Default T-28 vs. 'Phoon 2

Yes, I searched. No, I found nothing. So I have a HobbyZone Supper Cub, which I'm quite decent at flying, if I do say so myself. Actually, I wasn't (I've only replaced the firewall seven times), but then I bought G3.5 and brought my flying skills up to snuff after a few grand in simulated airplane crashes. But my three channel doesn't do a whole lot, so I'd like to upgrade to a four. I don't want to go to a kit plane yet, as I still would like to be able to buy spare parts for it. Now, in Real Flight, my favorite airplane by far is the Yak 54. I'm not sure whether or not I want the T-28 or the Typhoon 2, and I realize that neither will be my Yak 54, but still, I would like the one that's closest.

Here's what I like about the Yak:
Harriers, hovers and waterfalls are very easy
Knife-edge flight can be sustained more easily for longer periods of time than most
Very responsive without the over-sensitive feel of the E3D, Cap 232, Fundango, etc.

I realize that the Yak 54 is much larger than most of the airplanes that I'm comparing to, but the T-28 is only five inches longer than the Phoon. In addition to that, the Phoon is a 3D plane, so it's probably got that over-sensitive feel to it, but the T-28 might not be aerobatic enough for me, and I'd probably get used to the twitchiness, which the T-28 might have anywho...


And the T-28 is like twice as cool as the Phoon. So if you could help me out that would be ORSHUM.

All the best,
Ricky
