Wild Hare's new Extra 330 is pretty nice. Maybe a pound heavier than the Airwild but seems like a nice ARF for $429.

Any of the Wildhare rc 28% planes, I have the Extra special, awesome in IMAC and in 3d,,,

Chip Hyde Double Vision! Harrier's are way too easy with it, it's almost like cheating!! Great 3D Bird and real gentle to practice your 3D on. Will do almost anything you can throw at it & it is easy to grow with.
Also a big bonus is that it is 'lighter' than most of the 50cc arsenal out there!
Now I just need to get mine done so I can go fly it!!

[bodywerks]

Anything with 82+ inches of wing, 1300+ inches of wing area, and a flying weight of under 17 pounds. So far, the best bet is the Airwild Extra - it is the largest and lightest of the bunch.

[Fearless Flyer]

Any brand of 50cc plane is a good choice. Just choose what fits your style. I prefer the Aero-Works QB series, Wild-Hare and Air wild planes, but that’s just me.

QQ 85" Yak flies great and ligth. Good for Imac and 3D.

[MrKiwi]

QQ yak, great plane....

[JimC-MD]

I just stuffed one in a GP Cap 232. It is like having a 79 inch foamy. Not a dozen flights on it yet, but it shows great promise.

I appreciate all the recommendations. Yes the QQ yak looks awelsome. The Yak 54 QB also looks awesome. I believe I will make a decision between those 2.

I would go with one of the aeroworks QB kits ( I like the yak personally) It is the most complete kit for your money. Being your first gas plane alot of the guesswork has been taken care of as far as hardware goes etc. Another one to consider would be the AM 30% yak although I think the QB has the edge

I have the QB Yak and it is one outstanding flyer. I have flown my buddies AM 30% Yak also and I think that the QB performed better than AM’s Yak. It seemed like it wanted to float more and track better than the AM Yak. (It could just be the way he had it set-up or something) Both are fun to fly but in my opinion I would go with the Aero-Works Yak.

What about the comp arf 2.3m Extra? Seen them fly and they look great. Loads of grunt with 50cc
