one plus I thought of for the comp-arf is that I LOVE flying with smoke on... no peeling covering from smoke oil.... I just don't know!!!!

I had a SD35% yak with DA100, super 3d plane, but the only problem I seen is parts availibility, I realize you don't need to by a plane for a crash if you know what I mean but the inevitable will happen especially if you push the envelope enough, ironically enough my crash was due to engine overheating in a hover, but now (due to parts availiblity and customer service, and just a great flying 3ding airframe) I am going with the Extreme Flight Yak 110",,

SD have been bought out by Thunder Tiger but TBM are still selling them.

I had a 33% SD yak and loved it right up to the point where I rekitted it.

I have owned 3 EF Yaks and they are great to. I think TT and EF are about the same price. I like the colour schemes on the EF better. Use to have more choices with SD but now TT only offers 2 schemes.

Tuff call, both fly great. Never had a Comp-Arf but herd from friends more dificult to repair CF then wood.

Dos Comp-Arf offer a Yak 54? I thought they just had the Yak 55?

I've never heard of pilot-rc.... are they supposed to be better in some way than say TOC-Xtreme that troybuilt already carries? I'm not sure if I want to look at new planes right now, was looking more at used, but seeing what's out there is always good..Just not sure if I want to put down $4500 or so for a brand new plane.
