Default Hardware packs

What do you all think about the hardware package that Wildhare offers?? Is it better to get the items separate??

I'm not making a sales pitch here, but I want to point out that I use everything in the kit when I put a plane together here for testing. This means that it's all been tested and is known to work together and to fit the plane properly, that's one of the benefits. You don't add to your collection of things "things that I bought that wouldn't fit when I got home".

Let me second that! I'm famous for not using the hardware that comes with a kit, and yet when I got my WildHare, I used the hardware kit completely! There was very little else needed, and nothing in the hardware kit was unusable. I'm pretty particular about what kind of hardware I use, and Tom's stuff is all good! Only thing I didn't use was the fuel line, and that's only a personal preference thing. It would have worked fine, I just like the blue stuff better.

Get the Edge.
I used every piece of hardwear that Tom sent, works perfect and saved me tons of time and trouble getting them myself.

Is there a listing available somewhere of the parts included in the 28% hardware kit?

Dubro giant scale rudder horns
Nelson RCL69 swivel clevises and 8/32 horn shafts
Dubro pull/pull kit
Dubro axels
Sullivan Skylight tires and wheels
Dubro 24oz gas tank and gas stopper
numerous 4mm phillips screws and washers
(2) carbon fiber rods with several 4/40 threaded rods for inserts
Sullivan golden clevises
Robart hinge points
Dubro Tygon fuel line (3 feet)
Slide pins and fender washers for wing anti rotation pins
and a bunch of other stuff that I have forgotten about

It's all quality stuff. You can chase it down and spend more, or save time and money and get it with the kit. Your option.

Minor corrections;

The hinges and 4mm screws are included with every plane, they are not part of the hardware kit.

The fuel system inclides a nice fuel dot and tee.

Instructions on how to quickly make the strongest pushrods available are included in the kit.

Improvements are always being worked on, suggestions are welcome. Remember that any addition must go in every kit, so if only 10% of people use it it just increases everybody else's cost.
