I have looked at this plane for a long while. I am so glad I finally made this purchase. The plane is far beyond my expectations. I have built for many years and feel somewhat accomplished but I can not equal the beauty or quality the kit offers. Great job to black horse.

The Fairchild F-24 is my favourite model. Looks fantastic in the air. I have a Saito FG-41TS in mine and it sound great. Fly mostly at half throttle.

The Fairchild is one very awesome plane. Packaging, construction, fit and finish are all over the top. I have very few complaints if any at all (maybe just the screws, should be hex) Mines fitted out with a 245KV Brushless, 120AMP Esc, running on 12s.The 12s setup is perfect, 2-6s 5000mh fit perfectly in battery well. Turning a 19x10 prop. Flying this beast is an absolute pleasure, takeoffs & slow flybys are rock steady, punching into full throttle is a rush. Landings are easy with such a lofty set of wings. By far, she’s my favorite flyer.

Ok, the plane is absolutely amazing, the construction is over the top quality and appearance is a 12 out of 10, definitely a looker. A minor build issue is the supplied hardware (Philips heads vs socket…I always use socket so no big deal) Now to the flying…Wow! This thing is a beast and it does what you want too. Take-offs are super scale like, no big P Factor issues. Flights are like on rails, loops, rolls and slow flybys are easy. Landing is a breeze, slows down like a cub. Used 245 KV brushless, 120Amp ESC, runs on 12s 5000s.

Awesome plane, the construction is over the top, light weight and super strong. The build is a little challenging at times, just dry fit everything before gluing or drilling. The hardware is typical of an ARF, I chose to use my own. Don’t trust the dimensions on the manual, verify everything thing first. All in all, the plane is by far amazing, my build is 100%, maiden this week.

Wow! If you are looking for a first class arf, this is it! I usually build from kits and I can honestly say I can’t compete with Black Horse.

Very well built, Black Horse is become my favorite brand plane. I have also purchased a Westland Lysander packed and build, very well. Love both planes.
