Re: Need ideas for my DA-85
The 101" QQ Yak is on sale until Dec 15 for $749. I am trying to convince my wife I need one! Here is the link: http://www.qqaircraft.com/planes.asp...&s_PLANE_CAT=j
Aeroworks makes very good airplanes too. That 260 should be a very nice plane too.

Re: Need ideas for my DA-85
I just lost my AW 75cc Extra sunday. I had it almost a year. Awesome awesome plane!! I had the orginal red/white scheme from the very first shipment. Power was crazy!! I was running a MTW 110 rear exit can. It fit perfect in the supplied mount. I looked at the PAU Edge, QQ yak, and others. I decided to stick with what I knew. I called Monday to order another AW Extra but wound up ordering there new 85cc YAk! It has a little more wing area and a full exhaust tunnel for a Greev's tuned pipe among other things. Best part is a new red and white scheme!!

Re: Need ideas for my DA-85
The Quick Build part of the AW is awesome. Pre-hinged, pilot holes for the horns, canopy attached, etc...
FYI: my extra went in at a 45 degree downline from a mile high(dead stick/lock out). The plane looked really good from 20ft away. Had lots of internal damage but it was still in one pc. The motor box was solid as a rock after the crash!! All who saw it were really impressed!! We grabbed it by the wings and hauled it to the pits. |

Re: Need ideas for my DA-85
Oh dude sorry, a few months ago I tanked my extreme flight extra in a similar fashion, i think due to a battery brown out, nothing worse than watching it go in, its like getting kicked in the nuts till you pass out. |

Re: Need ideas for my DA-85
The AW 85 Yak has an awesome scheme!
Other suggestions would be the Wildhare 40% Giles, EF 110" Yak, QQ101, PAU 35% Edge, etc.

Re: Need ideas for my DA-85
I'm just finishing up the Troybuilt 33% 95" span TOC extreme Extra 260, which is on sale for $ 450.00. It's already set up to mount the DA85 which I'm using. It is a very nice ARF. Mine weighs 22 lbs dry. It would make a good choice. Stan Hagerstown, MD

Re: Need ideas for my DA-85
Hell yea go for the Q 101" yak. You have all the gear from the H9 suk right? If so it will work great on the QQ yak.
