Maiden flight today on the Hawk. I set the CG right in the middle of the recommended range 80 to 90 mm at 85mm and with a 3s2350 Lipo balanced perfectly. It was a good day for test flight just a slight breeze straight down the runway. Put it on the runway and applied the throttle
tracked fairly straight and a took off at about 125 ft down the runway. Climbed out nicely, not too steep and flew a couple of circuits around the field. Roll rate was pretty quick, even tho' I didn't set the ailerons at the recommended travel. I always think the throws are way too much, I prefer something a bit less twitchy. I didn't even need any trim adjustments, very unusual for me. Flight was short, 2 - 2 1/2 min but I wanted to see how it would land. Set up for landing but had to go around as I was too high. Set up again and this time cut the throttle fully, and the Hawk came in as easy as anything. Flew three more times after that and each was the same. Gradually increased time aloft by using the throttle until I got about 4 mins and used about 35% on the cell capacity.
