Your post, without any warrant, simply tried to imply that EF has copied the Hyperion or at the least is having the factory put his name on the same plane...

No, I just said they are identical... Which has just been confirmed by Extreeme Flight.

Funny though, if EF got exclusive on the Yaks, that they did not get the first production batches.

I am going flying the 74" Hyperion/Haikong Yak tomorrow. The latch mechanism is really great, as it's an electrified version it makes access to batteries real easy (by the way the unique latch mechanism is on the 55" Hyperion aswell). What I remember most from my last fligh with it, is that flatspins are real sweet on this model - very flat.

Status: offline 		I for one appreciate the honesty and excellent customer service that Extreme Flight offers its customers. I have never understood the individuals that make statements on the forums that question who designed what and were it was built. Simple economics dictate that a few factories in Asia produce the vast majority of ARF planes available on the market, therefore in order to maximize sales in the global market place different versions of the same basic designs are sold under license by various companies. I personally choose to support companies like Extreme Flight based on there location here in North America and good customer service. Its funny but if you go to any automotive event you can here the same arguments only that people are arguing about Ford vs Chevy etc.
p.s. I am also not a real big fan of Yaks but am waiting for something like a maybe a 2m Funtana from the guys at Extreme Flight.

thx Dave

Status: offline 		i agree about chosing a brand you want and using them, i am very happy with ef, after getting my 68 last year, i called chris about the cowl having some minor cracks in it, still usable, but he had a new one on the way when he got them, i also think that was by far the best glow plane i have ever had, not sure if i will get a 74 right away, want to try the electric extra(my 1st electric) and then stick to bigger gas planes, chris you can be expecting a call from me in a few days for sure, thanks for all the great products and customer service...dave spencer in arizona

Status: offline 		Seriously ... I think this is a hobby and we need to just enjoy it. I see what TOR is saying but then again, it can be also seen as stirring things up. Let's keep this as a hobby. If not we will be questioning the BME YAK and whatever else that was a so called rip off from the previous EF YAK. Its just a hobby!!!
