My son Louie's CARF Hawk is plenty fast on an "old, old" Cheetah! I can only imagine how fast it would be on a 170 Cheetah!

Yes, they were not originally in the kits when they first came out. I believe that Dave Wilshere sourced the first ones and provided them back to CARF and then they were included. You could get them...

Damn, I should have figured that after we paid them extra to do that scheme that they'd start selling it! :mad: :D

Crow seems to make a big difference in how the model lands - much easier to get it in the "groove" for a soft touchdown with no bouncing...

Yep, that's what we've seen - several times which resulted in damage. The crow seems to eliminate that tendency nicely. Note that 3/8" is the amount up from the aileron position that is even with the...

I'm assuming that you used the one on Taylormade's site already? That's the most complete list I've ever seen. It doesn't specifically cover the scheme you have (or the one Louie got), but...

The problem is not holding the doors closed once they are closed, its getting them to close once they are open and the air stream catches them.
