go ahead and give tome a call and get the wild hare on the way, you will love it and you can realy talk to tom or his wife anytime you need help. i don't have mine finished yet but still think it is the best value in this size plane out there. the other planes on your list are also very good planes but if you want more bang for your buck get the rabbit.

That's the truth about Wildhare. My uncle had a problem with a dinged wing from shipping and he talked to both Tom and his wife. Not their fault, but they stepped up and fixed the problem with a new wing. That says alot about a company to me. Good luck with what ever you decide on, just make sure you make the decision that is right for you.

Im realy surprised you cant get Bill or Gene at TBM or garrett on pm here on the giants

about the sponsored pilots not giving a true report is not completely true - our feed back to the factory is so tough that they respond almost instantly to our complaints or negative feed back because noboddy today can afford to make to many mistakes - fact

SD -models has made a full turn and it was never the planes but rather people or dealers causing the problem - believe me out our way we deliver the best service to pilots flying our planes whether its building or flying help!!

Have you tried getting a hold of TBM???

You don't need to talk to Auggie Busch to buy a case of Budweiser...all you gotta do is go down to the liquor store

I got my 300 in last week and it is great looks better then the SD and i like the foam wings that come with the bunny . For the money you cant go wrong the the wildhare and the service is great ...

adrien, i didn't say that sponcered pilots didn't tell the truth. but when it is there job to help sell a product they may not always tell all of the truth. when regular guys build and fly them most will tell the good and the bad and almost all kits have both.

Aeroworks extra 260 or the sd models 260 For a inexpensive alternative to Carden/ Dalton , Comp/x-treme.They both fly well. Comes down to looks for me. Schemes and lines , the 260's are the hotter plane right now. Very superficial I know.
