Which is the better plane? What are the differences in flying characteristics? Which is better for high speed, aerobatics? Any experiences would be great.
Thanks,

None of these planes would be good for high speed aerobatics. These planes all have large control surfaces that allow them to perform the amazing aerobatics. Having these large surfaces is sort of a tradeoff. The planes sacrifice speed for maneuverability. If the speed of these planes is pushed too much you end up with flutter. This often leads to the demise of the airplane. I have a Gp Cap and am working on there Extra (60 size) and have found these types of planes a joy to fly.
