Especially a cheap one made in Vietnam, using only a little balsa and mostly cheap hardwood and plywood, put together with hot glue. Black Horse stuff is low budget for sure. I have had them.

Iwould think the Hunter, made by Feibao, to be a completely different market. Maybe this will be better than the typical Black Horse offering. But still very expensive for a balsa airframe.

RE: black horse now producing jets!
the boomerangs were balsa and a lot more money than this viper so the price is still good I think, its about time the jet boys had a run for their money

This is a 90mm EDF. It might be suitable for P20 conversion (or similar) but it's not in the same performance/size/price band as a Boomernag.

Or get the rebranded Graupner version. Looks nice but not sure I'd trust the thin built up wings.

£360 is the suggested selling price from Ripmax. I am sure when these hit the shops in July they will be more like £299 after a short while.I think a P20 or a 44 gold would fly this very nice and be a fun jet, Better than some of the foam offerings in this size

Yeah, but still made by the people who made the Bravo303 and that was the most unfortunate pile of garbage I have ever had the displeasure of owning. Have always thought of Black Horse being at the cheap end of the ARF market. Was a long time ago so maybe that has changed.

I don't work for black horse or any other brand but I have owned and still own one of their kits and I have never had any problems with any of them I admit the retracts are a bit poor quality but that's probably why you can choose your own with the viper

Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole, the P20 does nothing for me considering EDF's put out much more power and the fact that the last black horse model I touched was built together with a hot glue gun, the solarfilm was scorched in places and the overall structure was lacking strength in the firewall. For less than the price of this you could grab one of those full fibreglass hobbyking ones in red, much better quality and lighter I believe!

This is not guessing, but from IRL testing...

Plus when you have burnt the fuel off at the end of the flight you land considerably lighter than an EDF.............

Listen to some of the later fans they have captured that turbine whoosh. these days better fans ,better morors and better lipos make EDF a very viable option not to mention prices coming down all the time.
I know some turbine guys look down on edf but there are more and more turning up at jet meets.
