This is a Black Horse ARTF model designed for a 1.20 4-stroke. However, not being a fan of glow I fitted a DLE20 petrol engine which runs 'sweet as a nut' and has plenty of power. The Motor box/Firewall will need to be reinforced to facilitate this. Wheel spats yet to be fitted and I'll need to find a pilot bust for the 'office'.
This is a nicely made model covered with Profilm/Oracover and well finished. All sheeted fuselage and good hardware pack. Only problems were the wire undercarriage which was badly aligned and was subsequently re-engineered by 'Barnes Engineering' (Thank you Tony) The fuel tank required repositioning and securing and the motor box had to be shortened to accomodate the DLE20. All worth while in the end.
I've only had two flights with it at this time and would comment that the model is quite lively. The take off needs to be carefully controlled as it has a great preponderance to ground loop. Nearly caught me out. The stall is quite benign. A pugnacious looking 1500mm wingspan model which will fit into my Ford Galaxy fully rigged.
