Default Which is the best?

I am looking for the best flying for 3d and good aerobatic flying. I i have DA50 to put on either one.

The Hanger 9 Extra 260
The wild Hare Extra 300 or the Edge 540
and
The Patty Wagstaff

Remember I am looking for the best all around slow flight, good and bad habits.

Thanks guys

The 260 is the best Extra ever made. H9 did a great job with theirs.

I'd have to disagree, but that is what the internet is for!

I would go with a WH of those choices......

the Edge if you want more 3D, the Extra if you want more precision (but both do both just fine.....)

My short list for a DA-50 are the QQ Yak and the CA Extra kit........

I would avoid the GP patty if you want to 3D, it flies well though just not a 3D monster. The H9 260 other than the gear sucking flies well and 3D's well but read through the thread on it for some first hand experience. The wildhare extra special basically is a 260 in disguise, look at the wing placement on the 300 and 300 sp. out of those three the wildhare will probably be the best.


I am currently flying a TOC yak 54 and with a DA 50 that thing is a monster...just food for thought

With only 6 made and needing a special wavier to fly one in an airshow due to it being" to high performance" I don't understand why it wouldn't be the best.

That sure is a great price on the planesplus extra. How does it stack up the the others I have mentioned. Also, is there any thing else like a yak in that $400 price range?

the planes plus would be in line with the wild hare.. the H9 and the Patty would be in the higher wing loading category..

I see the planes plus has a longer wing span than the H9 and less wing area.

I see that.. i take that back,,, but i do know you cant go wrong, it is an exact copy of the CA.. a guy at our field has one.. i havent flown it but i have flown the 260 it tracks great and flies like it has more wing area than it does. the planes plus im told is same deal.
