what the differences of these 2 YAK54?
 
About to buy them and saw 2 version.

One is suppose to be older with 40sq less wing area but lighter. Does the old one have any bad vice? My power plant is Zenoah G20.

Older, the one I wanted to buy

Ok, I've had both of those planes. Fuzzy math. There identical on the out side. The orange and white one has a beefed up motor box, slightly heavier wings and a came with a carbon wing tube. The other one allthough advertized to have a carbon wing tube was actually aluminum as was the elevator stab tube. It's a funky size tube so it's hard to get a replacement carbon tube for it. 18mm x 620mm. I had to graft two together to make a carbon tube for the first one as the aluminum tube didn't hold up. There both fantastic planes and either one would be a good choice. Theres a couple of threads about these so you may want to read up. Put some screws in the motor box etc.
