One of the very last piston engined fighters
to enter Royal Navy service, the Sea Fury had
the distinction of being the only such aircraft to shoot
down a Mig15 in combat during the Korean conflict.
The Black Horse Sea Fury FB11 is a very faithful model of
this classic fighter. Very little has been compromised from
scale to make sure that those classic lines are not lost. Even
the very complex curves have been replicated using balsa
shaping techniques unique to the Black Horse engineers.
Designed to use the popular 33 - 40cc petrol engines like
the OS GT-33 and the performance with that level of power
is exactly as you would expect...exhilarating! Wide loops,
graceful chandelles and long rolls are a joy to perform.
Control responses are strong yet progressive, thanks to
optimised areas and shielded hinge lines. Black Horse has
reduced hinge gaps to a minimum by using inset, fixed
hinges and pivot rods. Doing it the easy way with plastic
hinges was dismissed in the pursuit of scale detail and flight
performance.
Construction is from laser-cut balsa and ply parts that are jig
assembled and then covered in an authentic, printed vinyl
covering that is durable and damage resistant. There are
even some small pieces of the various colours included to
repair the odd ‘ding’.
The cowling is moulded in GRP to be both light and strong. It
is of course painted in matching colours to the vinyl. Detailed
mouldings are mixture of GRP and ABS according to need.
The cockpit and pilot are cases in point, and you would go a
long way to do better yourself!
The Sea Fury is fully equipped with air retracts as standard,
using totally new, metal-bodied units and sprung oleos.
