Default RE: Comp ARF BAE Hawk build thread

Maiden went reasonably well... it looks AWSOME in the air and tracks quite well
Observations:
1. This flight was nose heavy... Ihad to input a LOTof uptrim to fly level, then inverted, had to hold a lot of down elevator
I believe Iwill end up around 8"from the front of the wing at the fuse joint for proper CG!
2. The flaps did not come all the way down.. this was found to be caused by the supplied 3mm pushrods flexing a lot
I will replace these with very stiff carbon fiber ones
3 The climb with a 32 lb turbine is unlimited!

Avideo will be posted soon
