Hobie Hawk set up
Damn my wife loves me. Last night she informed me that for our anniversary she got me a vintage Hobie Hawk. So in a flurry of Internet activity I tried to find out all I could about the set up and flight characteristics of the Hawk. I found HobieHawk.com and they had tons of useful information. Are there any quirks that one should know about before flying. As I understand it the Hawk if set up properly is a fantastic plane. If set up a little sloppy it can be a real PITA.
Considering this plane is from the late 70's early 80's I am going to replace the push rods. I've read that they can fail with this much age behind them. All suggestions and tips are welcome.
