Now I guess I'll have to choose between the AJ Extra 300-S and the Mini Raven which looks like very good


AJ Extra 330S It's a 330, not a 300. I'm having the SAME problem. I can't choose between the Extreme Flight Yak, the AJ Extra, or the Quique Yak 49". Oh, the strain!!!!! My LHS has some AJ Extras, so I'm leaning towards that. But since I'm in Georgia, I could drive over to Extreme Flight (which is also in Georgia) and pick one of the Yaks up. BUT, that QQ Yak has some good reviews and I wouldn't mind having one. What do I do?

Status: offline 		I think one major difference between the AJ-Extra-330S ( ) (or even the mini Raven / QQ Yak) and all the others is the size/weigth.
All the prices are almost the same which makes it still more difficult to choose

I am going to look for info about the QQ in order to complicated things more!

Status: offline 		In regards to size/weight, the QQ Yak is considerably larger than the others. My flying buddy has the 3D Yak at 47" and my 49" QQ is a MUCH larger airplane. My RTF weight with an Eflite Power 25 and a TP3S3300 is 52 oz. I don't believe there is that much difference in the performance, though. The scales may tip a bit in favor of the larger airframe but I am not an accomplished 3D pilot so I can't really speak with any authority on that point. If you get the QQ Yak, be prepared to re-engineer the landing gear because it WILL break. I've done 2 rebuilds and I now have it fixed so that the gear breaks away and leaves everything else untouched. Other than that, it is a really great airplane. I like the size; it definitely has the look and feel of a larger (.40 - .50) airplane.

Status: offline 		mini raven / AJ extra 330-S / QQ Yak 54 => all three seem to be quite larger than all others listed.

As above, you will have to strengthen the landing gear on the AJ as well. I use stainless bolts instead of the 4 mm nylons, which will break quite easily.

Status: offline 		Nice thing about the AJ; it flies like a 30-40 percent bird. I kid you not. It flies as good as my large scale extra 300. All bets are off in the wind, but keep the AJ close-in, and it presents, and flies like a much larger plane.
