Hawk pro 30 conversion
 
I was looking at the hawk pro 30 on the web. I know that 50s are better but the thirty is more in my budget and was wondering would it be possible to convert a hawk 30 pro into a 50? If possible is there a kit i can buy to do this? Any input appreciated.

You might as well go for the raven then. Not much more expensive, and the conversion, although I am not sure they offer the parts right now, would end up costing you the same all together.

Raven has just been reduced in price.

I agree to go with the Raven. I am sure you can convert but at $299 the Raven is as reasonable as any besides the the Compass offerings at $260. The Hawk pro is $209 so I am sure is a great deal but I would think the conversion would cost more that the $80 you saved. The blades alone will be at least $70 bucks for carbon 600mm.

Listen to the gentlemen. I have a hawk pro 30 but if you want a 50 go with the raven because the engine mount alone is going to put you near that price, and then you have to look into other upgrades too. I am with everyone else go with the raven. If you do more research it is more economical to buy the raven, go on centurys website and see for yourself.
