Status: offline 		Here's my checklist for ARFs:

Anything broke?

Everything here?

Any wrinkles?

Build it!

Fly it!

Don't work???

Call the manufacturer and get it replaced.

Works everytime!!!!

Precision flying requires perfectly built airplane. Improving piloting skill on each and every trip to the field.

Status: offline 		I work as a nuclear toolmaker for the Department of Defense, Naval Sea Systems Command. I have naval and nuclear engineers come to me every day for solutions to their problems. When I design something (as Tom has) I expect people to have enough confidence in it to use it "as designed". If they don't want to do that they can go elsewhere for their help and products and I tell them so. Tom didn't build up WildHare to one of the top ARF companies in the world by designing or selling bad designs. He did it with solid designs and good flying aircraft and I, for one, trust the products he sends me until they prove me wrong, which they never have. Everyone has the rare bad apple but that's no reason to start questioning every apple in the barrel. I'll take WildHare over any other ARF any day.

Status: offline 		I myself bought an Edge from Tom and believe it is a good product per design. However, we have to realize the major material for an ARF is balsa wood and ply and a manual process is involved. As such, parts or fitting of an ARF can be less ideal. So a test to an ARF vendor is whether defects can be fixed. I believe WildHare does a wonderful job in this area.

The point I'd like to make is to make something out of an investment to ARF (or anything worth spent time on). There are things that will help make this happen. A check list is a good example, and a good product is another.

She is a woman who used to be on The View. Now I suppose you want to know what the View is.

It's a morning all woman TV talk show with Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg and several other shrill women who discuss stuff that men really really don't want to know or hear about. Apparently Star Jones is/was some sort of entertainment personality though AFAIK she is only famous for being famous.

My neighbor died last night. He had restless leg syndrome (RLS) and went to bed on satin sheets. His pajamas rubbing on the sheets formed so much electricity that when he went to touch his bed-side lamp he was electrocuted form the static build up.

You haven't missed anything, trust me. I have a small TV in my workshop that provides background noise, if it's on ABC then occasionally I am yanked back into awareness when that show comes on. Like a bearing running out of oil, it's hard to ignore the sound.

I usually will leave it on until somebody says something really stupid. I've never seen more than about 5 minutes of it before that happens. The commercials are the best part.

When can the Extra 50CC ARF from WH have non-overlay type cowls (to the fuse)?

Is there a wait on the V.2's, or are they ready to ship, cause thanks to this thread I'm ready to order one, can't wait to get it.......

.....and what does "AFAIK" mean?

If I understand your question you are asking if the Extras have the ring mounted cowl like the Edge with no visible fasteners and no fuselage overlap.

The answer is now, all the Extras in stock are like that, in fact all the planes we have are like that except the two 1.20 size planes.
