THe Hawk is a very good aircraft - fast and aerobatic but not as forgiving as, for example, an F15. Manufacturers? Obviously I'm going to promote the JetLegend T45 (which is a superb) but the PJP is very good (same size) and the Skymaster Hawk is also a very nice flying model. The PJP may have scale retracts as an option - I'm not sure. The JL T45 and the Skymaster certaily do. Jetlegend do a kit version too.

Have fun!
