Default RE: Fei Bao Hawk

Well as far as I can see, my FB Hawk is exactly the same as my original Skymaster Hawk, just a much better finish and a lot more work done. Its not the same as the later generation SM hawk and it is totally different from the Jet Legends model. And Sandor should know he sells them! I intend to use the original set up when I eventually get around to build mine.
You needs lots more elevator movement than looks right; mine was looking so excessive that I took off with rates in. Big mistake, very numb even with 30 degrees each way. You need to slow the flap travel right down or you can get excessive trim change in use. Don't apply them when going fast. 15 degrees is perfect for take off, and 45 is plenty for landing (or less if its windy).
