Just what I need.....another warbird

Put me on the list for this one. Now if they would made a nice Zero to go along with it.

Why didnt they come out with this a year ago befor i bought a CMP Hellcat and when will they come out with a B-25 that will be the ticket

An observation..........

It would seem to be appropriate to mention at least one detail that would at least suggest the size of the sucker. You know, like maybe what engine it's designed for or maybe it's wingspan or planned weight. You think maybe they've not figured out what size that baby is going to be? Or maybe they want to build some suspense.... grin.......

I've noticed that Horizon really doesn't do what you'd call an excellent job with their website. chuckle.... Some people just ain't cut out for the job they're in. I've not bought a couple of things from them so far just because they do such a slack job of describing what they are offering. whatever......

The F6F was a fairly easy to fly airplane for a powerful fighter, so this model ought to be a good one. I look forward to reading all the details, maybe in Tower's online catalogue. I'm guessing from the price that it's not going to be a .46 size however.

The ad states: Hellcat 60 arf

I stand corrected.
Yes, the title line does what I thought wasn't done.
I hadn't bothered to look at that line since I was given the link into the ad and was interested in reading about the sucker. My bad.

But my rant is still just as valid about Horizon. Their descriptions are almost always lacking in "description". It's like they want to sell you with as few words as possible and don't want to run you off by quoting specifics that might not be what you're looking for. It's like they think you'll be so excited you'll buy their stuff without checking to see if the engine you've got will fit, or the spare servo's you got will be strong enough, etc. But truth is, that's not really a big deal. I shouldn't have said a thing, but it was late and I'd just spent a wasted hour in their website trying to find out some details on something they're the importer of, and I was ticked at them.

I agree that Horizon's web site is more difficult than some to navigate around on but I do think they do a good job of giving you the information you need. You can find the weight and size as well as recomended engine by right clicking on the "details" tab. You can download video on most of their planes. You can also download the manual. They offer an 800 number at the bottom of each page if you have any further questions and also have a "comments" tab where you can tell them what you think of their web page. All the information is there that I need when buying from them but then again I am a Graphics Designer spending an average of 10-12 hours a day on the computer.

Plane looks good. Probably will be similar in size to their Mustang 60 so about 65" wing. Saito 100 should do the trick.

Don't expect to see it at Tower. Hangar 9 is Horizon's house brand.

chuckle, chuckle, yeah we won't be seeing it in the Tower catalogue will we.

Wonder if it will have the same issues as the other H-9 warbirds? Thin firewalls, rotten landing gear etc.....

If it has all the positive characterisitcs (excellent flying quality, light wing loading, nicely applied covering and graphics, good customer support, nice building manual) it will be a success, like the Mustang, Corsair, and P-47....

My! It sure is shiney!!!! []

For a flat tri-color scheme that is. They should have done it in the late war overall glossy sea blue scheme.
