Black Hawk Models

Over on stunthanger I read Larry Rice was announcing the close out of the brand.

I know most of us saw the announcement last year about this

Many of you know that my favorite airplane form the 70s was the Dick Mathis Mongoose

Just got off the phone with Larry to order 2 more Mongoose kits now $50 each...Yes he answers the phone on a Saturday!

Larry is 71 and is closing the doors this April so he can spend his end of days with wife and all the kids he helps stay out of gangs. Here is the notice on Stunthanger:

"Black Hawk models is closing down, as we are doing that we are closing out our large laser cut cuts. The Mongoose and the Apocalypse models are .29 tp .40 size models with 300 square inch wing area. These models should have been listed at $70.00 but to promote them we listed them at $60.00 - BUT now until they are sold out they are only $50.00 each. To see these models go to our web site - WWW.BLACKHAWKMODELS.COM and look under the "AC" section of the catalog.
This is a one time sale - when they are gone, they are gone!"

If you ever thought about bouncing up from 1/2a to a large plane for 52 to 60 foot lines, this is a great way to do so with a durable, inexpensive, fast building, forgivable, model that will fly well on a fox 35, McCoy 29-35, or any of the very inexpensive ASP/Magnum 25s and if you have the skill, a hot 35/36 combat engine will drag this bugger over 120MPH! This is a very good plane to learn to trim for stunt training or just fun sport flying.

The laser cut kits are excellent quality, good wood selection, and very good plans and building instructions
