Steve Colman Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Not quite sure if this is the best place to post but here goes. I'm thinking of buying the Black Horse Orbit. Has anyone had, or know anyone who's had any experience of this model? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old yorkie Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 hello steve, i have had the orbit for just over a year now and, despite the weather curtailing a lot of flying i have found this a very nice flying air plane. the only problem i have had was with a very hard dead stick landing, when the under carraige almost pulled out. since beefing up this area everything has been good. i am flying with a sc52 fs. sounds really nice.

John Lee Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Posted by Percy Verance on 23/05/2013 19:16:55: I'm given to understand the Orbit is a close copy of the Hangar 9 Toledo Special. It certainly has striking similarities. It's about half the price too..... It may have been inspired by the Toledo Special but I would not call it a 'close copy' there are considerable differences. I'd say the Toledo Special is far sleeker & more attractive and is a better aerobat, but taste is of course quite subjective. I've flown an Orbit at the R/C Hotel a few times (there's a thought Steve - get yourself out there for a test flight!) & have a Toledo Special myself. The Orbit is a nice flying machine, a good sport flyer with aerobatic capabilities & if you like the looks I'd recommend it. However if I was to write off my 4 year old Toledo Special tomorrow I'd replace it with another one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
