Thanks coxco......My kit was in the 170's so maybe they are getting better at this. I kind of figure that this might be a new factory for hanger 9 as these are made in Vietnam. Noticed this when sending mine back on Friday. The outer shipping boxes said "Product of Vietnam" didn't notice this before.

Please I don't see politics.if you can afford it and want it ....go for it.of course there's a bunch of us that can't part with that kind of money but don't it for those who can and want it.there are many pnl planes on the market that cost less .each to his own the important part is to just fly and have fun.i also see they have a corsair for 20 cc at 389.that looks like fun as well.warbirds aren't for everyone

Coxco,

Yours is a damned sight better than mine. I almost wish I didn't look at those pics you posted

A post # 190 over in RCG measured the engine mount depth at 158mm, this will eliminate several popular rear carb 60cc engines unless a hole is made in the firewall to fit the carb through.

I have been flying GS planes for more than15 yrs. with a hole cut in the firewall for carb breathing, it has never caused a problem. My first 3d plane had a ZDZ 80 with the carb behind the firewall using a spacer stack and longer carb bolts. It never even needed the mixture screws adjusted after the initial break in period.

Having a hole in the firewall is actually preferred. When adding a velocity stack, you always draw static air, which is desired. Just use a Forstner drill bit to cut the hole.

There already is a big hole in the firewall.

Well...I just received my new kit from Horizon as a replacement for the first that the covering and wood work were very bad. I am now on hold with HH as the new plane arrived with a stab that has broken and cracked sheeting. The areas that I wasn't happy with are mostly better on this one except for the broken stab. At this point I would NEVER recommend this airplane to anyone. It is just not worth the $850.00 that they charge for it. The 60cc Corsair was really nice.....NOT THIS PLANE!!!!!

One very unhappy customer....................

That is a lot of money. Sorry for your experience. I wonder if this is going to be a trend going forward?

Got a call back from HH customer service. All I can say is that I wish every company had the service the Horizon has given me so far. They are replacing both stabs and elevators. When I originally spoke to them (Larry I believe) about the airframe after they received it for inspection he offered to replace the plane or give me credit for something else. He was actually "pushing" me to do the credit instead of getting another Mustang. Wish I would have done that and just tried to sell the retracts (they will work in a Topflite or Aerworks mustang just fine). What a waste of money........

I expect them to stop selling them or they may go on sale very soon at deeply discounted prices.

Perhaps I can save you some grief - how much for the retracts? Do you also have the wheels?

Cheers

I have a new air frame so I kind of need the gear. I would sell as a package though. But thanks for the offer.

What a disappointment!!!! Next time they bring a plane to market I hope they just bring it out and forgo all the pre release hype. I really wanted this plane, but I think I'll pass.

Bummer... Its one thing to design and produce the plane but its another project to design and produce the box to ship it in. Looks like they are losing on both fronts.

Mine (#238) arrived without issues and as far as I can tell, most others have as well. Packaging was well designed with adequate protection of contents. Although I must say, it was very hard to disguise the fact that I added yet another plane when the recycle bin overflowed with cardboard and packing material!

Sorry about that!

Glad I decided to let everyone else get the bugs out after I saw the first couple posts and got my order cancelled just in time. I did go ahead with the Valiant and it is exceptional with the VVRC 40 twin

Yeah, I usually do the same. This is what I get for choosing to be a trailblazer....... I'll learn one of these days.

All those specially designed items that are not available, and then the quality is in the tank as well? Would like to see someone from HH chime in.
