John Morley's 28% Wild Hare Edge 540T ARF! After 2 years of flying a glow engine trainer (Great Planes PT-60), and a glow engine sport plane (Sig Four Star 60), I really wanted to give Giant Scale gas engine powered models a try. Part of my rational is that my personal preference has always been "bigger is better" when it comes to models, and I was looking forward to operating a model without the mess of glow fuel operation. Coincidentally, while looking for a winter '03/'04 project, I came across the Wild Hare 28% Edge 540T ARF, an entry-level gas powered airplane, and immediately fell in love with the unique color scheme. It took me all of about 1 minute to call the manufacturer, and place my order! Unfortunately, I would have to wait about 2 months for delivery, as the airplanes were being manufactured in Thailand! Well, that gave me plenty of time to gather all the required parts and accessories to complete the model when it arrived!
