Are you going to offer a 40% size plane anymore? I have heard rumors.....

rctom

Regarding a 40% plane it's not cxlear at the moment. IT depends on the economy, those planes ell very slowly when people don't have a lot of spare $$$ to throw around.

Here are a few pictures of the new 88" Edgfe 540.

That's what I was thinking. Either that or the blue and yellow

Do you know when the flamescheme is shipped to England?

rctom

I guess this is a good time to announce that Probuild is no longer carrying the Wild Hare products.

Probuild recently had some internal problems, I am not sure of the details but we (Wild Hare and Probuild) have mutually decided to end our relationship.

Wild Hare can still ship directly to England or almost any other European country for about the same delivered price as Probuild was charging.

Also, we have a new European distributor, you may contact them for most of our newer planes. They just received a shipment within the past week.

Simon communicates well in English. Hungary is a EU country so shipping and customs should be very simple.

yeh, i put my hanger 9 35% extra in a couple weeks ago. not sure what happened but it went into lock out and spun in from 500 plus feet. not much left of that so now i am waiting for a new wildhare 35%. my 41% wildhare was a great flying plane and i believe the 35% will be just as good. tom knows how to build a airplane.

Tom,

Anychance on some pics of the RBB in the 35% extra260? Or is it just the same as the SU?

rctom

Don't have any photos of RBB on the Extra yet. Just blue on top, gray on bottom, yellow cowl and hatch.

Here is the first Royal Hare Extra 260 to be completed, by me. The blue in the photos shows much lighter than it actually is, and the plane is absolutely beautiful.

This one has a DL-100, and I'm using inexpensive chinese servos. 180 oz. metal gear they work pretty darned well, good centering, plenty of power, strong gear set and dual ball bearings. I tore one down to see what's inside, it looks pretty much like any other servo. No shoddy workmanship that is obvious. I may start selling these things if they last ok in this plane.

Using these servos I can sell this plane for $1,999.00, complete except for radio. That includes 2 2300 mah A123 battery packs and a small nimh ignition pack. It also includes the DL-100 engine with mufflers and ignition and 10 servos, prop and Dave Brown 5" spinner.

To this you would need to add receiver and switches and you'd want to get better servo arms, and shipping is of course extra. Everything else is there, and it's a fast-build plane that's pre-hinged (pocket hinges) and canopy is already attached to the hatch.

This new plane has a much longer and roomier canister tunnel too.

Wow... Looks great Tom,

Are you gonna get some video of the Royal getting put through the paces?

How's the response time on those servos?

Thanks,

hk.

Nice plane Tom! Are your 35% extras ready to ship yet?

rctom

I'm not much at making videos, sorry.

This plane was shipped over early, the rest of them are in the container that is on the way, due end of October or a few days later.

The servos are quite responsive. I've been flying them in the wings of my 50cc extra and they work great. They aren't digital but the value of digital servos has been greatly overstated, there's nothing wrong with good analog servos in 90% of all installations.

The only question on these servos is durability. I have a couple dozen servos out to various testers, it will take some time to get long term results. In the meantime if anybody wants to test them, undertstanding that things can go wrong, I'll get some more in and sell them for $20 each.

Tom,

How long would it take for you to get those servos in? also... do you have the specs on them at 6v?

Thanks,

hk.

rctom

I can get them in a week or two. They are 180 oz. at 6v, speed is something likie .16 sec for 60 deg.

Same standard size as most others, they use a Futaba type arm.


TF

hk

Sounds good... Should i just fill out a WH order form and email it to you? I think i'll probably take 8 of them.


Thanks,

hk.

Tom,
Do those servos come with any arms and if so what lengths?
Thanks,
Darrol

My Feedback: (1)

They come with a standard type set of servo arms. The basic wheel, +, 6 arm star, and double arm in 1" lengths. The factory arms are suitable for the average .25 to 1.20 size plane. Optional arms will be needed for heavy duty, large deflection 3d use.

Tom,
From the info i've gathered on your site and here, are you getting some baby extras in sometime in November? If so, any changes and what is the color scheme? Thanks.

rctom

No, that's wrong. Baby Extras will be next year some time, not before.

Are there any either in or available of the RBB extra 100cc yet ?
