Flew my Wildhare 28% Extra yesterday and it is sweet! I should say that one of my club's instructor pilot's flew it as I was pretty tired and did not feel mentally sharp enough to go it alone. The plane was originally set up for a DA 50 but I used a converted Poulan 46cc chainsaw motor turning a Pro-Zinger 20x10 prop. I was skeptical as to the power of the Poulan being enough but the first flight eliminated all doubt. The only problem we had was the high speed needle vibrating off its setting. That was easily fixed with a short piece of fuel tubing in front of the tension spring.
The plane tracks right where you point it and does all the aerobatics I care to do. I am not a 3D guru and just enjoy doing the basic stuff. Knife edge exhibited a little pull towards the canopy but I have since dialed in some elevator coupling with rudder. I look forward to many enjoyable flights!
Happy Flying!

Congrats! Good job noticing the needle setting- I have had that hapen without realizing and it took A WHILE before I realized that was a culprit-
