Default which DW foamie

well i have this setup that is coming off of a Charger RC axilion
-Hacker A-20-20L
-APC 10x4.7
-CC pheonix 25
-Power Edge 1300 3S 30C
-Futaba 3114's
-AR6100

i ripped the front end off the axilion 3 seperate times on 3 different airframes.
so im looking for something that will last more than 5 flights.

my flying style is why i picked the axilion in the first place. i like doing both precision and 3D in the same flight and the axilion catered to this beautifully but for some reason just wont hold up. so from what i've heard the YAK is a great foamie that does 3D very well. but i was looking into the Gen X.

-will the Gen X do 3D like the YAK?

im pretty sure it will do the precision part

Go with the Yak. The GenX is a good plane, but the Yak will 3D a lot better, and it flies like an IMAC plane. Just my opinion though. You'd like them both.

another perfect option for that setup is one of the Airfoilz planes... the Yak flies very nicely.
