Fliton AJ Extra330 or Extreme Flight Yak 54-E
Anyone with experience with either of these planes? Recommendations as to which one I should buy. They both look great, but I like the Yak's style more. Would love to know which is a better flier.
Thanks
Thanks

The thing that sets the AJ 330 apart, is its flying/counterbalanced rudder and elevator. I've been waiting for this in this sized aircraft for a while.
I was going to get the E-flite Yak 54, but think I'll wait for this airplane, now. It is a bittersweet decision, as I prefer the Yaks to the Extras, but the tail on the Extra sealed-the-deal for me.
Still, I'd like to see some video of all 3D extreme maneuvers with this plane, including knifeedge loops (if it will do it), elevators, blenders and general 3D mayhem, really abusing the airframe.

Is the flying counterbalanced rudder different then the counterbalanced rudder & elevator on the EF Yak? What am I missing here? if you are rating just the videos, then it looks like the EF Yak wons hands down. Talk is cheap, especially when it is idle ....

For me it is the airfoiled tail surfaces. That makes a world of difference to me in control authority flying sequence. Not so much 3D, but definately can feel it in sequence.
