Hi Guys,
I am about to purchase my first gasser. I will be installing a DA 50.
I will primarily be flying it for IMAC, but want some 3D. I have been looking at the
Wild Hare 28% Edge 540T V2, and the H9 27% 260 and cannot decide. I was looking for some advice on which one, as far as ease of build( I know, they are ARF's), quality of hardware etc. I am not trying to start a product war here, just get some feedback from those of you that have had experience with these two planes.

THANKS,
James

I think that WildHare's Extra 300 would be a good choice for you. I had one of WH's early Edges and it was a good flying plane, but I think that the new 300 would be a really good choice for you if you do want to dabble in IMAC with it. I haven't flown one of the H9 260's, but I have heard from people that have that they are borderline on wingloading because they are a little bit smaller(are they 78" versus the 84" of the WH?). I've heard that they DO fly awesome on the big saito engines though.

I know of a few H9's that have fluttered to death with a 50cc and stock hardware

Dangerous Dan · 06-20-2007, 10:13 AM

The WH Extra will perform better IMAC than the WH edge, The edge will be better at 3D

bodywerks · 06-20-2007, 10:18 AM

the H9 is too small. you want light wingloading and good power-to-weight. Sure, the H9 is only 14.5 pounds or so with the DA, but it only has 1150 squares. Go with the WH 300, IMO.

i would also go with WH If I only had those 2 options but don't limit your self there is a lot of good planes out there, check out the Sd models extra 260 the Hp version is a quick built and the quality of the hardware is excellent.

**Cracky** · 06-20-2007, 10:24 AM

Didn't Tom redesign the edges? I had one out of the second batch. I think the newer ones are lighter.

Skip the H9, it's too small for gas. Great airplane, just not in this application.

krayzc · 06-20-2007, 11:09 AM

easy one here:

WH

toprudder · 06-20-2007, 12:34 PM

No brainer, go with the WH.

Jcarte · 06-20-2007, 01:44 PM

I agree with everyone above, get the Wildhare, I would.

JAMPILOT · 06-20-2007, 01:45 PM

Thanks for everyone's input. I am going with the WH

I think Tom owes someone a few $$ for all the good words about his aircraft! haha

You will not be sorry about purchasing a WH.
