For a light setup I would go with the Yak.
The Extra will handle more wind b/c it's heavier, but I prefer the Yak. |

Well I quickly did a search for your motor and it looks rather small. Maybe an 80-100W motor on 3s?
I tried a Park 300 outrunner on 3s on the Extra and just didn't like it. Not enough power for my taste, but it flew. No pullout power from hover. But mine was also very heavy, with a 3 oz battery. The Extra might fly much better with your light Lipo. Check out the Extra 260's thread in this forum. There's a guy that has ballistic power on the 300 outrunner, I believe, but with a light 400-730mah 3s battery. The Extra is much heavier/durable construction. Lots of carbon reinforcement, hence the weight gain. That extra weight lets is fly a little better in windy conditions. If you want a floaty plane that 3D's well the Yak would be better, IMO. If you crash a lot, the Extra will last longer. Also, the Eflite Sobre has been getting better reviews compared to the Extra. Same construction techniques. |

I've had the Yak on that exact motor. Works well. My only complaint about the Yak is that it takes 3 times longer to assemble than the Sobre. For that reason, I'll be flying EFlight aircraft for my flat foamies. If I'm going to put a bunch of time into assembling a foamy, I'll assemble an Equalizer and get really light, foaty performance.

Yes, the Yak is a better flying plane all around than the EFlight Extra 260 (although the extra isn't bad). the Sobre is better than the Extra, if you want an EFlight plane for the building convenience, go w/ the sobre. It's very nearly as good as the Yak, IMO.

I Think it's between the Sobre And Yak I just need verdicts on which is better etc.. before i purchase...
What about the BYP Yak people have said that will work with my setup. I like the idea of trying a bi plane.. plus it would handle the wind better than the shockys?? jk |

Yea I probally will stick with it for a while, but its just i have used so much carbon fibre on it allready it its still like jelly.... now because its bending more it making it even sloppier??? If i try rolling harrier's the tail lags so much that it cant keep smooth or on a reasonably straight line... its ok for now but i feel that i can now handle a Depron plane to try.. if i crash i will pay the Hefty fine of 25 for another blade? JK
I would only use the Depron one in 0 wind anyway so it will be gd. |
