Official Black Horse Models Announcement Thread

Yes I updated the specification as it was missed in the last edit. I didn't feel the need to come on here and post about the fix but since it was brought up and to OV10's points, there are various factors that go into updating our specification and requirement sections when applicable. Our goal is to always provide our customers with accurate requirements/specs from day one but sadly for numerous reasons, that isn't always the case and I need to make revisions/edits when necessary. The goal is to eliminate the need to fix or edit anything once product pages are published but alas, these things do occur from time-to-time.

Earlier today on the product specifications page it said two 6 cell 5000 mAh packs required. Somebody today at Motion RC made the change. It would be great if they would admit the mistake. If you look at the Black Horse Models web site they recommend the Great Planes rimfire 160 which Motion RC does not carry.

Over the years I've seen spec errors published with new product releases by many manufactures/distribuitors.
Most of the times these errors are corrected unbeknownst to the average consumer while at other times they are corrected because of notification by a consumer.
About 2 weeks ago I saw an error on the newly introduced ProFly OV-10 Bronco product page regarding power requirements and it was acknowledged by Stuart of Motion and was corrected.

I really don't see the need for them(Motion) to have to go on a public "falling on the sword" campaign as you suggested about admitting mistakes.
It was caught and corrected hopefully before anyone acquired equipment that was not satisfactory.
If that did occur, the exemplary customer service of Motions makes it right.
The key to these type of ARF's is that the REQUIRES is a RECOMMENDED and not an absolute.
It is great that Motion is introducing a whole new venue of balsa ARF's, but along with the choices it allows to modelers it also requires some due diligence by said modelers when picking electrical equipment. ;)

What motor will work with the recommended TWO 6S 22.2V 5000mAh LiPo Batteries (required) on the product page from motion RC for there Black Horse Models Fairchild?

I can't find anywhere on the Fairchild product page about two 6S power.
The product page clearly says in 2 different areas about using two 4S in series for a 8S setup with the recommended motor > we recommend the Admiral GP26 6330-245kV Brushless Motor

• For 8S setup TWO 4 Cell 14.8V 5000 mAh LiPo Batteries with EC5 connector - we recommend TWO Admiral Pro 5000mAh 4S 14.8V 60C LiPo Batteries with EC5 Connector
• 2 to 1 EC5 series adapter - we recommend Admiral EC5 2 to 1 Series Adapter

I had two Black Horse P51s .91 NIB which I ended selling, weak retracts surface area, mechanical retracts (junk), covering was clean, but line patterns way off, rudder, elevator needed a lot of work to make it fit, cowl paint started peeling off and have not even started assembling. Sold them both through CL, took a loss, but was happy to recover some of it.

Had a .40 size Blackhorse Spitfire, elevator snapped in a loop, completely destroyed.

Good to hear, as a fan of Brit fighters, would be great to see more pics if you have them, or a video.

Thanks for sharing.

The Typhoon is flies great very easy to fly used a Power 160 on 10s 5000 with 18 inch Ramsor Varioprop under a

Brian Taylor scale spinner (not shown on pic)
Props set to about 8 inch pitch.

Extra graphics are from Callie Graphics.
I left the rockets off so I can store the wings easier. also used a robart air valve and quick connects..

How do you like the Typhoon? What's your set-up?

I may have to get a Wilga. They are so ugly they're cute.

Want to see a beautiful one? Do a YouTube search for "Wilga Draco". This one was completely rebuilt and now is a Turboprop. This one can jump off the ground after what seems to be a 3 ft roll and stop almost as quick when he goes into Beta. There's a complete series on the rebuild. It's just amazing.

i was looking at the bh models westland wyvern 50cc size . 88inch w/s but only 20 lbs wing loading is low for the size. that's a different model you don't see often.

[axerhand1976]

terminater is the reason I bought there bh model zero, and he was correct that plane flies so nice...

Sign me up for the 335!!!

For all of the fellow Squawkers that are interested in the Do-335, please post in the unofficial BH Do-335 thread. Thanks.

Yes they are all electric , don't fly gas..

Same here. Have up to 100cc size and 147" wingspan birds that are electric. It costs a bit more when you get that big but, they start every time, and have never had one stall out.

Can hardly wait to add the Do-335 and a few other BH birds to the hanger.

[Oxotnik]

The Do335 flies like a pattern plane very smooth and stable , tracks as straight as a arrow ( hehe) dosn't stall easily and when it does it drops a wing slightly .
i used a CW prop on the rear and normal CCW prop on front..
also opened up the under fuse scoop to let air into the rear motor ( also lets in grass BTW hahaha )
Takeoff I use half flap and landings u have to keep fairly flat for obvious reasons :)

How well does the Do-335 fly? Any weird interactions with the pusher/puller motors?
