RE: Name me 3 Top Aerobatic 50cc ARFs
My top 3 would be ExtremeFlight, Aeroworks, and 3D Hobby Shops's 89" Slick. Both EF and AW have a nice Extra and both are coming out with an Edge. AW will be later in the summer. AW won't be at Nall but I believe they will still be offering some "Nall Specials"

I haven't really researched the model but I know I've had my eye on the new 50cc Wildhare Edge for awhile. I've got a feeling it would be a fine little airplane.

I like my Dietrich 260 but I would check out the pilot extra or yak very well put together lighter than the rest and you can get for a good price

I have not flown or even seen an EF300 up close but you won't hear anyone complaining about it on the forums so that has to stand for something, plus it just plain looks awesome. It is probably the lightest for its size.
Personally, I don't like Edges so I won't recommend any of them...

I havent seen any extensive flight reports on the Slick(50cc)would like to hear about it though. I have seen 30%WH Extra and flown the EF 88" Yak, both are very capable. They have to be at or near the top. The Double Vision was a home run IMO, but good luck finding one now!

RE: Name me 3 Top Aerobatic 50cc ARFs
Well let me tell you....I made my choice...I was at Joe Nall for 2 days and looked at a bunch of 50cc planes......although I am especially fond of Aeroworks, I settled on a Pilot Yak. The ARF looks good, comes with carbon fiber gear, tubes, and spinner....it looks as good as anything I have ever seen. One thing though, don't plan on reusing the box...the parts are wrapped in bubble, and then encased in liquid foam lined with plastic wrap, and then a cardboard box....a truck could run over it and not hurt it....Thanks for the replys WC

RE: Name me 3 Top Aerobatic 50cc ARFs
make sure you keep us posted on that build,"take some pics " I have been very interested in that plane just waiting for some money to losen up, you cant beat the price, especially with the carbon included. "Russian thunder" my choice but chief carry s a nice looking one as well .
