Just like last time... Pick a plane that you think looks the coolest. Almost any mass produced RC airplane kit or ARF is gonna fly good as long as they stay together and don't weigh the same as the full size.

Personally, I love the looks of the MX2s, and the CARFs fly real good.

Are you refering to a particular model or manufact/model ?
For ex: Joe Blow prefers a Carden 43% 260 over an Aeroworks 42% 260
or John Doe prefers yak over 260 or edge or whatever....

boy this is a loaded question. there is no such thing as the best. you can take what you think is a p.o.s. and put it in the hands of someone such as qq himself and he will fly the dog sh** out of it. so what do you think is the best . what do you personaly like in a plane and that my friend is the best you can do.

The best is generally the one that you practice with the most.

It's kind of funny that a lot of people are saying the best aerobatic plane is the one you fly the most. I agree with this 100% cause it's absolutely true. I have never gone out to the field after flying my favorite plane and putting together one that I don't feel as comfortable with. (Only if I HAVE to). I think the reason we fly one plane over another is because we feel more comforable with its handling than the others. I think this person is asking what these planes are? Well , I finally have good flying planes. The Wild Hare Extra 300 or 260, thier Gen 2 Edges of any sizes. Any size TOC Yak . The TOC 35% Yak is still the one I take out in windy conditions. Now thats comfort level!!!

Either the Deitrich Slick 540 106" or the EF 110" Extra 300. Can't make up my mind yet.

I'll help you decide. There isn't a 106" Slick from Dietrich. Only the 42% with a 122".
