Any idea on the date Mike?

IMO
The wild hare is larger and a little heavier. It was meant as a plane that can use the 80cc through the 115 cc motors

The hangar 9 is purpose built for the Da 85 and other 80cc engines. It is a really good sized plane but still really light for the power of the DA85.


You could put a number on it and call the Wild hare a 35% @~25 pounds and the hangar 9 a 33%@~22pounds Its not fair to compare the 2 planes since they are in different size classes.

Any excuse to write some of my opinions out for the net .


id like to hear what you think comparing this plane to the 33%sd yak, the specs are similar with the sukoi being a tad longer and wider with a smidge more wing area, i had my name on the list for the yak, says they are in stock but they havnet called me so i am not locked in for sure, i have a zdz80 without a home and narrowed it down to these 2 planes, i fly mainly 3d type stuff at the moment but have recently wanted to get in to the imac sequence, the sukoi seems to me like it may be more sleek in the air and may make for a better pattern flyer than a yak, any comments? everybody with a yak and an extra for example say the yak is better for 3d only and the extra does imac and 3d well, i am curious if the sukoi may fill the need for me in both areas...

I like this sukoi over the SD based on just the control horns the sd has the
