CARF Skygate Hawk in the house !
#651
I flew at 305mm first time. That is what the manual calls for. That was with no extra weight. It was nose heavy in flight. I ended up moving the 2 life 3600mah batteries from under the front seat to behind the main gear doors. moved turbine battery back from the nose to under rear seat. Still will not hold a wheelie very long on landing but flies much better inverted.
I trying to lose more weight in the nose. The cockpit and pilot provide plenty of wieght up front.

I have been enjoying my Hawk. I flew at Ga Jets south all 3 days. I really loving the cortex gyro. All 3 days it was blowing pretty good. It makes you look good with even realizing it. burned about 15 gallons.
I just got back from Hamburg Pa Farview Flyers event. Flew on Satruday only. Weather was ruff but I manage to get 4 flights in.
A friend took some awsome pictures at Hamburg of the Hawk in the air. Here are a few of them.

Looking good!
Wait till you see Don's cockpit in person.. It's bad to the bone. I wish the weather would have been better I would have loved to seen it fly. I understand he only had one flight on it so far. I am sure I will get to see it fly and I am sure he will be in love with it when he gets it trimmed out and the nerves settle down.

Some help with Naca Ducts, I received 6 naca ducts with my kit, I have located 5 , 1 in the nose, 2 in the belly behind landing gear,and 2 are just in front of the rudder. I have one left and its the biggest of the set, and can not locate where it goes. Any one know the correct placement?????
Thanks

RAF Hawks (Mk 1s) have only 5 intakes, so far as I can see, location as JCA describes.
Aces has the MDC in the front cockpit the wrong way round, wide cord distribution at the front, the Reds do not have HUDs (no need, no weapons, and they just get in the way when flying formation aeros) but they do always have a centerline tank !
Lavi, I brought the photos for you at JP, didn't see you there !
However, if you put "Hawk 237" on YouTube you will see my pictures there. (don't know how they got there !)
My Hawk is nearly done, full ducting, big tank, Olympus going in this weekend, has the new fin colours, (and centerline smoke tank) looks great !

The smoke tank was done by skygate only . The molds no longer exist .
David.
I was at JP from Thursday on up to Sunday afternoon .... Waited for you at the airworld booth at 12 noon on Friday as I wrote to you before the event .
Any way would love if you could mail me the CD please.

Have you done the cockpit? I have made everything screw together and easily come apart as Marc had done. But the last piece is how to hold the seats in place. Have you done that?

Hi guys,
So my Saudi Hawk is ready to Test Fly. A couple of questions, and these may have already been discussed in this forum.
1. What is the actual elevator trim required with flap at takeoff and landing. The manual says 'Up' elevator trim. But I am sure that is wrong. It should be down trim - but how much...in mm?
2. Are the throws in the manual correct or too much/not enough?
Also, what are you guys doing to prevent the wing fences getting damaged!!!!...that is the one thing I really gonna hate about the hawk...
