RE: Edge vs Extra
Personally I would buy a Wildhare over the Lanier... the Yak comes out very heavy and I am pretty sure the Edge and Extra do as well.
For 3" wingspan less and less money you will have a better flying plane. - Just my 2 cents
As far as flying... edge is going to do a lot of tumbling moves better and general 3D better. Extra is going to kill it on precision. In my mind an Extra is a better all around plane because it does 3D well too.
