Many believe that your first 'low winger' should have a tricycle undercarriage, so Black Horse listened and came up with the fabulous Speed Air. Fast forward a few years and many models later; Black Horse have re-engineered the Speed Air using their years of skill and also produced a more striking colourscheme for the model.
The advantage of such an undercarriage is the way it helps teach the way to take off with minimum fuss and maximum success.
It also helps when the flying field surface is bumpy and prone to 'tripping up' tail dragger designs.
Like the Travel Air, the Speed Air has a non-tapered wing for vice free low speed performance and easy control response.
