Argiel,
depending on the grease that has been put on the rubber (and how hard it is adjusted) on the moving part, it may stick quite a bit.
Are you able to slightly rotate the rod ? When the clip is off, you should be able to gently pull the rod out

Hi,
I am just starting the build of my THHawk 100. I don't want to put the plastic cover over the gear strut.. I take it thats no problem? Also any additional build pics of the inside or instructions other than the factory pics they send you would be great. My email is [email protected]
Thanks

RE: Tomahawk-Design Bae Hawk 1: 3.5
Hello guys,
I just finished my tommy hawk. Yesterday i build it up to check the balance point. It is'nt easy, my wife put a wood below the fuselage, while a friend and i higher the fuselage. At the moment here is a very hot summer day, so much sweeting while doing this
Now i checked it and i have to put my turbine accu in front of thefuselage to get the correct point. But i am wondering a little because a user who builds it also, has nearly the same installating like me but the elevator servos in the back and 400gr in elevator.
For secure, i am a little bit nervous , can someone meassure the weight below the frontwheel ? I think if othe have the same weight there i have set the correct balance point.
Thank you very much for some information.
Greeting to all,
Thomas

I have left many messages for Vogelsang to call me I have had zero responses for the 6th day in a row. I would love to see one of these fly in person before I lay out the cash. Is Vogelsang the only US dealer? I will drive or fly a reasonable distance to see one fly. Do any of you know of an event or site that one of these hawks will take to the air?

Hi Roy,
Not sure on the consensus but I have balanced mine.
Anything to help that large surface seemed to make sense to me. A little weight down the aft end is easy to sort with battery position etc. I used 10mm round lead fishing weights slid on to a piece of wire hysoled into the leading edge on each side. Taped the weight on to the leading edges in position to get accurate allowing for the weight of the glue. Then a hole in the root of either side, hysol on a long nozzle and slid them home. Opened the holes up added a little more hysol to create a mechanical hold after first glue was dry. Ending up grinding a little lead off each of the closest weights while fitted to the fuse to get perfect and then a little epoxy and micro balloons to close the holes.

For those of you wanting a good fuel tank to replace the stock fuel tank with call Gary at Jettech. He made a tank for me that I have been using and really like. Its over 6L and has a baffle. Works great.
He will also be making the intakes and bypass for the Skygate Hawk which can be retro fitted to fit the Tomahawk Hawk.
If you want the formers I can see about having some laser cut.

No problem Roy!
Have you addressed the fuselage pressure with any remedy?
Your pretty close to being done right? I saw some video with you on it at Joes place a while back.
Heraldo, I don't see any issues with the stock setup. The servos don't even need to be matched with the stock setup and they never seem to ever bind. And actually if you lost one servo you would still have maybe 30 or 40% throw which should get you home unless you are in a serious dive. I have put an AMP meter on them and get very low readings, even when deflected. I have never had a servo fail for no reason either. Do you have a setup with elevators on tail that are independent of each other?

I have Gary's tank too. Might be worth pointing out the obvious that it cannot simply replace the stock tank. You'll need to make new formers to fix it in the upper half of the fuselage.

Yes I am close but not close enough. Now buffing out the clear coat. As you can see the hatch is open and still need to mount my cook air control panel and switches
