L-60 Brigadýr 2668mm (105") Wingspan - ARF from Black Horse - BHM1025-001
The Black Horse L-60 Brigadýr brings the distinctive look and versatile flying qualities of this classic Czech utility aircraft to life in an impressive giant-scale ARF. With a generous 2668mm (105") wingspan and a lightweight balsa-and-plywood structure, the Brigadýr delivers smooth, stable flight characteristics and a commanding presence in the air.
Expertly constructed from all balsa and plywood, the airframe is covered in a high-quality, heat-shrink printed film that provides a clean, scale appearance straight out of the box. The large wing area, NACA airfoil, and well-balanced design contribute to predictable handling and relaxed flight manners, making the Brigadýr well suited for scale cruising, smooth approaches, and graceful landings.
Power system flexibility is a key strength of this design. The L-60 Brigadýr supports 30–35cc gasoline engines or electric power systems in the 2500–3200W range, allowing builders to tailor the setup to their preferred flying style. Robust oleo-strut landing gear is included for both the main gear and tail gear, providing reliable ground handling and durability on grass runways.
With its classic lines, forgiving flight behavior, and large, easily accessible airframe, the Black Horse L-60 Brigadýr is an excellent choice for pilots looking for a distinctive giant-scale aircraft that emphasizes stability, realism, and enjoyable everyday flying rather than extreme performance.

Commanding Giant-Scale Presence With a massive 105" wingspan, the L-60 Brigadýr makes an immediate statement. Its broad stance and authentic proportions deliver the unmistakable presence of this classic design only a true giant-scale model can provide. |
 |
Scale Landing Gear, Built In Shock-absorbing landing gear is included to handle the demands of a large airframe. Designed for smooth ground handling and confident operations, it complements the model’s size and weight perfectly. |
 |
Power System Freedom Configured to support both 30–35cc gas engines and powerful electric setups, the Brigadýr gives you true flexibility. A roomy internal layout keeps installations clean, accessible, and adaptable to your preferred power system. |
 |
Efficient, Builder-Friendly Assembly High levels of prefabrication reduce build time without sacrificing quality. Pre-hinged control surfaces, a factory-covered airframe, and quick-release plug-in wings make transport, assembly, and setup fast and straightforward so you spend less time building and more time flying. |
