Blackhawk Cyclone
« on: March 24, 2012, 08:05:32 PM »
 I am starting a Blackhawk Cyclone and not sure what motor to put on it. I have cox bees, Black Widow,TD 049 or even a norvel big mig 049 sitting around. With the beam mount I was thinking baloon tank. Any thoughts? Thanks Rick

I would put together the best Black Widow you can with the parts on hand. 

If possible, assemble a few, bench run 'em and put he second best engine on for the test flight and save the best for the contest.  The Cyclone is a possible winner.

Hello,

I just received a Cyclone kit today,
I love the way it was packed, all the little packets with the parts inside, the paper band around the instructions etc, Very professional, nice touch.
I will be buying more black Hawk kits when I can afford, most work out to around $50 AUS, with postage.
Regards
David.
