing servos.

Unless maybe you know something I don't ? I've been looking at these two airframes for a long time comparing them to others and they look more like a 260 to me than the rest and cost less to boot. I've checked into three distributers on the schemes they offer.

A couple guys at my local field have the 35% Yaks and they are happy with them.

My LHS was listed as a ACE RC dealer so I have them pricing both for me. I would swap sales tax for shipping cost and maybe the 35% will be more appealing then.
