I am interested in the fact that you are using some crow on your Hawk,I have none on mine but do use it on my Flash which is very easy to land.

How much crow have you and is it mixed in only on full landing flap.

Did you try landing with and without the crow in,as I would like to know if it is worth while on the Carf Hawk.

Thanks

I have about 3/16ths of an inch of crow. I remembered reading back in the thread, that Dave said he thought that amount would make slow landings even better. In a light breeze, I have landed at near walking pace, with no sign of a wing dropping. No elevator mix was required. I did not try it without the crow, so I cannot really say if it makes a lot of difference, although I think it must help.
