Guys..........Since i have been into the flying thing , everything " I thought" i read always leaned towards the Yak 54 for serious 3-D , and that the yak 55 really didn't perform all that well at 3-D. I'm not sure about the IMAC stuff , but i have read the yak 55 performs really well in that type of flying. Personally , i haven't even been able to build my first Yak 54 (SD-Models) 33% yet , but I KNOW when i get ready to upsize to the 35% size i really like this WH Sukoi (which is my first choice) or a 35% 260 of some type. Also.......Just from what i saw at the Mollala imac/freestyle show this last summer , i totally agree with that the 40% just seem to slow. All the guys are saying "bigger fly's better" , well , that may be , but the looked really slow compared to some of the 35-37% size airplanes , that in my eye's , looked more responsive , cheaper to build ( a little) and flew great.

Like i said , i haven't even built my first yak , and i'm already yaked out! It seems like that's what everyone owns and i want something different that stands out in a crowd of yak 54's. When i build the 35% , i'm looking for something new , and that Sukoi i think would be my choice. I have seen all the pics and threads with SS and RIK with their's , and fitting it with a BME 115.......aaahhh , my dream plane!!
