FLEW THE 41% WILD HARE EXTRA 300

[airborneSGT]

Yeah its really easy. I always use hitecs and program or just set up my linkages so I dont have them fighting each other.

I only like to fly Heli versions of radios. Cant stand the rachet in airplane radio throttles.

I set up a plane with the DX7 with similar requirements.

Throttle and rudder are obvious, no trick there. To use ganged servos you'll need a matchbox or the like to drive and equalize them.

Aileron 1 and elevator 1 use the regular channels. There's a 5th channel that can be used for a choke servo.

You need a mix for the other side aileron and elevator. Use mixes #5 and #6 because they are linked to the master for trimming, so when you trim the ailerons you don't trim just one side, same with elevators.

The biggest issue is getting used to what the switches do. They are not as logical as my Futaba 9C is and take some getting used to.

I did discover one neat feature. You can set up an option to remember where your throttle trim was before you kill the engine. With that option enabled you can hold throttle trim down to close the throttle, then the next time you touch the up trim it pops back to where it was. S,all feature but useful.

Learning the whole thing would takemore space than is here, but it's not too tough and worth the work.

You can take the ratchet out of any radio by backing out the tension screw. Very easy to do on any JR/Specktrum radio.

With Futaba's I had to take apart my 9C and put fuel tubbing over the piece of brass or just take it out. Good to know. If you have any pictures send em over to please!

I wouldn't go so far as to say its common sense. Common sense dictates check your channel...but anyone can make a mistake. Sure, I haven't been in the hobby all that long but this is the first time of heard of anything like that.

Right or wrong, I'm a 3rd party with an opinion and this is a public forum - just feel as though I disagree a bit. No need to call me dude

DUDE. . . . . . Absolutely!!!

If you are paying for the old plane, you BETTER get to keep it . . ALL of it. .every last scrap, paint flake, and piece of trim coating.

Anything less would be. . uncivilized.

I think it's way beyond the call of duty that BW has already publicly acknowedged his willlingness to come to a proper settlement.

There are two ways to proceed. . Cut the guy a break, because it was an ACCIDENT, and come to reasonable terms that gets you back flying just as well as before. . OR, you can keep complaining and slinging mud, in which case I don't think anyone in the Hobby would give you a thin dime.

Attitude goes a long way toward successful resolution of a situation like this. LazyboyFlyer. . .you need to check all the "I am a victim" attitude at the door. That's not how things are done, and quite frankly I am starting to resent your whining and kvetching.

An offer has been made. . . I suggest the interested parties sit down. . have a few cold ones. . relax, and come to terms. Being greedy is not going to get an entirely new plane and total setup. . coming to an understanding that gets you back flying, with as good of equipment as was in the plane before the mishap will be the best alternative in this case.

If all else fails. . you are welcome to litigate this before a civil claims judge.

However. . I'm SURE we are all ADULT enough to not have to go that route. . . or to have this silliness clogging up a perfectly good thread on a fine aircraft.

I really think both parties need to take this entire discussion. . PRIVATE. I'll "Lame Post" any more posts from either party mentioning this affair. It's gone too far. It needs to stop. . NOW.

NOW THEN. . . .

Ahem .. BAck on thread here. . . .

I'm very much interested in the WH 300 for IMAC. I've been shooting myself in the foot lately, trying to make planes that are not up to the task competitive in Advanced in the SE region in IMAC. I keep getting told. . by good friends. . that I'm beating my head against a wall by doing so.

So. . . if anyone can give me some real insight into how the plane flies I'd appreciate it. A direct comparison between the Comp Arf Super Extra would really help, since that was the best flying plane I've ever owned.

So. .back on thread here. . anyone care to step up and give us insight into IMAC only flying with this bird???

[Flatlandman]

Its a bad situation all around. The pilot is angry and hurt so give some leeway on the short term let the things be taken care of and then come to terms with what happened. I know im not the best person in the world and i would be unruly angry with the person even when they have done what they can do. In time i wouldn't be angry, when things are bought and a new plane was taken shape. Some people can handle these things with more grace ie the one known by a single name Wayne but unlike wayne I cant and i know theres other people out there that need to be mad for some time before they can let it go.

[bodywerks]

You're right. I just don't want my name being slandered...

[Shakes]

It's dead Jim.

[3-d flyer]

I know we are trying to get back on track here.... i look forward to more info on this plane as i prepare to set mine up..... However, i can not resist (and i do not know Bodyworks personally either) but i have to say what he is doing is DEFINATELY GIANTS STYLE! What more can i say, it's only my opinion so take it for what it's worth, but it was an accident! Geeezzz relax, already.... He, after replacing it with all new gear is definately entitled to the carnage...... why the heck not? Thumbs up Bodyworks, if i ever get shot down, i can only hope it would be from a guy who comes on a public Forum and says he's going to Fess up, especially when it seems like alot of you know each other from fly ins, etc!
