I honestly don't understand the obsession for theese large and supelight planes. I think a SG Hawk at 20 kg looks ridiculous in the air scale vise. And I don't understand how they could win a competition when they fly like big depron park flyers?? A Hawk does not hover in at the landing approach like the Germans do with their SG Hawk, or fly knife-edge at 30 mph. For a SG Hawk to look scale in the air it would need maybe 10-15 kg of ballast, so how heavy would the Tomahawk one need to be to fly scale? 40-50 kg or 90 - 110 lbs maybe??
I have heared many people say that a AW hawk flyes better (scale) than the bigger ones. I have flown an AW Hawk that is about 22 kg dry, and even that one feels a little to light...
Could not agree more with that statement Staale. That is why I am sticking to my Airworld Hawk. Wing loading looks much more appropriate. Nice size but not too big.
