The Henschel Hs-123 was one of the world's best fighter biplanes. It first saw action in the Spanish Civil War.
In World War II Henschel Hs-123 aircraft were used in Poland, France, the Balkins and Russia.
The Henschel Hs-123 developed a reputation as a sturdy tactical aircraft. It was used for ground attack until replaced by the Ju-87 Stuka dive bomber. Its air cooled engine and excellent ground handling ability, even from muddy runways, kept the Henschel Hs-123 in constant operational readiness during the Russian winter of 1941/42.
Lack of parts rather than lack of usefullness ended the careerof the Henschel Hs-123 in mid-1944 because all its jigs and tooling had been scrapped in 1938.

Airplanes:
The Henschel Hs-123 certainly looks like it would make a good RC Airplane, however we have only seen the radio control airplane on this page.
Donald Borton was kind enough to send us all of the RC Henschel Hs-123 airplane pictures on this page and wrote to tell us: "Tommie, Hereford, TX has a RC 1/5 scale of the Henschel Hs-123 radio control airplane. Plans for the 1/5 scale RC Airplane can be obtained from Uncle Willies Plans and Scale Plans & Photo Service."
Thank you for writing to us Donald.
Pictured immediately above and in the two pictures below is the fantastic Henschel Hs-123 radio control airplane built by Tommie of RC Universe from Uncle Willie's Plans. The rc airplane has a wing span of 82" and a length of 63". Tommie uses a Tarus TS-52 engine to power his Henschel Hs-123 radio control airplane. All up weight of the RC Airplane is 33 lbs.
RC Store has a Henschel Hs-123 Control Line Airplane that can be converted to a radio control airplane. Wing span is 34" and length is 24". Power can be a .29 to .35 engine.
If you know of any Henschel Hs-123 RC Airplane kits, ARFs, or plans, or if you have built a Hs-123 radio control airplane, please email us.
