AM 260 or Yak????
Which one of these 30% planes would be better for Imac/freestyle??? My freind is getting into comps and was wondering because he is torn.

Neither one! If it is performance you want you want:
QQ 86" Yak
BME 87" Yak
Ultra RC 87" Yak
or wait for the new 50cc offerings from Extreme Flight in Jan.

Personally I might look at the AW Extra 260... extremely light and the 260 tracks great and 3Ds well. I think the AM is a bit heavy for its sqs

RE: AM 260 or Yak????
I just finished the build and maiden of the AM Extra 260 with a DA50. It came in at 15lbs 10 oz. It is almost a pound lighter than the most all 50cc Yaks and also the AW 260 from what I have read. I did use CF LG and a smaller tank. Saved about 5 oz overall. It is as light or lighter than anything else in the 50cc class except the Air Wild stuff. Going with CF tubes and a CF or fiberglass spinner would shave another 9 oz or so. There is a build thread under 3d flying. Check it out.
Flies great!

It was left over from another project. I think I ordered it from AeroWorks for a 29% Edge. It was a little taller and narrower but does not seem to affect taxing.

Where did you get the CF landing gear?
