RE: comparison question
Charlie,
There are a good number of Hawks locally that I have set up to do 3D "right out iof the box". And between it and its Hawk IV predecessor, some have been beating them through 3D for a number of summers now. P.S. I have also done the same for fellas with Raptors.
Of the two, I recommend the Hawk Sport to newbies for a variety of reasons. See my comments in my post in answer to "Help please!!! Heli choice for beginner.
