hi guys, looking to get a hawk from carf but noticed at the accessories and noticed that the LG they have is awful, I have read here that it is the Air tech but at their site they show a very different set, can any one confirm which one is it please? Also, what about a nice cockpit set????

I have the DerJet cockpit with one BVM 1/5 scale pilot figure. There are pics of the instal back in this thread somewhere for mine and others.

Eman your hawk looks great with all those scale details. I especially like the vortex generators. Speaking of does anyone know what happened to the guy out of Europe that was making those for out hawks? I PMd him a few times a few months back and never heard anything. I would love to get a set of those for my hawk.

I made my VG's for my SM Hawk from a strip of 3mm (0.1") angle plastic. I was going to use brass angle, but I could get the plastic angle from my LHS.
9mm long with a 30deg taper on both leading edges. I made a small jig to cut them out easily with an Exacto knife.
8 per side. There was a very good dimensioned drawing on one of the larger Hawk (Tomahawk of Skygate, can't remember) threads a month or 2 ago that gave the placements. I just scaled it to the size of the SM smaller Hawk.

Hi Dieselman: I made mine in less than an hour from a piece of fiberglass from hobbyking. You can simply cut them with scissors. I made them 4mm higher and stuck them into a slot cut in the wing by a sharp knife. I attached them to a piece of masking tape and painted them all in one go. See pictures.

My Hawk is now comming on a treat, pleased to see it in paint and nearing completion. I have dropped the 140 RX under the rails and repositioned the thrust tube in an attempt to sort out the climb under power. (Looking in through the wing opening) once she is all back together I will weigh it..... Fingers crossed I've not overdone the paint (-:

Ha Ha, good job you were flying it and not me.... Remember adding loads of powe on full elevator to get it into a flair ? I've been as carful as I can not to over do the weight. It doesn't feel heavy so fingers crossed.
