Can't believe you didn't vote for EF.

I might have to drive up saturday and let you try out the 110's new rudder servo setup. It's wicked.

What the crap are you talking about? You could put a 101"QQ in with your other 59 planes and they would never know.

If anyone does have MAA's # please post it. I think it's something in the air in Texas and I must have caught it from Mark.

word of advice is to do the "opposite' of what T-bob tells you to do , and you'll do just fine. I think EF and Pilot RC make some awesome aircraft from what i have seen and read. You couldn't go wrong with either. But a 3-4lb difference??..........sheeesh , that's a no brainer for me!

I just don't believe peoples weights.

I had a TOC and it came in at 18 lbs. It was a great lookin and great flying plane. I know the first EFs were coming in at 16 (+-) so when someone I don't know says 14 lbs my first thoughts are they live in an area on this earth that gravity is somehow distorted or they are lying.

Oh and my D/A 100 spins a 28 x 10 @ 7500

Get the EF Yak or I likie the 300

T.Bob, my first Wildhare was 18+ lbs. Now I believe that they are well under that. Different generations of planes.

I agree Kissie

But a weight of 16-17.5 lbs is probably more realistic.

I had an EF 300 and I don't know how you could get it into 14 lbs range

And a D/A is 1/3 pound lighter than Brison 3.2 so that 14lbs is just a dream.

I know people that had the old EF yaks down to 15.5 lb with a DA50. Pilots are light, just got a 37.5% Yak with a DA170 on mufflers and it is 36.6lb RTF.

I have a carden 40 % extra 260 and 2 AW 33% Extras. I love the Yak and I am looking for a plane that will be 100% 3D FUN.

I have a ultimate by BME set up with a 3w 106 and that is the motor I will be using. Selling the ultimate dont really like the plane as much gust my opinion.

Thanks for all the input guys.
