Dont forget to strengthen the fin spar, if yours from was from the same rubbish ply supplied from AirWorld.
If so you need to reinforce this spar with, , ideally, carbon fibre plate and cloth.
Otherwise you may lose the fin, and the jet. Mine failed , ( although the fin stayed on) Mick Burrels failed and he lost the jet.

Yea - I was well briefed on that before I started building. I used the original former but carbon plated it, which was also doubled up on the failure point and used carbon tape up the sides of the fuselage / fin which the former bonds on top of. The original former was pretty weedy.

What is correct CG?
Hello all.
I cant find info on correct CG for the 1:4,5 Hawk, it is mention in here that it should be 120mm in front of wingtube. That cant be correct that puts the CG way to forward I think.

Andy is finally getting to fly the Hawk again, it’s now got a JetCat P-160RXi-B powering it. Yesterdays flight in less than ideal conditions gave the impression it could be nose heavy. More testing when the weather corporates
