It looks like T -one is coming out with a hawk mini. It looks to have a ton of scale details including slotted flaps, rivet lines, dual nose gear doors controlled by one servo as well as dual main gear doors controlled by one servo. Plus it has electric retracts, I am not personally a fan air. Think I may give this one a shot. I talked to Dirk and I have a custom camo scheme in mind.
74.8 Length, 62.99 Wingspan

Does anyone have one of these? Thinking about getting one.

Has T1 shared the all-in weight range? With ~62" wingspan, I'm curious to derive the potential wing loading. If it is light, it does look great.

I just got my mini Hawk in Tiger scheme. Looks great, lot's of detail and good paint/finish. It is PNP version, so I should have it ready in a week or so. Will post pictures.

does anyone else have one of these?

Agrav8ed

Mine should be here soon hopefully. It's been a really long wait. I hope that it was worth it.

Did you get the pnp option?

Yes, got the PNP. The E-Gear controller/sequencer looks like Xicoy LG15

I just have the kit version. Would you be willing to take a few pics for me. Primarily of how the rudder is mounted and the placement of the light controller. BTW, did you have to receive instructions on now to use the light controller?
Thanks,
Tone

N4S

Hi Tone, sorry for late reply. Here are the photos. I don't recall getting any instructions for the light controller. I have not made much progress on assembling it.

Agrav8ed

Thanks for the reply but I already got mine built and ready to go. Found a couple of pics online and just made the rest up as I went along. It's a good kit. Solid and tons of scale detailed. Feels tad bit heavier than I would have thought but my build came out at the listed weight, 19.62 lbs. Tank empty, uat full.

I've been looking at smaller jets recently and this one looks real nice. I talked with one pilot today at FIF who lost this one on maiden flight after flap deployment. Has anyone had any issues with this jet loosing pitch control with flap deployment? I have heard of Hawk type jets doing this before but I have never flown one.

I had a Global Jet Club T-45 foamy. It crashed during maiden as I dropped the gears and banked left for a gear check prior to landing. I am not sure what caused the crash but one of my friends who was watching felt that I may have stalled it. I personally thought I had plenty of speed while making a gradual left turn.

Tone, would you please give us feedback regarding flight characteristics after your maiden flight?

Agrav8ed

My next few weekends are fairly busy but I hope to get the maiden done around the 17th of this month. I will reports back here how it goes.
Thank,
Tone

Looking forward to the report.

I have a K-100G1 and a K-60G1 that could use a new home, I wonder which would suit this plane best. My worry is that the 100 would be too portly and the 60 too gutless.

Agrav8ed

Better more than less I would say. You could always throttle back or set up a throttle curve if you had too much power. I built one and I say go with the 100n.

Nice jet but I wonder what the wait would be? Like 4-6 months? Or 1-3 years? Way things are now with shipping from China to USA, 1-2k dollars? Just wondering. My buddy ordered a jet from BVM and it took like 6 months! And the shipping was outrageous.

Agrav8ed

I would reach out to Dirk at pacificrcjets.com. he will be able to give you the best estimate. I would speculate 3-4 months.

Ordered a Micro and shipping was almost as much as the jet. That was just a few weeks ago, bad time to order anything.

Shipping is included in the price with BVM… but BVM has had major price increases lately which could be explained by the shipping costs.

I can tell you right now that I wouldn’t order my BVM F-18 at the current price, I got mine on a BVM Black Friday special and consider myself lucky to have paid what I paid for it.

I’m interested in this T-1 Mini Hawk though, it looks amazing and its an easy size to manage… but I have two other jets in front of it I need to finish and fly first before I order another one…. Or so I keep telling myself…

Likewise. I own two T-1’s. Quality is awesome but I just can’t deal with the shipping prices from Asia. Ironically it’s only on these jets and hobby. Starting to wonder if it’s all a game. That’s why I am out. I will only pay when it’s available here in the United States. No more games. Not here in stock, not my problem.

FUNNY because I order. a Mirage from PJ (Dirk) and shipping to an US address was very reasonable ..the price of the Jet increase a bit from a year ago but nit that much..
