This has been a great thread! I got my Hawk a week or so ago and hopfully it will be ready for the maiden next week. It's used, I am not a super builder... LOL.

Unless I don't remember, how does the Hawk handle stalls? My goal for the Maided is to take the Hawk to altitude, practice some stalls and slow flight. Then bring it back down for some approaches and over shoots to get a good feel for how she flies on approach and in slow flight.

What I have learnt from the thread is that it doesn't like high alpha, and that the best approach attitude is a nose down attitude and then flare to get the nose up on touch down.

I will also set the CG to 205 from the start, and it's already pretty much set up that way anyway.
