FLEW THE 41% WILD HARE EXTRA 300

[Divesplat]

My first set of stabs had the wrong size carbon fiber pin so there was a bunch of play but Tom replaced them soon as I commented on it.

I used to 8611's Pull Pull where the cutout were in the fuse with a DA150 w/o problems. Have 20 or so flights but hope to get some more if the weather will warm up a bit.

Hey Guys... I just got one of these a coupke weeks ago for my son. It's sitting on the bench gathering supplies and awaiting assembly. Anyone got any pix on the rear 2 servo push pull setup? I never really looked closely yet, but there are no pre-existing servo bays in the tail to do this is there? I was wondering what you guys did to mod it this way. I have done it before with smaller planes, but was curious what you guys did with this one... any help and pix is much appreciated! I plan on using 2 5955TG's back there on the rudder.....

I just maidened mine today, I was only able to get the maiden flight in before the wind picked up to about 30 plus mph. I went with the push-pull set-up, there is servo bays on the sides about 12 inches to the rudder control horn. It works, but I think they should be closer to the rudder. I really like the push-pull set-up.

Just wondering if the mid-fuselage hardware mounting plate would be in the way of a full length KS1090 setup. Looks like this plane is built only for canisters . .kind of makes it tough to bet the longer pipes in there.

Anyone found a good alternative carbon landing gear to replace the onein the kit. looking to save weight in all places.

thanks,

Thats a good question, I want to get carbon landing gear too.

I am sending a sample to graph-tech tomorrow for him to make a mold. However long it takes them to do a gear, that's how long it will be.

I saw Lyndel Roe's with a set of Comp-Arf gear and it looked really good. He said it wasn'r tought to make them work.

Graph Tech will have one in about 3-4 weeks

I had the camera with me, but it had dead batteries.

At least get some of the color scheme and install at the house!

I picked up my White/Yellow/Black Extra this weekend... wow, Tom, thanks again for the time and coffee. what a great visit and a great transaction!

i am really looking forward to getting her together and getting in the AIR!!!

i am running a 3w140 and want to try and get the overall weight down to 37 lbs.

Anyone figure out how to do MINI PIPES yet, come on, gotta be some great engineers out there?!?!!!?!?

Anyways, still have a stupid grin on my face as this is my first 40 % plane.

Chuck, with the 140, use the Pefa LL canisters and headers from 3W and you will have the power of a 150, and then some. My 140's picked up 450-500 rpm by going tot he parger LL canisters instead of using the L canisters designed for the 140. It's a drop in cimple sintallation, will increase your power a lot, and is very quiet .. all win win win to me.

I went flying today and only got 1.5 flights in before the covering (i don't know what it is?) on the leading edge of the left wing let loose. I had no problem landing the plane, but it cut short my chance to practice for the Cactus Classic today. I have to recover it before I can fly this weekend, what a pain!!!!!
