Can't speak about the EF, but I have the H9/ Carden with a DL50 and it flys great. No bad habits and no mixes needed. A little wing rock on Harriers, but easy to handle. Landings are no problems.

I've used Hitec 985 servos on a 50cc gas planes. Although not digital they are coreless, and are smooth and reliable with metal gears.

I've got 5955's on the elevator and JR8611's on rudder - ailerons. I thought about the 5985's but even on 6V they are less than the minimum recommended torque. I had the 8611's layin around and the 5955's were only $10 more than the 5985's at my LHS.

The Hitec 5955 TG is the comparative of the 8711 from JR. The Hitec is a little more cost effective. They are a great servo. Good luck.

Go with a Wildhare Sukhoi. Great flying plane. Sell the DA50 and pick up a 3mm TOC53, great engine. Tom at Wildhare is second to none when it comes to customer service.

I looked at that sukhoi and it really looks badass...but I like the EF Extra a bit more, someone at home is sellin a 300 rtf for an insane deal, I may pick that up then piece a plane together later on in the year for my DA, but if its sold I'll be piecing a plane together now, thanks again everyone for all the help.

def leaning a bit toward the EF...heard they were pretty fragile..

CHAWKJIM

There was an EF at the field and the owner was a very good friend of mine. The plane he flew was ef 50 size and he was flying it with a brillelli . The plane was an awesome flier but it was very fragile. Keep a close eye on glue joints. But it flew very well.

did the joints come loose or anything?

No problems with my 88" Yak and its 2 years old...I did go over most of the joints with ca but I do that with any arf.

EF fragile? lol.... I have the 88.5 Extra and I have never thought of it as being fragile. They are not perfect like all planes made by mortals but they are pretty darn nice.

I have probably upwards of 150 flights on my EF Extra.... I wouldn't call it fragile.. I would call it a great flyer.

How long was the build on the EF Extra? Basically from the ARF/everything out of hte box to flying?

DangerousFlyer

The only thing I know is don't get the Hangar 9 extra 260. The worst plane i have ever flown with a dl50. It is better suited for either a zdz 40 or a brilleli 46gt. BTW,
the plane i recommend is a aeroworks extra 260. I have seen it fly and it is a beast in the air with a da/dl50. I have also been looking for a 50cc plane and with
all the research i've done the aeroworks would be the plane for me. Sure the extreme flight yak/extra flies nice and smooth, but if you are looking for a 3d monster,
get an Aeroworks!!!

DangerousFlyer

BTW, it's a quick build, which means if you are a new builder to gas then it will be easier and faster than any build in it's class.
That's just my 2 cents.

DF: I am not sure why you would call that a 3D monster over the EF... the EF is much more stable in harriers and tracks better.

The AW out tumbles and rolls faster and tracks well... but since I have flown both a lot I can tell you there isn't much the EF wont do over the AW.

I know not go get the Hangar 9 27% 260, I had one and I have a Moki 1.8 sitting in my garage which will probably go on another one in the future....How does the Hangar 9 Carden Yak compare? I ask because I know someone who can get the ARF new for $575 and do really well on the servos....

BTW- I Was thinking to do Hitec 5955's on rudder/elevators and 5985's on ailerons? Would that work?

Jake Ruddy

My Feedback: (40)

I hear it flies well.. can't really compare since I haven't flown one.

No sense saving some money on 5985s.. might as well get 5955s all around they won't develop slop and you can use them in larger planes later.

EF Extra or Yak.... worth every penny.... GREAT customer service
5955 or 7955 servos
