What motor do you want to use?

How much work do you want to go thru putting it together?

Do you need it right now?

Do you need the lightest most powerful set up?

Do you want to run a pipe/can/pitts?


I think the best power to wing loading is:

http://www.ultrarc.com/100ccyak/index.html with BME 115 would be my best bet right now.
I would find a thread on this plane to make sure it is everything advertised and that the BME balances before I made the plunge though.

Next would be QQ with same motor.

Most newer the planes 35% Yaks and most of the 100cc motors will be a great combo.

Since you are posting this in the 3D forum I assume that you want the best 3D/Freestyle?

You might consider going back into your first post and editing the Subject to something like:

Best 35% Yak and set up for 3D/Freestyle

If you do that you might get more help in this forum.

I will second that on all accounts.

I have a BME 110 and have been around to see several of the new 115's run and you cannot beat the fact that they will turn any prop as well as a 3W106CS and they are almost 2 pounds lighter than a 3W or DA. Dont get me wrong, the 3W and DA engines are fantastic, but that weight savings is really a huge bonus when you are trying to build a lightweight plane for 3D.

Not to mention they run great and are very reliable.
