well i,m about ready to fly. with a da150 and mtw canisters and the rudder servos in the rear it balances well at the rear wing location. and tom, i get a 40% and a 35% into my caravan by myself, and i,m over 60.

I maiden mine today and it flew really well. Not one click of anything for straight and level flight. It seems to pull left on up-lines and I'm thinking maybe a washer or extra right thrust. DA-150 on cans, pull pull with 2 - 7955's and one per elevator half and I had to use the rear wing tube to balance.

sounds like we have the same set-up. i,ll get mine out next week.

finally got a break in the weather. got 5 flights in today. all went smooth except for a piece of covering on the bottom that came off. it needs a touch more right and down thrust, but it flys super smooth. all stock except for the graphics

one more picture, harriers are rock steady

Hey Bobt2, where are you flying Ceder Creek?

usually, but not today. i have a field out east.

Paved runway?

north/ south paved. east/west grass

Hey Bobt2, so which club and where's the field? I belong to Whitman flyers and the L.I.A.R.S. and neither is really great for flying our type of stuff, I'm kind of interested in other options. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the response it seems like thats the common problem on L.I. Can't wait to finally pack it in and move somewhere with more open space and better year round flying weather, 40 deg on April 12 just doesn't cut it anymore. I am going to try to work on a permit for Ceder Creek soon though. Flew there last summer at one of the GS fly ins and had a nice time. I fly a 50cc WH suk and presently trying to finish up a WH 35% Edge so maybe we'll get a chance to meet up.

let me know when

Exactly what is the proper method of bolting the landing gear in place.

you have to get the gear on before the exaust goes in.i hold the nuts with a small wrench

just an update. i added 1/32 shims for both down and right thrust. much better tracking on uplines. the pull towards the canopy is gone

my continuing quest for perfect imac trim, i have found 1 wing panel weighs 3 oz more than the other. when rolling inverted, 1 wing always dropped.back home on the scale showed the difference. i added the 3 oz at the middle servo cutout that is not being used.

This past weekend was the Polar Bear IMAC here in the North West, my first try in Sportsman. The WH had 16 flights before the contest. I finished 5th out of 11 in Sportsman and won the Seniors. The plane is flying good. and I had a lot of people stopping to tell me how good it looked.

Is there any news on this airframe or a future 41%?

At this point I have no plans to get any more of them.

The plane remains viable, it's a great flying airplane, but the market right now does not justify the investment.

Maybe when the economy picks up.

Sorry to hear that Tom. I would have got another one in a heartbeat if they were available. Best plane I've ever flown.

I remember the first few flights - just dead on the money. Flew so precise it was refreshing. Had it down on the deck on the second flight. An awesome plane for sure!

I am trying to get hold of Tom from Wildhare I have been sending him emails at[email protected] but have had no responce. I am in Australia and just wonder if he is away or not working at the moment. I have a 41% extra and am in need of a left wing or a set of wings for the red on white scheme. can any one help me?
Cheers Mike</p>
