Official Black Horse Models Announcement Thread

[CF-105]

Holy crap! Great looking planes. Love the detail on the Corsair’s tail gear and hook. You guys are killin’ me with all the gorgeous giant warbirds.

[OV10]

Alpha...……...quick question on the Corsair
The Pichler product description page under the "product features" indicates * 3-pcs. detachable main wing with aluminum wing joiner
I downloaded from the manual tab the "New improvement" BH64 Instruction Manual Book for the 2310mm Corsair and it shows a 2 pc wing
Darn..........was hoping for a 3 piece like what TF did with the Hellcat. Can you set the record straight on whether it is 2 or 3 piece configuration.????

[TiredIronGRB]

Stunning detail...

[Twowingtj]

Love it! Bring them on!

[handyman220]

Ohhh no!!

[Alpha]

So much for preparing our website's product pages before we announce these upcoming products...

I can confirm that these are not just repaints, these are largely new birds that I have personally handled up close at the factory in Vietnam, with meaningful improvements in several areas compared to their previous versions. The Corsair and P-40 are my favorites compared to their predecessors from Black Horse.

It's the weekend for our guys Stateside and we weren't planning on talking about these birds just yet, but c'est la vie. More info to follow, so if you're not already, 'might as well Subscribe to this thread

In the meantime, here's a peek and some of what we've been working on with Black Horse:


Big 2280mm wingspan Corsair(50-65cc):




The Corsair's articulating tail wheel, in and out:







2075mm (50cc-60cc) P-47 in flight with its factory-weathered RealWear covering (Gorgeous multi-sheen finish):



Factory-applied RealWear covering on the 2276mm P-40 (60cc):





"Something for everyone" keeps on rolling

Blackhorse seem to be redoing the colour schemes some of their planes,

on the Pichler site

https://shop.pichler.de/-Warbird

they show the new schemes for the large Tomahawk , Corsair and Thunderbolt as well as the new 60cc size Zero

and some of them will come with electric retracts included

any possibilities of the proctor being available soon.. i hate to order from eu shipping is tough......

[Papadave418]

Any plans for a P-51? I know a lot of mustangs have been done, but I’m not a fan of Hangar 9’s options and CARF are out of my price range. BH seem to be in the middle

Black Horse is a small factory. Chances that we can keep everything in stock all the time will likely be 0. They prefer to take their time and produce a very high quality airplane with expert employees. They don't want to expand and use new employees who may not be true artisan craftsman and they don't want to rush. I can understand and personally I prefer a high quality plane to a high volume plane with questionable quality. The next shipment of Black Horse planes just left the factory today. It should be here in about 40 days or so. The planes in this shipment are the exact same as the ones on our website with a a surprise or two (no, not the DO-335).
At the same time I ordered the replenishment of the existing models, I placed a second order for new models which are not on our website. I don't have an ETA for that second order and I don't want to say which new planes I ordered as I don't know what is going to get produced and shipped or when they are going to ship. Ideally, I want to have just about every plane Black Horse makes but it is going to be a very slow very long process. Again, they are a small, low volume, high quality factory who can't pump out endless amounts of planes but I know I will enjoy seeing each plane come in even if it is not as often as we would all like.

Not only waiting for the Dornier 335......I just bought the Seagull Cessna O2 …..want some push pull stick time
Bring on the Dornier

[CF-105]

BH has a number of tempting offerings. I struggle to pick a top choice. So many planes that no one else makes!

[Twowingtj]

Oxotnik Several of us sailing in that same boat. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

[Oxotnik]

Still saving my pennies for a Do-335

[Twowingtj]

So I see some planes are back in stock. Are there any new arrivals, and we’re just waiting for them to appear on the Motion website?

Good question CF-105. Tom did mention, back on Sept 12th above, that a surprise or two should have come in with the restocking order. Waiting to see what they might be.

Still waiting for the Do-335 and one other model later on down the road. Once those two are in the hangar, other BH models will be picked up. Several on my radar.

Thanks for the post, Tom!

The more I read about BH the more I want to try their planes. Small, quality focused with more than “garden variety” offerings appeals to me (if they are taking suggestions, I’d almost kill for a Boulton-Paul Defiant, say 20cc size or so).

Counting down the days till the next shipment arrives!

Thanks for the update Tom. Was hoping the Do-335 would be on the way. Quality over quantity is a good thing with wood ARFs for sure. There is so much more that goes into a wood ARF than most foam PNP planes.

Looks like the BH models are moving pretty well - over half the selection brought in now show out of stock! Any word on when the next batch will arrive, and what might be included?

Well I received another Blackhorse Model here in the Land Down Under a BH-166 Fairey Albacore
Normally i would post some competed pictures but unfortunely this ones seems to a slipped though quality Control.

Currently trying to return it to the dealer..

Anyways

here are the pictures of the model as recieved.





and the response from blackhorse

#1 .That is not damage .It’s just the creases of covering film .In locate #1 .We used the balsa thick 8-9mm and so hard , impossible damage ..

a zoomed picture of the crease..



hmmmm that's a crease :(

Hope to hear positive action on this soon - the person that provided the response should not even be allowed to issue such a reply. Keep us posted and march up that ladder to someone with more intelligence and tact.
