Glad to see everyone are enjoying their Hawks. I have had min for three years now and its still getting better. I did something ''interesting'' the other day. Smaller and smaller circles at about 60% power until it eventually snapped. It did what it was supoosed to, the outer wing stalled and it continued nearly in a stragiht line with som drop in height.

But have anyone tried a spin? The right way, starting with stalled wings and rudder? How is it recovering and procedure? Throttle or only rudder or what?

Happy landings.

I did some spin testing way back when I started flying the manual Hawk, not done many since as it looks wrong! Inverted spins are cleaner, I remember upright spins speeding up/slowing down, it was not a nice spin like the Flash, but balance will affect the overal behaviour. Normal recovery with sticks centred, few seconds to build up speed adding power and fly out.
