Of the 3 planes you have listed, the person that burns the most gas will have the advantage. I fly my Wildhare in IMAC and am not looking for anything else. The guy on the sticks is the limiting factor in my case.

The only reason I am resisting the wildhare is because I heard It winds up in snaps and is hard to stop. I want I plane that tracks well most importantly.

I don't think any of the pilots on here mentioned anything like that. I believe the snaps are quite clean and stop almost immediately. Is it possible that you are confusing the Wild Hare 41% Extra 300 with our older 36% Extra?

"why fly high" can probably comment on this. He has one of the original Extra 300 prototypes that has been updated with new wings and stabs.

My previous comment applies to snaps as well. IMAC puts a lot of emphasis on snaps, that is usually the higher K factors. I never had an issue with snaps winding up, new or old wings. The biggest improvement to me is that the ailerons are stiffer on the new wings allowing for 2 servos instead of 3.

Like I've said in the past, the Wildhare flies better than most and as good as any and is the cheapest option. I have had 0 durability issues on mine and have even had an off field landing that the gear stayed on with no damage. Also, Tom is great to work with and stands behind his products. There really is a reason why his customer's swear by his planes.

The flame schemes are normally shipped as a pro model which gives you panels, pilot, an extra set of h-stabs. I can sell it as a non pro if you like, the flame scheme does cost me $155 more than the non flames, I have to pass that through.

We have the white/yellow/black sunburst planes in stock right now.

My opinion about IMAC planes is this. Up through intermediate there are a few planes that will just fight you all the time. I once tried to fly the IMAC sequences with a Decathlon. There was no hope. I could not make that design fly a straight vertical line to save my own life.

But once you get away from the real turkeys, they are all capable of winning with the right pilot, properly trimmed, and with enough practice.

When you get to advanced and unlimited the plane plays a slightly larger part. Some present better, some require less trimming, but by far the most significant factors are trimming and practice.

There is no plane that will make an unpracticed pilot look like he has been practicing.

I fly every day so practicing is not undone. My flying field is in my back yard.
