For those of you that are anxiously awaiting the arrival of your new 28% Wild Hare, and are climbing the walls in anticipation, there are a few things you can do to get ready before it arrives.

Go to the hardware store and pick up a bottle of Pro Bond Ultimate or Gorilla glue. It's the best stuff for the job. Also pick up a quart or so of acetone for clean up.

Order or obtain (4) 2-1/2" or 3" 10/32 cap screws from Micro Fastener or whomever. When you do that, order any extra nuts, bolts, srews, and washers that you need to stock up on for other projects. Also get some 10/32 blind nuts.

You will need one 18" servo extension for each servo mounted in the tail. You will also need at least a 12" extension for each aileron servo. Allow for an 18" extension for the throttle and choke servo if you are going to use one. A 12" extension will be the minimum length required for the throttle and choke.

Go to the fabric store and pick up about 4 feet of 1" wide velcro strips. That should be way too much, but you will have it on hand later.

Pick up a switch for each battery pack to be used. Get good ones.

Look to SWB or Air Wild for (5) 1-1/2" servo arms for the servos you will be using. You're going to need them. Avoid the plastic arms for good peace of mind. If you already have new servos you are goint to use, run them for awhile to assure that they are in good working order and are not going to fail in the first hour of flight. That's when they will usually go if they are going to.

Order or line up a surface defelection gauge. It helps a lot. So will an incidence meter so you can check all your angles. You should do this on any plane you build or assemble, anyway.

Take some time and read all the posts in the Wild Hare Forum for assembly information. There is NOTHING that has not already been covered here. Wild Hare is the only manufacturer that provides this kind of support for their products. Take advantage of the accumulated experience and knowledge that has already been posted.

Doing all the above will have you just about as ready as you can be when your new plane arrives. It doesn't take very long at all to get it assembled and in the air if you already have all that you will need.

I hope you all have as much or more enjoyment from your Wild Hares' as I have had so far. You will not be dissapointed.
