Default shock flyer planes..........

Which one? I have had 2 of the edge 540's and they were alright. I had the yak 54 and i didnt build it real good. I really want the extra 330, but i want to see which one you guys like. I dont want the yak even though its probably the best flyer because i have too many "yaks." Do you guys know how the extra 330 flys? Any videos.
thanx

Ive had nearly all the shockies and I reckon it would be a toss up between the yak and edge for the best flying one.

I've had them all and the Yak is definitely the best. It is a fantastic harrier/rolling harrier trainer. I actually like the superstar second.

Had the Edge, Yak and the Pitts. Yak is by far the best, then the Edge, the Pitts is so unpredictable its fun to fly but not if you want to practice anything!!!!!!!!!!

I got the Yak a while back and put a light setup in it. AXI 2204 and a Kokam 340 11.1V with HS 50s allround and a GWS Pico and it was awesome! I will probably get another one soon for my CustomCDR outrunner. just bought a new ESC for it and all i will need is some new lipos... probably some PolyQuest 300 11.1V. if I don't get the Yak Im totaly getting the Animal

I've just ordered a 330. Plan on using a axi 2208/34, jeti 18 speedie. Hitec 55 servos. I have 2 1050mAh 3cell packs but I think they maybe to big for it. What do you guys think?
