I am happy to report another Hawk has taken flight. Congratulations to my father Kim Foster for such a beautiful model. I am sure it will be visible at many events in the future!

We had two successful flights today that were otherwise hindered by the landing gear. We are using the standard Tomahawk E Gear with a 3s A123 2500 mah retract pack (electrodynamics) with the new Xicoy LG 15 controller. Unfortunately the left main would not retract. I upped the amperage to 3.5amps in the controller to no avail but perhaps it needs to go higher?
