I'd go with the Extreme Flight Yak 54 all the way! It is big, light, strong, and flies awesome!

Just my 0.02

Havent ever had my hands on an Extreme yet, heard its nice though. My TOC/SD 40% Yak is top notch, and I would give the newer TOC line a look, a buddy has the 35% 260 and its really nice too. JMO

Default Re: pilot rc Yak vs extreme Yak

I am actually debating those two and what ended it was weight. Pilot 14.5 pds, Extreme flight 18 pds +, 4 POUNDS is night and day especially at 5000asl on a 50cc.

The extreme flight is huge and flys awesome.....but it sounds like a roided out 50cc with a pipe is the setup it needs. The pilot is light enough that a dl50 with a muffler would be more than enough power for serious 3d, and it is a much higher level of completion for an ARF. I know i really did'nt help much just a few things I based my decision on. 871

Holy smokes..Pilot RC is light. I'll take my EF Yak any day but I'm also at 800 feet. Also the DL-50 with the stock muffler pulls this 17#, 12 oz Yak around effortlessly. Pulls out of a hover no problem. But yeah, kudos to Pilot for making it so light. Can't even imagine 14#.

I agree that it comes down to the one that I want but nice to get other opinions.

I like the Pilot rc and the feed back that I have recieved about it so far.

I think that they are both great.

I've flown both the SD and the EF 50cc Yaks. Both fly very well. The new Pilot Yak is an upgraded version of the SD. The weight between the two is what makes the winner in this case and provides a clear advantage using a stock exhaust 50cc engine..

cyclone,

Were you looking at a 50cc or 85/100cc?

Although I have never even seen a Pilot's model in person but if they are indeed like a SD I can certainly comment, since I have flown just about all the Yak sizes they produced. And the same thing applies to Extreme Flight Yaks 47" to 110"...Wait a second there, I own most of them now...yep I do. It is almost embarrassing to admit but I have a hanger full of most every size SD Yak and Extreme Flight Yak made...as well as other brands including the 3.3 compy. Yep, I intimately know the Yaks. All I can say is that we are lucky to have such a great choice of models. They are all great models and you will not go wrong with any you choose. The differences are six of one and half a dozen of the other. Flip a coin...you are sure to win.

Now with all that said, one of the better deals on the planet right now is the QQ 101 at Chief...I am using all the restraint I can muster not to order a few of the QQ planes from Chief right now...Tough to say the least. Too many planes...not enough time!

"Which one would you want??????"...all of them LOL

Littlecrankshaft,

Well put.

I have restrained from buying the 101" since I already have the EF 110, but I couldn't restain from the Python. I called Chief and ordered one Tuesday.
