Default RE: AMD Hawk.

Hi i3dm,

I have bought one of these (the red white and blue) a while ago and I am in the process of putting the finishing touches on it. I have read in a few threads that the .46 set up is adequate but you would need to fly off of a paved run way unless you got a 500ft grass runway. I am powering it up with a OS65 and Dynamax fan. I have started it up couple of times and taxied it around. It seems to have plenty of power to take off. I do have a OS91 incase the .65 lets me down but I doubt it.

I am in the process of balancing it, the instructions tells you that CG is 5" behind the leading edge of wing, with empty fuel tank, I need to add quite a bit of weight to the front, I am just not sure if that what others have done. I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks
