Fred Keegan Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 My pal Brian rang me the other day saying he had fallen in love with an ARF MOSQUITO and should He buy It. Brain as not learned to fly yet he has a trainer ready for the summer. Any way to cut a long story short he turned up today at my home with a large box so we put it together . It comes with every thing fitted, working lights, retracts all wired up and almost ready to go. You just glue in the wings and tail ( glue provided ) screw in the motors fit the props and spinners, plug in and bind and off you go. It,s one of the nices model aircraft i have ever worked on, I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi Fred I too love the mosquito, was really looking forward to YT doing one but it never seems to have happened. The Blackhorse one looks nice but a bit too small. Whose version is this one then? Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ashby - Moderator Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yes been seeing these on forums recently, Hobby King sell them too from the EU warehouse. The fin seems a little big but it undeniably very pretty. Let us know how it flies Fred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Keegan Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I know that i am changing the subject but i was building a B17 about a year ago and I had to leave for nearly a year due to ill health. It was fitted out with air retracts, pipe ,valves and all the other bits that go with them. So I spoke to lad I was building it for and asked if we could change them for the new electric 120 size E-flite ones and we did. much better than air all you have is 1 y-lead and that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpy1071 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 i there look on this site, nitrogenrc and there is no postage charged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose10 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Brian,there is no postage charged , but they do a stealth tax right at the end when you go through the payment process. Be careful.http://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=47408Ive got my HC Mosquito built and ready to go (just in time for the gusty weather.... ..)

Kozmyk Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I finally gave in on Weds and ordered one from HK DE £157.87 delivered.It's likely to be a while before I'm ready to fly it, skillwise, but it'll be there waiting when the time comes. AND I'll have plenty of 3s 2200mAh thanks to my helis. The Durafly Spitfire has caught my eye as well. Though I'm more of a Hurricane fan, that Spit looks a good sized aeroplane for the money. The wish list get's ever longer:Multiplex Fun Cub - 3s 2200 Durafly Spitfire - 3s 2200E-Flite Hurricane - 3s 3200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchweight Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 well come on then, how do they fly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plane Addict Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 When I saw this thread, I had to lookup youtube for a (flight) video. This is one video I found (not flying): I like the leds in the wing and the retracts, maybe a little too fast for scale. Then I found another video... gotta have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plane Addict Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Incl shipping, this Mosquito from Hongkong is US$ 240 and about 25% of that amount for tax. From German warehouse it's US$ 244 including GLS courier shipping and no additional tax (to my country, The Netherlands). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
