Default Yak 54 vs. Sukhoi

I'd love to hear your comparisson between these two giant scale 3d airplanes - Sukhoi and Yak 54 (89' wingspan and up, 50-100cc).
and which one is easier to fly, and better 3d.

Keep in mind that a Yak made by Extreme Flight may/will fly differently than a Yak made by Pilot RC or Aeroworks.

You really need to pin down the exact models you're talking about.

ok., as I am just getting into 3d giant scaled ones, can you give your opinion about the differences between the various company's models ?

Keep in mind that neither the Yak nor the Sukhois are really scale, but rather rounded nose Extras....

Meaning pick your favorite plane. All of the models from Red Aero, Pilot RC, Extreme Flight, Aeroworks and others fly pretty well.

+ 1 on the answers given in posts 2, 4 & 6.

Choose which color scheme you prefer and buy that.

This advice from BarracudaHockey is probably the best given.

But I am surprised nobody has told you to also consider other choices yet.

Just about any of the current crop of aerobatic airplanes from Pilot, Aeroworks, EF, red and the like are all going to pretty much fly the same. The wheel has already been invented. Look for price Vs quality and make the choice. Too many times somone will live with a poor flying airplane thinking it's just that particular design that has issues. Truth is if you take the time to learn and understand why our airplanes do what they do, you can make adjustments to get it to fly just the way you want.

No comparison, a Sukhoi 26 or 31 LOOKS 100+ times better than a Yak 54 Check out CARF models for a hot looking Suk.

If you are just stepping into this category, you wont be able to tell if an Aeroworks Yak is better than an EF Extra or vice versa.

The entire outfit selected and set up will dictate the actual flight enjoyment. just stay away from new ebay or generic cheap airframes

PAU does not get alot of press on this site, but they have a good, respected selection.

Hangar 9 has two excellent Sukhoi Su26 offerings. I have the 3.1M and it is awsome.

I am considering buying the PAU Sukhoi.
Beautiful airplane....
But, it's a pretty old design... been around for a long time.
Do you think it's flying qualities are up to the current standards of the Extras, Edges, Yaks, etc.?
And how about the kit quality.... any concerns?
