RE: which is best?
I don't totally agree with Jumper. If you are able to pick up one of the Flatouts for a very cheap price, then go ahead with it. I haven't had most of the planes you mention, but I have had the RC Universe Bipe. It flew pretty good and I wouldn't mind at all having another one. The worst thing about Flatouts is the hardware that comes with them. Their hinging system is hard to do. But if you just throw that stuff out and just use basic hinge tape, then you can build one much easier. The foam that they make them from is also a little different. It's something similar to depron, but it ain't depron. You may even want to trace the plane onto 3 mm depron and build it from that. Whatever you decide, good luck!

One other thing that I might mention is that if you already have the setup that would work on a Flatout, then you might want to check out DW Foamies (dwfoamies.com). Their 38" kits are 6 mm depron. They may be slightly heavier than a Flatout, but I believe the same setup would be OK with it. Trust me, the dwfoamies 38" Yak54 is an awesome plane. It builds easy and flies great. I think the price is somewhere between $35 and $40.

Thanks.
Spiccoli, How do you think their 28" Yak would be? Do you think it would fly good outdoors? Just by looking at them I like them better that the flatouts. And I was just wishing there was a yak to. Would [link=http://www.horizon.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLB4302SJ]this[/link] be a good battery pack for it?

Yes, their 28" planes are very nice. I've had a 28" Yak and they fly great. I flew mine with TP 730 2S Prolites. The batteries you linked to would probably do just fine.

How is the Abellrc AdrenalineV2? I'm switching the electronics from a crashed one to a new one for a friend of mine and I kind of like the looks of it. He said that I could test fly it so I will know if I like the way it flies. One thing I like about it so far is that it has real hinges(there plastic and have pins holding the halves together)! He said that he really likes it.
