The QQ 85" is just a little out of my price range and transportation size. I really like the 73-78" wing spand planes.

I have the 73" QQ yak, and the quality is AWESOME.
I was going to put a 26cc gas motor into it, but changed my mind...
I'm slapping a webra 1.20 2 stroke into her, should be a feather and BALISTIC!

Should fly in around 1 or 2 weeks...

I'll give a full report!

Just Another option.

I bought the 30% BME YAK 54 and it flies awesome.

It also has a great quality construction, it is very light, has more wing area so it flies very light. It is great for IMAC flying and awesome for 3D.

I didn't like the covering scheme, so I boght the ARC version ond covered myself (I'll never do that again).

This airplane had really helped me to improved my 3D skills.

Bottom line, this is another great option.

QQ YAK, I think just for the simple fact that any question you have is very quickly answered on this forum and RCU by Reza. There support makes me want to continue giving them business!

You definitely check out the Aeroworks Yak 54 as well - high quality hardware, and very fast building time. I have the 75cc and it's awesome.

I'm not sure of the exact weight, however the motor(Fox 4.8[79cc]) weighs five pounds bare as opposed to the three pounds of the DA 50R which most folks fly the plane with.
