Wild Hare 28% Edge 540T
Picked up mine today from Tom, and All I can say is WOW!! This is a great looking ARF can't wait to start putting it together. Everything looks very well constructed and the covering job is great. I went with the upgrade landing gear and wing tube much lighter than the original, but I think it would be fine with the original parts. Going to put a BME 50 up front and was planing to use Futaba 9202 servos on the elevators and ailerons and a digital on the rudder. I used this setup on a midwest 27% extra and it worked fine. But I am not sure the 9202's will be enough on this plane. Any comments on servo choice for this bird.

RE: Wild Hare 28% Edge 540T
Keep us posted slowfly, mine will be here in January
( missed getting one of the December shippment ones was late on ordering it.[
]) , Looks like a great plane and Tom and his staff have been great to deal with. If the plane is 1/100th as good as the service Wildhare is serving up to it's customers it should be a real winner. Pictures, procedures and progress, let's see and hear about it.

I have decided on the Hitec 5945's for the aileron and elevator; and the new JR8611 for the rudder. These servos exceed the manufacturers torque specs in standard size servos. $500 worth of servos, but then I will have them for all time, so probably worth the cost. These servos will be running into a Futaba 9c and Rx with an MPI #5720 dual battery and switch setup and another MPI #5720 switch/battery running the DA50 ignition.

The Hitec 5625 or 5645 are plenty for this plane, but the 5945 or 5925 are even better although not needed for this one.
I use both on several different planes and have had good luck with them.

JR and FUTABA both have new servos that are a bit bigger than standard size, weigh just over 2 oz and deliver more than 260 in oz on 6v......This would be a good choice for the rudder to obtain great torque and save weight. This would be enough for all out 3D stuff

RE: Wild Hare 28% Edge 540T
Got mine today at lunch guys. It is everything tom said it would be. I wanted to thank tom and his company for putting up with us. I can only imagine the phone calls and headaches he went through.
I got my DA 50 about a week ago with slimline pitts smoke muffler. I am gonna try slimlines new showtime pro smoke pump. It has a programmable variable smoke pump motor. I hope it makes alot of smoke.
I will also run 5945's on ailerons and elevators. I decided to go with the new JR 8611 on the rudder.
I orderd the graphtec carbon fibre tail wheel assm. Dave Brown 3.5" Vortec Spinner. I will use all carbon fibre pushrods w/titanium ends from central hobbies. I also bought the upgrade kit from tom on the landing gear and wing tube assembly. You gotta see thel original landing gear......IT IS HUGE AND THICK. a lil heavy.....but would take one hell of crash to bend that landing gear.
I was gonna upload some pics but slow fly has beat me to it. Maybe I can temporarily assemble it all together and take a couple of shots.

Slowfly, that is just down right mean!!![:@] Posting pictures like that. It is akin to the Playboy pictures, showing something we all want but don't have.

RE: Wild Hare 28% Edge 540T
Not that i would, But i wonder how much one could get for it on the auction/EBAY. I would like to think that since they are sold out... There are people waiting on the January shipment You might could get 500-600 for it.
If you could wait for another ....would be an easy way to make some profit.
