RE: New Black Horse Models Gilmore Lion?
I had one of the first once, which came on the market and still fly em, all depends on the your style, if you know what I mean!
Too me the air frame is OK and the price was right for the size.
Hope you will have as much fun as I have.

You are right the landing gear design is a joke. I have posted a number of mods that have help keep everything on the wing from destroying the wing. They do help but had a hard landing in a crosswind and literally destroyed the wheel pants. The cuff and strut covers were fine because of the mods. The last straw was trying to get parts for the last three months. ''Sorry we have no parts for the gear'' They have no idea when they will get any. I have since pieced together the wheel covers as best I could but have not flown it since. It has about a dozen flights with decent take offs and landings but all it takes is one hard landing and it is done
