Default RE: Tomahawk-Design Bae Hawk 1: 3.5

Hi Mark,

2 flights - maiden and one more. Both very low key, calm and collected.

I agree with all comments - these aircraft are under some serious loads and much respect should be applied when flying. A more scale approach seems all important. I will be doing some pretty erious strengthening on mine. I have no weight limit to hit, and strength and longevity are far more important to me. I can't help but thinking the comp 20kg weight limit is being delivered through some pretty excessive lightening.

In my humble opinion I think both of the larger hawks could do with some extra weight... more fuel, fully ducted and some extra strengthening to start. The Airworld Hawk for example, with a higher wing loading, looks more sold in the air to me.

Looking forward to my kit arriving. Big ups to the excess aeropoxy!
