Default Morris Hobbies Tomhawk ARF?

There's one in our club, built from the kit. You will be dissapointed if you are looking for speed. With a Webra 50 on a pipe, I was not impressed in the least. I think my Hots is faster. Looked like it was dragging something or the prop was on backwards, and he was flogging that Webra. It's a lot larger in cross section than the Patriot. Especially the Fuse. It's HUGE! Which may play a part in it looking so slow.
There's just too much air to move out the way. If you are looking for speed out of it, start with a hot 60, or maybe a 90.

If, on the other hand, you are looking for a cool jet with good handling, it's a very impressive plane. Very sweet looking take offs and Landings.
