I'm planning to use two PowerBox PowerPak LiIon 5.0X2 PRO (5000 mAh) with my Champion SRS and install permanently the batteries in the Hawk.
I wonder if the batteries will be enough ?
Will be it safe to charge them installed in the jet?
Thank you in advance

I do think a good rule of thumb is not to buy a turbine until you are ready to install it, or at least 100% ready to start your build. They change & advance SO quickly!
my 2 cents, Jay

If anyone can get their dry weight, then fill it up & re-weigh it wet, we can figure out the fuel capacity.
or maybe Anton can chime in. Now that we know the dryweights of 2 models, itd be great to know the TO weight... but seems like 70lbs is a good number.
50lb thrust turbine = approx .7 to 1 power to weight ratio
K-310 = 1 to 1
on T/O roll.

220n/50lb thrust = .62 to 1. (Scale, real Hawks are around .65)
310n/68lb thrust = .85 to 1 (almost F-16C @.91)
subtract a little for installed thrust loss.

Also I would like to clarify that the back end of the new pipe that is 4" ID and the front end is at 4 3/4" - please note in the new photo this is a JETCAT P200 (I found this image on line) this photo is to show how the new pipes form SKYMASTER attach, they do not have mounting brackets- they all attach from the bell mount as shown in the photos. A very secure set up.

I am at Florida Jets now and actually a little disapointed that NO ONE has shown up with this Jet...
I have seen about 4 of the smaller versions ...
I really wanted to see one fly since Mine is on its way...

I'm close to maidening mine and have noticed that I have about 1/16" up/down play in my ailerons. It's most pronounced at the root end of them. It appears to be play in the hinge system. Anyone else have this?
My concern is flutter. It does not seem to be linkage or servo gear related ... it seems to be the hinge. Maybe a larger diameter piano wire is needed.
