Mark Reynolds Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hi Guys, Just noticed this on Black Horse's webpage; it looks very tasty indeed. Has anyone seen one or got any more info?? **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 No-one's listing it yet, or at least nothing shows on Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Barwick Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hi guys, the black horse model is excatly the same kit as the old graupner. there is a forum on rc groups with a build. i have one and is a lovely kit, currently doing a cockpit mod as the pilots were way out and due to change to undercarriage as its only single strut in the kit. is also a shame about the green as its a little bit garish.

Mark Reynolds Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 I see what you mean. It looks like a nice model. Im guessing there must be a couple of electric hatches on it. I will keep an eye out for price etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Barwick Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 There is a large central hatch where everything goes the battery slides into the front of the nose where the glazing is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Cooper Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 It looks good . . . but I am wondering why they made it so small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon H Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Posted by David Davis on 17/05/2017 06:40:11: Has anybody flown one of these yet? i have flown one that belongs to a friend. its seriously over powered with 2 enya 46 4 strokes and as the thrust lines in the kit arent quite right its a bit of a handful at times. The wing is also not the best for providing lift so its quite fast. We cranked the flaps and ailerons down a few degrees to help it out and now some downthrust has been applied it is better to fly. Looks great in the air though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Davis Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 That's interesting. I was thinking of flying mine on a pair of OS 48 Surpass engines. If they are going to seriously over-power this model,can anybody recommend an ARTF twin which would suit the OSs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon H Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 You would never get the 48's in as they are too large. They would be pretty brutal performance wise too. If you are not against some balsa bashing check out the warbirds Bf110 thread. It would be spot on for the 48's and there might be a few kits spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Reynolds Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Seagull models have a new mosquito out in August 17. A nice fit for those 48's I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am planning eventually to build a Mike Booth Blenheim for a pair of your 70s and just wanted an ARTF twin to practice on. The HE111 appealed because of its large wing and tail areas. As for building a Bf110, I am renovating a house at the moment and renting another so that means that I have two gardens to keep in shape plus the building works. I am also finishing off a Baron 1914, a DB Sport and Scale Auster and an ARTF Acowot. After those I have the Hurricane to build, which will be my first model with re-tracts, so I really don't have the time for a Bf110 even if one appealed to me. I have more than enough challenges to deal with for the moment! . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
