hi,
i need to buy a very good 50cc plane fast. i live in India and have a shipment coming from the US in a week.
i've got a DA50 on a WH 28% edge and it fly's great. it came out at 17lb stock. as my second plane i would like to have a plans which weights around 15 to 16 lb range.
i don't really want to spend money on CF accessories to make the plane lighter. i love building so, i don't mind a kit ether.
i've made a list which i think might be good but please feel free to add.

the new wildhare extra
airwild extra
CA 26% extra builders kit
OMP hybrid 90" edge (kit)
QQ 85" yak

thanks

QQ 85" yak gets my vote.

do you think it's good idea to buy the 85" yak when QQ are planing to come out with the improved 86" yak?

My Airwild EXTRA 260 came in at 14.9lbs ( stock build ) No mods! I'm using a Taurus 52 with a pitts style muffler 23/8 ZAOR prop. It's a vertical missile! Floats like a feather. I will never go back to a heavier airframe. I think in time other MGF's will catch up to this standard.
Tuff choice Good Luck.

Airwild Extra 260 looks real good and I would also seriously consider the Aerotech Velox Revolution II if they're available.

why not get a comp arf 2x2m extra? i just got one...havent built it yet, but i know a bunch of people that say it flies really well with the da50.

if you want a light on go with a QQ YAK,most come out at 15-1/2 to 16lbs. mine at 15lbs 4ozs. they are in stock now, you can't get a much better flying plane!
ENJOY!

thanks for all the suggestions, it would have been nice to hear a flying report on the new WH extra. i think now it's between the QQ, WH and Airwild.
all the planes are in stock and the wildhare is the least expensive at about $ 430 then the QQ 85" yak in all white $520 and the AW extra $575
my thinking was the i quite like the new WH extra and at $100 less then everything less, i could buy CF wing tube and landing gear if i think i need to reduce weight
anyway, i appreciate all the help

I just bought the New Wild Hare extra. I have been working on it for a couple weeks now (I don't have much time). But I can tell you that it's built great. I was flying the original extra special and loved it too, but I wanted to see what the Redesigned extra would fly like at a couple pounds lighter.I should be doene next weekend and I'll give a flight report then.

The QQ comes with a CF wing tube, tail wheel and rudder servo control horn stock. Also, titanium H-9 prolinks all around. I'd switch out the cowl and canopy hardware for 4-40 but the rest is fine.

i had placed an order for the new WH28% extra but unfortunately the plane is not going to be available new and i cant wait for it.
so, as a second option i went with the CA 26% extra 330L. i love to build and hopefully it will be a nice plane to fly.
anyway, anyone flying the new CA 26% extra? how does it fly? and compare to the ARF's that where mention in the 1st post

thanks
