Good deal but I think the FAA beat you to it on that whole ruling the airways thingy.

Happy day, I just scored a used Cheetah with only 17 min bench time for my Hawk. My diabolical plan to rule the local airways is another step closer to reality

The Cheetah should be the perfect combo with this Hawk, light weight and high output!

I saw those two Cheetahs listed and I knew they would not last long at that price, congrats!

Thanks, I fully agree on that it will look wrong. I will see if I will be tempted enough to give it a try. My CG is a bit back now, might get interesting.
Happy landings everyone

Hey Jim,
You need to get one of these..........There is a TON of room inside for your install!
Marty: not sure about the hair yet, I'll have something

What are the pro's and con's of running a Tamjets pipe? I know they are very light. I will be using the Derjet cockpit and I figure I should get those two things initially. That way I can ensure the equipment install will not interfere with the cockpit tub and I can pick and position the lightest batteries to power everything. I will be running smoke so with that and the cockpit adding weight Tams pipe and those batteries can subtract some.

In Europe...99% of people run the stock "heavy" pipe...lightest Hawk anyway, with the Cockpit only a small amount of weight would be needed

As a general rule, I use 300+ oz torque servos for all of my planes. The nose wheel is constantly getting a load on it during taxi, take off, landing, so I don't consider a 8411 overkill... I consider it the minimum.

I am getting the stock CARF sport retract set that comes with the combo. It looks like the steering servo bolts directly to the nose gear frame. What servo should I use? Digital? MG? DS8411 seems a little bit overkill here.

I used a Futaba brushless BLS 352 as I had this spare, high torque metal geared. Has been 100%
Well they are made for steering!

Wow thanks for the input, guess there is a lot if interest in the Hawk. My other servo related dilemma is i have a couple of DS8717 heli cyclic servos which are used and I thought I could use them for flaps, they are basically 8711's with different gearing, 196 oz in and super fast. But i would use the Tx function to slow them to operate the flaps, i guess it would work, not more powerful just a good servo and the price is right!

RE: Comp ARF BAE Hawk build thread
You can ofcourse. But "best practise " is an analog because
-you dont need the possibly better accuracy of the digital
-the digital will use much more current bacause it will try to achieve its position harder
-thats leads to faster wear of the MG and linkage
-waste of money..

Why not use digital on steering?
