Default Feels like a old friend

Guys I am happy to report my hawk #2 burned over 10 gallons of kero this past weekend at the new jet meet in SC (Flyingtigers RC club).

Want to thank Ray Labonte of Comp-Arf for helping me out with the canopy.

She flies exactly the same as the first one. I only have a K180 in it becuase the 210 burned up in the first one. It still GPS at 190mph in a shallow dive and 165mph level flight and I am really amazed at how well it does slow fight even thought it came up 1lb nose heavy. I guess I got the restriction right with my first guess

I have right 48 degress of full flap with no issues and it lands great. I also have not installed a Gyro yet.



Looking forward to another 150 plus flights on this one.
