Hello Kirk
I was sent details of this thread by rcuniverse member 'ThBrtmn'. I'm a newboy on the R/C Heli 'pad', and waiting for my Hawk IV kit to arrive any day now. He thought that your thread would give me some idea as to the ease with which these kits can be built (although yours is a sport - but there are lots of similarities).
Just to say that it certainly was a great help to me! It's great that even months after you post inofrmation on this board - it can have an effect on someone that wasn't even around at the time.
Well done Kirk!
Steve P.
