EZ-Hawk

Are Alan and Paul the same person? postings seem oddly familiar?

Hi Ed I just use it standard! The module that came with it and bought a few extra RX's to go in my planes and VERY happy with it, had it quite a while now! No back light mods for me and I use NIMIH batts in the standard battery holder (yep it is a bit tight but you get used to it and it "gives" after a while! Loads of info available online on how to programme / mix! I have even sussed out the programming for my F16 vectored jet to do all kinds of stuff!! Good luck mate....Dave

Its perfect with my Blaze mate and despite the brand snobs, its a fantastic radio! Ditched my "named" 6 channel and this is my primary radio, never lost signal to nearly out of sight!! Go for it! and yes its fully legal both here and in France Dave

Hi Ghost, hope you got it sorted?? I have one and although I have a ST Models blaze now, it is still a fave of mine! Mine flew great completely stock (11.1v 1300mah, stock motor and esc etc), plenty of power and great climb rate, I even added a camera and it goes waaaaay high LOL!   good luck mate   Dave

Hi Steve, regardless of whatever the seller says / condition etc etc, under the distance selling regulations you are entitled to return ANY item within 7 days for ANY reason you may so wish!. Ebay actually states this at the end of some of their listings!!   Good luck   Dave

I have plenty of room and would find it quite useful!! ? Others?? so thats 99.8% already   Nice one Tim

Bit boring, but if you like that sort of thing!!

@GrahamC   Loving that plane, let us know how it flies???   Dave

100% I am afraid!   Very happy with EPP you can crash it, reshape it, paint it, eat it........oh hang aparently you can't eat it LOL    Edited By David Ashby - RCME Admin on 22/01/2012 09:58:25

wow, last time I try to be helpful!   And Steve WO : Download straight from his site to your desktop, drag into your phone apk files done! Not exactly hard but yeah whatever....... my bad.   Will keep any new found stuff to myself in the future   Wingman   Not OCD just a way for intelligent people to keep track of batteries usage, especially as lipo can be dangerous if not monitored, but again whatever!

Copied form a reply post I posted earlier. Thought it might be handy for anyone new like me!! .... Cheers........Dave ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also check out RcLog Lipo (type this into google and you will find a free android app from a guy called Steffan. AMAZING battery log and aircraft log, it even uses mapping so you can pinpoint your flying location on google earth. His site provides QR codes which you print, cut and tape onto your batteries. simply scan the battery pre / post flight and it goes straight to the particular log for the particular battery / model. Too amazing to decribe on here!, go check it out and post your "oh my god you were right" messages here LOL. Send him a virtual beer (£2-ish) and it removes the tiny ads that are on the log. I did even though they are not anoying at all and only tiny, but I was that impressed I thought he deserved it!! (translate his webpage to english with bing if you don't know any german) the log and manual are in Eglish tho, so no worries!!!   Also, google "futaba 9c programming log" and you will find a superb spreadsheet that can be used for any radio to log all the programming and mixes that if you lost you would be ready for suicide LOL, again amazing and if you have android polaris, office to go, or iphone equivelant (if anyone is still hanging on to this old technology compared to android LOL) You will be delighted, I am It is stunning on my samsung galaxy note!.   Enjoy guys and I hope you get some flying in, in this windy weather we are having. I have had a massive learning curve and have gained some great experience from these conditions using my old EZ Hawk, as I have replaced it with a ST Blaze, Parkjet mk2 and others LOL, but this has given me confidence to practice in windier conditions with the hawk before taking out the Blaze etc. Cheers guys, good flying.....EZ

Finally got a BLAZE!!!! Woohoo LOVE IT!!!   My newby hanger:   piper cub (old banger trainer and first plane) EZ Hawk Micro Stik (Looaaads of fun) F16 ducted fan (64mm) ST blaze Cermark Sammy 3D (Latest)   Lovin this hobby LOL

Did you ever suss this? I had the EXACT same problem but found out what it was! The plugs go into the receiver what seems like upside down to normal RX's (brown wire to rear of RX and BINGO bound working superbly!! Love it!   Just put this in case anyone just got one like me!!   Cheers   Dave

Only fly RTF / ARTF Have seen too many peeps take a lovingly built balsa plane that took months even years to build and watched them crash on maiden and take it home in a crisp packet LOL They are beautiful to look at but too delicate given some of the more robust materials available today!

Hi mate   2 weeks and 5 days sounds excessive to be honest but I would have imagined that NO reply would have been the thing if it would have been really fraudulent?. What I would do is send another message to his phone, his girlfriend etc and suggest you are contacting the police "just as a precaution" and then if you don't get an immediate reply, then I would actually do it!.   Good luck, hope it turns out ok, sometimes things actually do go wrong and the seller can't make the postings on time. It happened to be on the bay auction site! The guys wife was taken suddenly ill and long story short I got my item and a very apologetic letter and thanks for my patience. I felt a bit guilty to be honest but all was well in the end.   Best regards   EZ-H (Dave)

Thanks for the "this thread" link Pete the addresses quoted there are not the ones I emailed! I can't remember where I got the email addy from but I think it was from the confirm subscription email from them?   Guess I will wait and see what happens!   Cheers   Dave

Hi there yeah that wasnt a link, just the first part of the email address as I don't know how to add links yet! I was hoping that it was wrong to be honest but it says it was delivered successfully! Like I said I was really surprised by the lack of replies. Thanks for the reply, much appreciated   Dave

Hi there   I have enjoyed my short experience on here, the forums, but has anybody had the same experience I have had with subscriptions and the total lack of replies to the four emails I have sent about my membership?   I am VERY disappointed and frankly surprised as this forum seems absolutely superb and I expected the rcm&e@subscriptions ...etc to be friendly and helpful or at the very least to reply!!!!!   Not happy really and considering cancelling my direct debit, which they seemed to deal with VERY quickly what a shame!   Dave

Hi there   I have an easy Hawk standard but I believe you can upgrade to a much faster brushless but I cant remember the name / make! If you look for RCpowers and EZ hawk on youtube you will see the video posting by Dave Powers and he mentions the upgrade somewhere! If I can find it I will let you know!!   Cheers EZ Hawk (Dave)  

Hahaha they ALL seem to fit!!!!   EZ

Hi guys   Just a thought? I used to be a member of a kayaking forum and we all used to quote the wife / misses / girlfriend as "the FPO" (Financial Planning Officer) what do you guys call it on here?   Just a thought   To those of you who are single........ Well done! LOL   EZ-Hawk Dave

Posted by fly boy3 on 12/06/2011 20:13:25: Hi Dave, I started at 50 as well, got a good start first season with v/good instructors, and a brilliant 6months of fine weather to hone my skills. Still fly weekly ( wind and rain permitting) 20 + years later !. Warning - it is addictive LoL. cheers Edited By fly boy3 on 12/06/2011 20:13:59 hiya FB3 thats great news! reckon I am gonna follow you Addicted already hahah Cheers...........Dave

Cheers guys Cool second name Geoff LOL (I'm a Smith too!!!) Hey Mr P, yep great plane / glider!! I started with a cessna job (cheapie) which was ok but should have gone straight to the EZ! cannot fault it! I have added the rudder which I enjoyed doing, although the Mrs was glad to get her kitchen table back LOL I tried the EZ in a good gusty wind and it just eats it up no problem! Landing into the wind I could have landed it on my hand I am sure haha, so pleased with it, happy days Cheers.................. Dave

Looking forward to seeing this would love to have a go, and may well lol!
