Default Looking for larger 48 inch plane

For spring I wanted to get a little larger plane. I am pleased that there are now so many offered but I would like some opinions.

I evaluate my planes based on low coupling, great KE, and stable harrier. Here is my current list, but some of them are not yet released:

1) 47" 3D Hobby Yak
2) 47" 3D Hobby Extra
3) 47" Extreme Flight Yak 54E
4) 49" Quique Electric Yak
5) 49" SebArt Katana S30
6) 50" Fliton AJ Extra

I almost included the 46" PA Kantana MD but I think that is a little small, and Kantana's really don't KE well without side force generators. What other planes am I missing?

Are there any in this 48" class that are not scale, more like the inspire/brio artistic-arobatic planes?

What is your favorite?

Well it's a profile and only 40", but the Skeeter 40 rocks.

It's a kit so if you are only intersted in ARF's it may not fit the bill for you.

There's also the Fusion from OMP. It's 52" WS, but only 4-4.5 lbs, flies precision and 3D and it's an ARF.

Sorry I don't really know much about the planes you listed. Although the Fliton planes have a great rep.

I would go with the EF Yak. The plane seems to be a very stable plane and seems to KF like a dream.
Just my 2 cents.

i second that opinion. the yak flys as good as it looks, another ecellent plane from ext.flight. if you liked the extra get the yak. i'm running 3s in mine and it flys great.

Id definitely go with 3dhobby 47" yak. It flys ke with out coupling except for really high alpha. My buddy has one and I will get one too. It uses pretty cheap electronics too. (not like a .40 sized planes)
It gets my vote
