A 0.46 with a Hawk
Hi
I was wondering how would a Hawk perform with a os 0.46 or 0.50 with the conversion kit SIDE FRAME CONV. SET(O.S50SX-H). I live in Mexico City and a heli with a 0.32 will no lift, with a 0.39 flies ok but does no have much power. Has anybody flown a Hawk with these engines?
Thanks

RE: A 0.46 with a Hawk
I put a OS-50 into my Hawk IV. The increase was pretty good, the speed increase by about 7MPH and the climb was much better. I placed it in there for better inverted climb and i am still tinkering with that. I would say that there was an 30-40% increase in performance. But, i like on the East coast near sea level so take that into consideration. Just remember it is going to weigh more with the medal frame and burn more gas.

RE: A 0.46 with a Hawk
My Hawk Sport flies great with an OS 32-SXH. It seems to climb well. I don't fly inverted, yet, so I don't know how it will perform upside down. [sm=spinnyeyes.gif] You should not have any trouble getting the Hawk to fly well with a 32 on it. Sounds like you may need to take a second look at your throttle/pitch setup. A second opinion from an experienced pilot is always helpful.
Good Luck?
