The H-9 is only $100 more and bigger.
H-9s are nice because you'll be able to get spare parts for a long time and easily.

I think the Krill katana 33% is a bad ass but maybe little expensive...

I want the best flying plane that I can get parts for if needed, I had a issue about a year ago with a company that I will not mention here but whenever it came time to get a spare part it was almost impossible because of the instability of the company. I like a company that can deliver customer service when needed.

Sir:

Wild Hare is known for our support, I think you can get easy confirmation of that here. Wild Hare has been around for 6 years, same owners all the time, you can call us and discuss whatever you want to talk about unless you don't like dogs, in which case we'd better stick to airplanes.

May I also suggest the new Wild Hare Giles G202. This is one of the most stable planeas available, it was just released a few weeks ago. We have them in stock as shown, plus we have plenty of spare parts available.

This plane is in a "fast-build" format. All the surfaces are pre-hinged, the canopy and dash panel are pre-installed, the only glue required is to glue the rudder hinges into the fin, the rudder is only half hinged to keep the shipping box to a reasonable size.

Of course the Extra 300 is also pre-hinged but the canopy is not pre-installed. Either plane would suit your needs well and both are in stock now. Also both have been tested to perform extremely well with a DA-85 which saves some money and weight.

Tom- I love dogs, never liked the looks of the Giles (no pun intended) I guess I'm just getting a little old or a least that what my body tells me in the mornings LOL. I've always liked Extra's, Ultimates and lately Yaks. I sure would like to see a video of the Extra with that 85 in it, that sounds pretty sweet. I'm sure that you will do all you can do to be there for your customers, and I have always heard great things about Wild Hare.

I've seen a couple of the Wildhare 35% Extra's and they are very well built planes. PAU Edge's look to be a huge hit as well. Another plane you should consider, if you like Yak's, is the Extreme Flight 110" Yak54.

What about the Quique 35% Pitts Python?
Opps It's 32% (had to do the math)

The Kimball Scheme is nice!

I second Rickster's Recommendation of the Pacific Planes Extra 260. I just bought one and the customer service is awesome. I Have 2 30% Yaks now and I have always had a sweet spot for extra's so the 260 was a logical choice for me.

Check out the JTec planes. Al & Kevin are great to work with, and you could drive to Mooresville & save shipping.
