Airtech,

I didn't say I agreed with it, I just said it's there.

Every manufacturer is responsible for it's policies.

I would be pissed too if I didn't have any recourse... and would show my dissappointment through not buying anymore either.

Wild Hare is indeed a fine company, but when I was sold a plane that was supposed to be 16.5 lbs with a G-62 and then an announcement was made that the factory only had grossly heavy aluminum stock for gear and wingtubes... and that a "lighter version" would be made available at an extra cost of $25. I was a little put off. Was it MY fault that the manufacturer stiffed him and put 1/4" thick aluminum gear on the Edge and Extra and used a really heavy grade of aluminum for the wingtube? Nope... but instead of either eating the cost himself or forcing the factory to make good, he passed the cost onto those who had already ordered. Accpet the crap gear & tube or pay more for a proper set.

His very words in similar complaints was "It's reflected in the cost".

I paid the price, built the plane, and when it still came in over 17 lbs with a DA50, I sold it without flying it. I've never ordered another WH plane since. Not that they are not good planes... just not what I expected them to be. I since have flown both an WH Extra and Edge and haven't changed my mind about ordering them.

I think since then he's pushed the manufacturer to maintain a better grade of materials.

I don't think the attitude is right, because if anyone takes my money, they should give me what they said they would. If not, they should make good. If not... then my CC company will make good FOR me.
