I too, have a Hawk on the way from Tower. Shipped yesterday I believe. Mine is definitely going to have a 3-3.5 pound gasoline engine on her. Most likely a Zenoah G-26. A careful reading of the manual states that this plane requires 16 oz of lead in the nose if you use the recommended 1.20 4-stroke. I talked to GP about the gas engine issue. they stated that they just had not got around to trying the plane with a gasser. But the very idea of using a glow engine and then having to put a pound of weight in the nose makes me want to upchuk.
