Hi Sean.. ive been flying for a little over 3 months now on and off/i have the e-flite yak and the mini edge as well as parkflyers edge and parkzone typhoon. you have expierence with the small electrics and the big gassers ie 40% planes. my expierence just from seeing 40% planes fly is that there less twitchy and way more forgiving.. even on realflightg3 i can hover at will and move the plane anywhere in hover and do a lot of other 3D stuff very easy with lots of reaction time with the 40% planes and have read TOC pilots use them in competition because they fly so well ? do you think this from flying the two types of planes? not to mention there less affected by wind and easier to see far away. also good call on the yak.. i do stuff really low with it.. its got such a light wingloading you can fly it easily at 10mph or less and nose up and power out if ya get in trouble. ofcourse the edge and other heavier planes are less stable at slower speeds because of there heavier weight but have a lot more speed and are fun to rip around with fast.
