Default 3 choice 40% poll

I know this thread is just like the one below but I wanted to narrow the choices and make the results easier to see. I will be choosing one of these planes in this mounth so this is very important. I like the jtec because it has been provne in comps, but I am iffy with the 330s. The Sd models extra 260 is my first choice because I love the 260's, I just dont know how well it will do because it is to new. The wildhare is my third choice because I think the 300's are the new thing and also it is used by an awsome pilot so I know it is competition worthy. I will be using this plane for strictley Imac so that is also soemthing to consider. Thanks,

Mike Rohren

I went with the SD 260 - why its simply the best quality I have seen for the money!!! - mine arrived last week - the carbon gear is great and the wing bags for very little extra is unbelievable - now the wildhare has had some real problems with their hinging system but i am 100% sure tom will fix it, he always does - that is also a great plane - now the jtec you need to see for yourself - with these three planes its up to you and in the set-up!! as they are to close to call

The JTEC/Radiowave fit and finish is extremely high and the flying characteristics are hard to beat. It's a proven design.

Yeah the jtec is proven. That is the only reason I am iffy about the sd 260. I Know it is going to be a great flyer it is just that all these planes are around the same price and I want the best flyer I can get for my money.

i just went through this myself as some of you know and i went with the wild hare. i haven't got it ready to fly yet but it is one of the best looking arfs i have had so far. the covering was much better than the sd yak i had although it was not bad. it looks to be built light and strong. all wood and glue joints look very good and everything is lined up and straight. i also like the looks of the pocket hinges and have not heard about any problems with them myself. i can see how after time there would be some wear but all hinges wear after enough flights. i think these would be very easy to tighten back up.
all are very good planes but at the price i thought the WH was a great value and still do. time will tell.

adrein, what problems are you speaking of with the hinges?

And you know this how?

There are none of these planes in Israel, and I know you didn't buy one from me, so I can only suppose that you are passing on a rumor.

The hinge issues were on some of the first batch of planes only, long since fixed.

Way to torpedo a potential sale though, nice job. Similar to "for a fat girl you sure don't sweat much".

Just got underway with my WH 41% Extra..... Just an amazing arf Plane at an amazing value! Can't wait to get her up, the reviews thus far here on the giants show it as a excellent plane! I personally see NO issues with the hinging, as i hope to see more planes with this hinge type. JMO.....
