If you would ask Brian Smith I think he would say, Go with the AVA. :-)

Hi All

I'm getting ready to buy an Res.  My choices are Ava, Danny and Topaz.

Question:
Which one has the strongest wing and will withstand a full pedal launch on 
a 6 volt Real Balls winch?


Which one has the best thermal turn and quickest reaction to rudder?

Dude,

I've owned all 3, and timed those rudder with an on-board gyroscopic
recording system.  The Danavazz responds to rudder input 42.7 milliseconds
faster than the other two.

After that, I tested all planes to destruction.  But I only had a 5.8 volt
Real Balls Winch.  Hope that was ok.  I monitored each spar with an hypnotic
mandarin strain guage.   Zoom they went.   The Tonava broke last, but only
took 4.2 oz more of launch stress than the other two. 

So, I'd call it pretty even between the three.

If you want the parts to do your own testing, let me know.
