Better airplane- AW Yak 90-120QB or 30cc Sbach
I was considering getting a AW Yak 90-120QB untill I got a email from RedwingRC regarding the soon to be available Sbach 30cc.
Which one is better for 3D? I am an intermediate 3D pilot and currently have a Reactor 46 (w 75ax) and Phoenix Topstar (same as UCD60, Flip3D and H9 Frenzy 60 w fs91sii)

easy a-w yak 90-120 very well made cost more but you get more. model flys well under carrage do not fall to bitts on landing 5 stars for this plane lots of wood on this plane to put swichs fuel dot i fly this model yak 90-120. global redwing cost less but very weak most of the wood has been taken out no wear to put swich fuel dot and if you dont land it soft each time it will be your last. landing gear will snap and lots of damage it fly well but it wood at only 8.5 lbs as most of the guts taken out stay away off global redwing kits unless you land on smoth grass and soft landing every time

RE: Better airplane- AW Yak 90-120QB or 30cc Sbach
Ok. I am just re-phrasing the question. I have a Phoenix Extra 330L 62" and Yak 54 64". Both are 60-90 size but the engine I have is a 120ax. Based on what I saw in my collegue's case, he has put the 120 on the Phoenix Yak and with a 18x6 prop it hovers well at 40%. But it also has a lot of vibrations issues. The original engine mount in these airplanes is not so good, especially for these larger engines, so I will be putting in a GP large adjustable mount. So my doubts are
1) Should I open up the Extra and put a 120 on it. I have already strengthened whatever I could
2) Should I open up the Extra, get a 95AX for it and hope that it is not underpowered.
2) Should I buy the lot more expensive AW Yak QB and put the 120 on that

I am contemplating between a 120ax and a dle20 for the Yak. I have a 120ax for a Funtana, so I will have to purchase the DLE. I am holding out purchasing the engine as the gas engine technology is still evolving. Regards to the airplane, cost of ARFs all over is rising, so I will get the Yak soon.
