Neither

H-9 260 or a EF Yak

jdracing3 · 04-27-2009, 03:31 PM

EF 110" Yak!!

MikeC3D · 04-27-2009, 05:28 PM

Of the two choices you have given, I would say the new 260, it will fly better precision than an edge, and they both are 3D beast's if the pilot is capable. I have flown the 260 and I like it, Ive flown edges, but not the PAU, I like edges to.

Sly3D · 04-27-2009, 10:44 PM

Here are my picks:
1. H9 Extra 260 35%
2. EF 110" Yak
3. QQ Aircraft 102" Yak
4. Great Planes Eagle 580
5. Krill KatanaS (if you got the money)

I've got the PAU Edge and it ROCKS!!! At the recent fly-ins I've been to, people all come up and comment on it and it's flying abilities.

The Pearl Ultracote colors really look sharp and help it stand out from the others at the field.

Top shelf hardware INCLUDED! (carbon fiber wing tubes, Dubro hardware, and PAU's AWESOME control horns!) No making trips to the Hobby store to upgrade!

PAU's LEGENDARY customer service!

This plane (and it's big brother 42%) are PROVEN WINNERS at numerous IMAC contests in the higher classes! (can you say precision?)

The PAU Edge does it all in the 3D arena as well: rock-solid harriers, high-energy tip spins and blenders, KILLER walls, and little to no knife-edge coupling.

If you were to have to pick the one airframe that does it all and very well, this is THE ONE!!!

SO.......what's the verdict, whiteknuckle?

Regards,

Astrohog

id have to go with the edge also. I have one and it flys great and its a 3d machine. and does the imac sequences very well. the price is right and you get all the top quality hardware.

whiteknuckleairlines · 04-28-2009, 08:47 AM

I think at this point I am leaning toward the edge....

MikeC3D · 04-28-2009, 11:01 AM

I would imagine that unless your at the top of the unlimited ranks, anything you choose will fly just fine. Pick the one YOU like the looks of and burn some gas.

Have you looked at the Pilot-RC airplanes? They are similar to the TT 260, but improved and you can get parts for them. Just my two cents........

BBLIZZARD · 04-29-2009, 11:49 AM

i have flown the tt 260, nice plane. that being said i own a carden 35% 260 3d's as good as my qq 101 yak hover's & harriers are easy very light feeling plane. depends what your after the edge is a great 3d plane but not quite as smooth in the imac stuff as a 260. 260's do everything well, knife edges little or no coupleing, very stable at low speeds. atleast with my carden this is true. didn't get to fly te tt 260 (a friend's plane) enough to put it through the paces.

For me its simple. TT TOC planes have changed hands every 6months or so. Parts for the older versions are hard to come by. If the company can't run itself correctly enough to stay in business then how will the customer support be? TT has done ok so far from what I hear but with my $ its not worth the risk.

PAU customer service and spare parts are top notch and the planes fly great.

He has the new version it is a 107 incher, this one that you linked us to is a 102 inch, therefore it is the old one. I say go with the plane that you will be able to get parts for. No i am not bashing TT. I own two of their planes and many helis! And have 2 friends who are sponsored by them. I have nothing bad to say bout them, but i am just saying you should go with PAU because you will probably be able to get parts easier for it. Or you can wait for the new 107 inch version to come out! That would be worth the wait! Good luck with the decision. Have Fun. Take Care!

We will have parts for the 102 for a long time. And the 107 flies great
