Having been in rc since childhood I see levels of quality and finish have taken a big jump. Years ago you'd build for a year to get something like that accomplished
Frickin' Awesome! Now that's a plane! But you guys need to offer a line of more realistic pilot figures for our planes. I buy the few "Aces of Iron" figures they make, to make my planes really pop!
yeah, but we don't mind some of the smaller companies that specialize in those getting a piece too ya know? I am going to throw a wash on this figure and detail it best I can. See if I can get it to pop more
The Top RC kit is nice, but this kit includes the electric retracts which are about a $700 additional price on the Top Flite to compare. But either way, prices for everything have gone up everywhere, just the nature of the world at the moment.
Those servos are the bottom of the barrel and as an experienced gas flyer I would not use those. You should reccomend digital 150 oz + servos for 50cc and bigger. Remember these planes are dangerous when not built correctly!!!! Lives depend on it!!!!
They are using a standard dummy engine plate. Unfortunately it's wrong. Its a 9 Cyl plate that would suit a US warbird, 18 Cyl engine as the first row. The Zero used the Nakajima 14 cyl engine same as the Ki43 Oscar so needs a 7 cyl dummy front plate I use UMS radials. On my big warbirds. 9 Cyl 115cc for US and 7 cyl 90s for Zero and Oscar. I use animated warbirdpilots.com exclusively for my big warbirds with the RC Geeks random motion generators. Blackhorse make a great range of Models I have quite a few. Motion RC provide a fantastic service and I am a keen customer of theirs. They have the best International shipping rates around I live in OZ. Its model building time around the world for the next few months. Appreciate these unpack and build videos.
I looked at the diameter of both the cowl and the fg-90-r3 in the manuals and it will fit with with about 10mm to spare. If i were building i might go with the ums 75cc 5 cylinder, will fit with more space to spare but is a bit more $$
Could have done without 2 full unboxing spoilers within the first minute. Kind of takes the fun out of it. Same with showing all the details BEFORE the unboxing itselfe, seems you are starting at the end and working your way to the start. Just an opinion.
I cant figure out why you guys focused so much on electric. I giant like this needs a gas engine. I hope the manual comes with some templates for a different variety of engines like hangar9 does. Beautiful bird though.
@@yannickcoombe5420 Not really. There's some nice little planes available for 120-150 bucks. Just go look on motions website at some of the toss and boss prop planes or 64mm jets. There are some fantastic planes for less than $300. Inexpensive doesn't mean it's just crap, and expensive doesn't always guarantee quality.
@@shelbyseelbach9568 I never said that, I have been very satisfied with inexpensive tools and plane things but I have also had some bad experiences with cheap lipos and plane bits n bobs. Without a doubt you can get great deals and they will last too, but the more expensive things generally speaking are better in some cases. I have been ripped off a couple times with expensive lipos that arrived at 2.00v per cell and I received no replacement, the manufacturer didn't even reply.
Now you have a project. This one is cool James. 👍🏼👍🏼😎✌🏻✌🏻

I could only imagine. The work assembling this is already enough for me
Agreed!
Agreed!
@@MotionRC I can remember scanning the tower hobbies catalogue, was the "website" of it's day...lol
That's a work of art! Way beyond my level at the this time but maybe one day.
A tip: watch movies at Kaldrostream. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Jaden Reginald yea, have been watching on kaldrostream for months myself =)
It is a beautiful bird! I want to do it someday!
these are the perfect days to do it!
Yup that is def huge..Thats a big..awsome stuff James...
This plane is the size of a literal black horse!
Beautiful ARF 🤙
Thanks Bill!

Wow! that's a great looking plane!
It's big. ✈😎💖
There's that coffee mug again!!! I only have two mugs. And I need another.
Shit! this balsa kit went up in price $1,38900! I might consider the composite Top RC kit.
The Top RC kit is nice, but this kit includes the electric retracts which are about a $700 additional price on the Top Flite to compare. But either way, prices for everything have gone up everywhere, just the nature of the world at the moment.
Superb model only problem is that the people who buy them don’t know how to fly em !🤣
WOW !

Have these servos in all my balsa aircraft currently. They work great for me, but to each their own
@@MotionRC all your balsa planes are 50cc cool👍
not a true builders plane-all the fun is done!
Nice

Sounds like designing and printing a mod is the way to go.
@@SVSky Yes that would work well.
yeah they give you 7 exhaust ports for a 9cly dummy engine.
Just shipping that box to Canada would cost more than my entire rc collection is worth.
nice video viet nam
you know if the Black horse A6M Zero model would fit a Saito FG-90R3 engine
It should! Check out our Live show Episode 12 (playlist on our youtube channel page). Our product designer answers a few of those questions
Hi Ricardo, one of the viewers in our previous Live show confirmed that it would fit, with very tight clearance within the stated cowl measurement.
@@alphamrc309 ok thanks for reporting

It about information more than fun, but we did a live unboxing of this aircraft prior to this

Is this available in Europe? Cheers!
What is the covering material?
wile it looks great, those rivets or rivet decals, are huge! way to big
Beautiful kit but at $1,000. it's way too rich for me, this hobby sure is getting expensive.
I guess you get what you pay for!
Nah, you can still participate in this hobby for fairly cheap.
The problem is our tastes get more and more expensive!
Lol.
But the quality is always compromised.
