Martin McIntosh Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Apparently HK no longer do that Hawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Adams 3 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The plane in the photo is a full size one, it still has a bullet hole in the bottom when it was in the war, it is based where we fly on a private airfield.

Geoff Parkes Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Just checked the HK site and the 70mm Hawk is still listed.I have one of these they sell for approx. £35 pounds thats just for the airframe, mine is red arrows scheme covered in red iron on film, you have to be careful with the heat as it draws out the individual foam beads but the polished finish more than makes up for this, its got a Chain Sun 10 blade fan on 4 s , 80 amp speedo, and 3750 4s battery, bungy launched, the sound is unbelavable, true jet sound and almost silent on slow passes, one of the best EDF planes i have, I built one of Tonys smaller Hawks 2 years ago, I built it as light as possible, swapping thicker wood for thinner , lightening holes where poss. and it still turned out heavy, Tony, said a wing loading of approx 35 oz. / sq. ft. It flew like a brick ,as I have stated before if you do build one of his new larger Hawks, go for light build, no retracts, 6 s , bungy launch and hope. You would be surprised how much power is drawn from batteries dragging a wheeled ducted fan plane off the ground ! or better still save a load of cash and go for a hobby king job.

Martin McIntosh Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 GP, if I am going to build a model like the 50" Hawk it has to ROG or there is no point in building a scale model. If it does not work out then so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
