RE: BAE Hawk vs F-16 (fun poll)
Bae Hawk or F-16?...This is an easy question.....Just buy a F-86 Sabre and end the argument...lol.
That being said,both planes look great but as a model the Bae Hawk is a better flyer at slow speeds and a little more forgiving (trainer).
It's like compairing a Mustang to a Spitfire...everyone knows the Spit can't compare but even ugly planes need someone to love them.
That should get the pot boiling...lol.

I thought the Hawk's had problems if get them too slow on landing and would stall or roll in. The early Skymaster ans small JHH one I thought were prone to those problems. Did they solve it? If so what did they do? Any way my vote is F-16 never had any issues with flying mine.

My hawk nearly goes backwards on landing. Has to be the slowest landing jet made.
I can run faster than my slow fly by.
I have a P20 Hawk and it flys great. I have noticed that id you try to takeoff without takeoff flaps it wants to try and snap. Im sure the same goes for landing.
I think some early hawks didnt have the vortex generators and likely werent using appropriate flaps.

RE: BAE Hawk vs F-16 (fun poll)
Not to hijack this thread but I have a question. I had purchased several years ago one of the early Skymaster ARF Hawk. I never built it because of all of the issues with it like snapping on various forums. Than I spoke to several well known pilots and was told it was not good to fly. So it has been in the box collecting dust. Was all of this hype wrong? What would I need to do to get it to fly like the current ones?

F-16 is the modern day P-51 of WWII, but Hawk ain't a spitfire, not even close, probably a more proper comparison would be a Proctor Percival, a fine flying British trainer of WWII:

Mr Jlm,
thats a good question. I kinda remember the threads about those hawks. I thought they added vortex generators and saw big improvement. I can tell you that simply using takeoff flaps makes it very stable. Also using landing flaps reduces stall speed tremendously.
I have a P20 Hawk that wanted to snap on takeoff if I didnt use the flaps. with flaps, its very stable.
Flaps do much more that produce drag.
