Default RE: Yak, Extra, or Edge

Hey Bob, it's hard to categorize a particular plane to a particular flying style. Slight movement on location on wings, tail moments, and airfoils drastically change behaviors. The only traits I've found that has stuck is knife edge spins and Edge540's. Both of mine, different makes and sizes, just seem to wrap themselves up. It seems that Yak's also tumble extremely well and Extras and Katanas seem to carve beautiful lines in the sky but it would depend on who makes it and wing loads.

Sorry...long winded. I would highly recommend the 3Dhobbyshops 85" Katana. I have not flown this plane but I have heard many rave about it. Ben @ 3Dhobbyshops has the best customer service and can hook you up with a great electric set-up. They are coming out with an Extra 300 SHP 87" available in the spring. The video I'm linking it's flown 3D, just move the CG forward for precision flight.
