Yes, I know what you mean. The Yak I have (BME) is almost exactly the same weight. In fact, that's one of the reasons I was really happy to see the Brillelli 60 come along, as it is so close in weight to nearly ALL of the FIFTY cc setups, yet has that 10cc "bonus".

The Yak does VERY well, and I'm expecting this Extra to match it, particularly since wing area is so close between the two. The Extra is definitely cleaner, thinner wing and stab airfoils, and less frontal drag, so I'm thinking it will be easier to transition between flight regimes.

Hopefully - it will do well. If it doesn't, well, not much I can do.
