Default Which 60-90-size electric F3A model?

Looking for a replacement 60-90 size plane for my electric gear. 6S LiPo, 3-3,5Kg 150-175cm wingspan. I've looked at the Möbius 1600E from Japan, but what alternatives are there? Yeah of course I'm considering an Angel S 50 but _everyone_ has one and my power setup is able to pull slightly bigger planes.

Hyperion Helios 90 pattern ship, looks good, light weight,reasonably priced.
I've flown the 60 size Helios for quite a while and it is a superb flying airplane.
I now have a new 90 size which I haven't flown yet but it can only be better.

With a 6S set up you have 'limited' choice. It will be very much be in the 50 sized category as most 90 sized pattern ship will be in the 7-8 lbs range and 6S is nothing much to shout about. True that the Angel S is a favourite now, that is because she does fly that well. If you like then wait for the Ms Wind, she will be in the US soon. I just got mine and she flies ever so well.

Do you want to get a glow model for conversion? Most of the so called 90 sized planes are best with a 120 and they need a lot of weight up front to balance well.

That is why I recommended the Helios 90 instead of the Wind 110 which I also have.
The Helios is much lighter than the Wind and has a smaller wing and will work well on
6S power.There is a video of the Helios 90 on You Tube flying on 6S and it looks to
have all the power it needs.
