Default Hyperion Sniper or Tribute FX?

Guys,

I've put it down to 2. The Hyperion Sniper or the E-Flite Tribute FX that comes out in late March? I like how both look. The Hyperion Sniper isn't a long drive to pick up, but the TFX looks like a beast. Sigh, what to do? [&o] I have a 400 outrunner that needs a new home. Here are the planes I already have/had and don't need another.

E-Flite:
Yak 54F
Tribute (profile)

Any suggestions?

Stinger

Oh man. I know before I was telling you to get the TFX, but that sniper looks OFF DA HOOK.

Exactly what kind of flying do you do.

Another SZ pilot here too. Flies better than expected. Knifedges with no other input but rudder and steers around with el. Tougher than my tomcat. If you do get it holler back. There a few minor fixes.

I think the sniper may be too small for your 400. 27.95" wingspan???

Actually, that's a miscalculation - it should be 1 meter (39 inch) wingspan. Great plane btw.

After much thought, I'm getting the FX. If I plant it, the Sniper will be next on my list. [8D]
