David,
There seems to be a misunderstanding here. I was not defending the Wild Hare against the BME, I really don't care who flys what. We were talking about wing area and weight. I did not fail to mention anything, you pointed out the post where everything was listed. Didn't you read it.
I personally hope the BME comes out better than the Wild Hare. That will give me another great plane to fly.
If the BME wing area is at least the same as the WH and it comes in at 15-1/2 lbs. Any 50 will be awesome.
My WH Edge with the DA-50 (not quite broken in) pull out of sight in no time.
I don't know what you read into the above from a previous post. It was meant to be nothing but positive......
