Dave Wilshire has pointed out several times that aileron crow is not necessary to land a CARF Hawk, but we can tell you from a *lot* of experience on hard-surface runways in various wind conditions, that aileron crow with full-flaps makes landing much more of a non-event and much less anxiety producing...
Nice plane Rich!

Hey Bob, how much crow are you guys running on the ailerons? Im hopping to dust off my hawk this year and get it flying again after sitting for a few years now. I have to set up the radio again since i lost some settings on the power-box when it was sent in for a screen replacement.
Thanks!
