Hi Justin
Take him at his word. I've seen the AMD hawk up close and I wouldn't reccommend a 12+ lb turbine. It would probably fly well with a Simjet 700 or MW44, but no more.

Im curious to find out if anyone on here has bought a Hawk from Alex at AK-Models here in the USA. He has told me that it is the AMD Hawk, but Im just wondering on the quailty of this particular verison(s). He claims stronly that a turbine can't be used but we all know a turbine puts no more stress on the airframe when flown in the right manner. Im just interested in over all quailty and first impressions, fuel tank setups, etc. For $330 + shipping its hard to beat if its worth anything..
