Interesting facts about the Fisher Horizon
✈ Fisher designed the Horizon series as a high wing STOL kit aircraft with tandem seating, aimed at builders who want short strip capability and straightforward ownership.
✈ The Horizon 1 launched first, and the Horizon 2 followed with changes that improved cockpit visibility and refined low speed control with different flap and aileron details.
✈ Many completed examples use Volkswagen based Limbach engines, and builders also fit other approved engines, so engine logs and installation quality matter during a pre buy review.
✈ The Horizon 2 targets larger pilots with a spacious tandem cockpit, which many buyers prefer over side by side layouts in other two seat kit aircraft.
✈ The wing uses a modified GA(W) 2 style airfoil on the Horizon 2, and the design focuses on stable slow flight for short field operations.
✈ Some Horizon 2 builds use quick folding wings, which can reduce hangar space needs and make trailering or storage easier for owners.
✈ Buyers often compare build documentation, inspection records and fabric condition, because kit aircraft quality varies more than factory built aircraft.
✈ When shopping for a Fisher Horizon, many buyers prioritise a clean weight and balance report, a clear engine history and evidence of consistent maintenance.

FAQs About the Fisher Horizon
How much does a Fisher Horizon cost?
Pricing varies widely because completed builds differ by workmanship, engine choice, avionics and maintenance history. Compare current listings, then factor in inspection findings, documentation quality and any refurbishment costs before you agree a final price.
Is the Fisher Horizon a good STOL aircraft?
Yes, the Horizon series targets short field capability with a high wing layout and low speed control features. Confirm the exact build spec and control surface configuration, because performance depends on the variant and how the aircraft was built.

Review the build log, inspection sign offs, fabric condition, weight and balance and engine installation paperwork. A thorough pre purchase inspection also helps you confirm control rigging, corrosion protection and any modifications.
