Hangar 9 Ki-43 Oscar and Saito FG-90R3 by Craig Greening

Join Hangar 9 Product Developer Ali Machinchy as he breaks down this amazing Saito FG-90 3 cylinder 90cc radial engine build by Craig Greening.

Often mistaken during aerial combat with the more well-known Mitsubishi "Zero," the Nakajima Ki-43 was designated "Oscar" by Allied forces. Extraordinarily maneuverable with fast climbing capabilities, the Oscar wreaked havoc across the Pacific theater. Its long range and incredible performance made it virtually untouchable especially compared to the P-51 Mustang. The Hangar 9® Ki-43 Oscar 50-60cc 88" ARF brings this nimble warbird to life in a convenient scale model with unbeatable authenticity. Designed for warbirds and club pilots alike, the new Hangar 9® Ki-43 Oscar is an almost ready to fly 60cc giant scale World War II Japanese aircraft delivering an authentic warbird experience. Featuring scale details typically not found on other ARF aircraft, this incredible replica has outstanding flying characteristics that Hangar 9 warbirds are known for around the world. One of only two Hangar 9 giant scale warbirds with satin-finish printed covering, the Ki-43 Oscar also includes panel lines, rivets and weathering. Additionally, many scale details are incorporated such as 3D instrument panel, pilot bust, 5" scale wheels, and more. The two-piece plug-in wings with aluminum tube allows for easy transportation to the flying field and storage. Optional scale sprung main pneumatic retracts are available separately. Whether this is your first warbird, or the perfect counterpart for your collection, the Hangar 9® Ki-43 Oscar 50-60cc 88" ARF is the most unique model in our line of 50cc-60cc giant scale warbirds.

Horizon Hobby may have not wanted to be responsible for returns of customers and coped out. What other reason would they discontinue all the good planes we were used to?
They have gotten rid of most all the good planes. If you order a plane make sure you want it because I tried canceling planes on two occasions and was refused
even when it was only hr after ordering them . You may be able to return them with a RA # but return shipping is on you.
