I had the CG at 185 and was landing with between 1/3 and 1/2 tank of fuel. Now I have it at 198 and land with less than 1/3 in the tank. It's like a whole different plane.

RE: Comp ARF BAE Hawk build thread

Another one took to the air for the first time today. Flew very well and looks great in the air.

Kinda messed up my second landing and tweaked the nose gear a bit after a bounce.

RE: Comp ARF BAE Hawk build thread

Curious as to what people are doing to retain the CF elevator pivot into the fuse. Do you cut it flush, leave it full length? Are you pining it, glueing it etc?
