Overview
Dornier DO335 1724mm (67.8") Wingspan from Black Horse - Balsa Wood ARF - BHM1004-001
The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil ("Arrow") was a German World War II heavy fighter built by the Dornier company. The two-seater trainer version was called Ameisenbär ("anteater"). The Pfeil's performance was much better than other twin-engine designs due to its unique push-pull configuration and the lower aerodynamic drag of the in-line alignment of the two engines. It was Nazi Germany's fastest piston-engined aircraft of World War II.
The model is scaled to approximately 1/8 and attention was paid to a true to original appearance and best flight characteristics. The model can also be operated using an electric power system.

No damage at all and well packed with bubble wrap , etc. As the kit itself, well I like it very much. Some go on about the weathering on the plane. I don't mind it... even after a short time flown in combat or just trials, the paint well be affected. I have shown it to a few club mates of mine already and they all agree...wow!! Nice plane. Looking forward to this winter project.

The Do 335 is a tough aircraft to model and Blank Horse and Motion RC has given us a impressive 335 that the average R/Cer can assemble and fly successfully. Quality for the price point is very good. Some of the complaints about this model are not on the mark, due to the unusual push pull configuration. The model is well designed and built. The covering with all the printed detail is accurately applied with attention to detail. Basic assembly is very easy. Minor nit picks: The weathered covering is impressive, but a little overdone. Some of the accessory items, like the landing gear struts, spinners and pilot figure could be better. Mine is just now ready for the maiden flight and I have no doubt it will perform well.

This airframe acted like nothing happened in the air. I was amazed that is simply lifted off the runway (Grass field) at about 25yards of run up. The rotation was nearly flat and once airborne....ya it was an arrow. Not real fast (counter rotating 3blade props) but very respectable pace. It is super stable and exhibited no vile traits. Turns, rolls, loops, figure eights were all done with ease. The landing was a bit awkward as the winds lifted it back up about 5ft, I had to blip the throttle and flatten it back out then merely landed again..no flare but a gentle flat three point landing. I was able to make three other spirited flights cruising at or near 50% throttle with shallow dive runway passes at full tilt. The sound of the props is really neat...the galley enjoyed the sound and the looks of this strange airframe. Flight duration on the 6s 100C 8000mAh LiPo was 6:00min landing at 3.80v per cell. The fourth flight I pancaked a little too hard on the rain soaked soft grass which popped the retract mounts in both wings.....the plywood retract mounts have split and cracked in the wings....but this will be an easy fix. The airframe flies on rails, has an excellent resonance sound from the props, looks wickedly odd in the air, tight axial rolls, huge gargantuan loops, tight figure eights all day....easy to land. Star rating four out of five only because the nature of the beast itself and NOT a fault of the ARF kit. This is NOT a trainer and the landings must be spot on so this must be a consideration for this model. If I prang this one up beyond repair - I will order another...it's that fun for me. Motors: Flight Line 5055 390Kv Props: MAS 16x10x3 Pull/Push props (Counter rotating) Spinners: Extreme Flight FW-190 Nose Gear: Freewing A10 80mm nose gear (MotionRC FJ311110811) / Have to insert a longer spring stopper inside the strut cylinder - shorter travel, compressed spring Battery: RCJuice Hobby Star 6s 100c 8000mAh LiPo (901grams) Flight Battery: Spektrum LiFe 2s 6.6v mounted in front of the forward battery tray Lead weight: 105ounces mounted on the nose rear firewall and in front of the forward battery tray ESC: (2) Castle Talon 90 Receiver: Spektrum AR8010 Stabilizer: Hobby Eagle A3-L CG for flight: 163mm
