Default 65" OMP YAK vs. 79" OMP YAK

I've had my 65" YAK for about 1 year now. I went from hovering 30' high to being able to tailtouching this year. Love the plane, slow and stable and just can't imagine having more fun with another plane ( of course there's my 60 mojo thats fun too) but if I go to a bigger profile like the OMP 79" YAK and go with gas what will I get, slower more stable, just be able to see it better or what?

I just trying to decide what I will gain if I go to a bigger plane, or should I just keep having with the profiles I have? Any thoughts?

MY thought....get the bigger gasser. If you do not like it, you can always sell a nice big plane. VCapt,n[&:]

All of the above.

I have built, and still own both of these planes.
Saito 100 in one, piped MVVS 215 on the other. Over 250 flights on each.

Little one has been parked since this spring, when I got my big one going.
But it's still a keeper - I'll get back to it sometime. (I hate glow fuel goo)

Both planes fly very similar to each other, but bigger is always better.
If you like the little one, and can afford the big one, go for it.
If you are looking for a radical difference in performance, look elsewhere.

Limiting factor for most people is the size they can transport to and from the field.
