            Fisher Horizon 1 
      
      
        
      
            
              
            
            Well established Fisher Flying 
            Products has reproduced the flying qualities of many classic 
            airplanes in structurally sound and extremely affordable aircraft. 
            These ultra light and experimental aircraft have proven aerodynamic 
            stability and desirable flight characteristics. 
             
            From the company’s modern plant in Edgeley, North Dakota, the 
            components for 15 classic replicas are manufactured by trained and 
            experienced craftsmen. Research and development for new aircraft is 
            on-going. Fisher Flying Products’ entire line of aircraft is sold 
            throughout the United States and in 30 foreign countries. 
             
            All models are available in two build-it-yourself forms: 
             
            A standard construction kit, which offers the builder the experience 
            of assembling the entire aircraft from pre-cut, shaped and slotted 
            wooden pieces, machined hardware, a formed fibreglass cowling and 
            aluminium fuel tank.  
            A quick-build kit which contains a number of pre-fabricated 
            components in addition to the standard pre-cut and formed parts 
            found in the standard kit.  
             
            Both kits come complete with easy-to-follow instructions and the 
            industry’s finest full scale-full size blueprints. These blueprints 
            allow the builder to essentially build the aircraft right on top of 
            the blueprints with standard household tools. 
             
            Standard construction kits can be completed by the average builder 
            in 400–500 hours and quick-build kits reduce the construction time 
            to 200–300 hours. 
            
            Flying the Horizon 1 
             
            The Horizon provides true STOL performance, good slow speed 
            stability and a startling climb rate. It can carry a payload equal 
            to its weight and is an excellent platform for lightweight floats or 
            skis. You’ll find a large, roomy cockpit, tandem seating, optional 
            two-cycle or four-cycle engines and a one man, two-minute wing fold 
            system.  
             
            Picture yourself in a shiny new airplane that has the feel, flight 
            characteristics and styling of a classic machine.  
             
            This lightweight wonder will out perform a classic airplane in 
            virtually every category and can be operated for only a fraction of 
            its cost. The Horizon is a sturdy airplane with more horsepower than 
            the Piper Cub, but with only a portion of its empty weight. Just 
            imagine the fun you’ll have flying this beauty.
