Anyone building the Fei Bao Hawk?
Thinking of buying one for my next project. I thought it was the old Skymaster Hawk, but it is larger.
Having had problems with the Jet Legend Hawk, I want to avoid a similar situation. The other alternative is to wait for the new Skymaster Hawk.
If anyone is building one, your thoughts would be welcome.
Regards
Jim

RE: Anyone building the Fei Bao Hawk?

I am 99% sure this is the old SM Hawk, Feibao used to make the models for SM ( Which, incidentally came as a big surprise to me!) The length quoted on the Feibao website is 87" same as the SM version and the span is 74" which is 2" bigger than the SM version but quite often the dimensions on these websites are incorrect. No prices on the website so I don't know where you would order one.
If it is the old SM Hawk it is a good model and should not give you any problems, I am using a Wren SS in mine with the Wren tailpipe. The only modification I would make is to replace the brass elevator bearings with two ball races of 8mm internal diameter to ensure totally free elevator movement, as the central joiner is unsupported there is also some lateral movement of the joiner with servo input and this can cause some friction at the bearings.
Personally I would wait for the new SM Hawk if the prices are similiar, it should be more scale than the original it will have the ball raced elevator and it is supposed to be lighter.

RE: Anyone building the Fei Bao Hawk?
Go for it jascat!
i just recieved the hawks here and was very impressed with the quality.
very very complete , stickers allready under the transparant paint.
the cockpit changed with a half one , so that the front part stays on the model itself (like the airworld l-39)
looks much better.
also came with all fins.
the box was extremely good packed.
i just oredered more of them to keep on stock.
however i dont like the gears and did not order them , they are still the same ones as from day one.
but i was positive suprised about the new quality from FeiBao and now i will start taking orders!

there still must be one somewhere
it is pretty basic like "strong more" and things
i recomend the jet-1a package.
this can hold it with easy without braking out.
and most important springs can be exchanged.
if you need anything give me a call or talk to me on jetpower
i can always set you up and you can check the quality.
i think i will take one to jetpower for people to look at.
and dont worry i actualy flew one
and ali machinchy wrote stuff about it in this forum once about the correct C&G

DEAR ANTON,
Thank you for your video.
We flew with a SIMJET 2300AES, dry weight was 9,9kg (without missiles and wing tanks).
She flew well but we have had some problems:
-Flutter on both ailerons> I think itÂąs due to the weight of the ailerons, very heavy and also the trailing edge is too thick. -Both tyres went out off the rim when landing> It cannot work as it is made, the rim is flat and the tyres are not fixed to the rim! -Fin splits in 2 parts> you have a big problem to work with fiberglass, the quality is really not good!
Following the weight of the components of the RAFALE kit we received: Canopy 290g could be 200g Canard (pair) 200g could be 100g Wing halves 630g could be 500g Fuselage (complete) 4000g Fin 335g could be 200g Tail pipe 400g Missile and tank set: 1070g

RE: Anyone building the Fei Bao Hawk?
SJN...Anton Lin? He is selling FeiBao? I'm confused...
Jascat...if you are looking for a sure thing, this ain't it, is it? As far as I know, these are the old Skymaster molds, but who knows what has been changed? If you want a sure thing, get a Skymaster Hawk from a Skymaster dealer. This one, well, let Sandor test fly the Feibao kit for a bit instead. Nice to hear that he is pleased with the quality out of the box...but the JL Hawk looked great out of the box, too, no?

i had the "old"skymaster one and flew great.
and for that money you cant complain.

RE: Anyone building the Fei Bao Hawk?
I'm sure it will be okay, but like you said, it IS different from the SM one. And who knows how those differences affect the way the plane flies?
Jascat says he is looking for a sure thing...well...this is not it!
Anxious to hear about how yours goes together and flies.

the wings are exactly the same , so is the fuselage.
just the cockpit is different and more scale , so are the fins , rivets.
whatever it is he quality is improved with 100%very nice paintjob also.

RE: Anyone building the Fei Bao Hawk?
Easytiger, the coments about the Rafale that SJN posted are from the Rafale that was build at the Fei Bao Factory when they used to make some jets for Skymaster. They are comments from the test flights of the prototype. The new ARF PLUS Rafales from Skymaster are build in the new Skymaster factory and have nothing to do with the old ones, the new one is even bigger and it is in the very early stages of the whole proccess...

RE: Anyone building the Fei Bao Hawk?
For the people that has concerns of this issue of Fei Bao and the letter below, I will just simply explain this issue once. For the people that has been in the RCU longer, this issue is just a repeated history of bad luck for Skymaster joint venture with the manufacture in China. Basically, Fei Bao is still part owner of Anton (Skymaster Owner) but his Chinese partner has robbed and took over the production facility. All of design by Anton has become lost and it's under someone's name. I will no longer discuss this issue, for the people that's concerned of this issue might be able to referral from the previous post on RCU. This is the second similar issue, when Skymaster found the wrong partner in China.
This letter below is from JF BOUDET , a French Copamy, he had a misunderstanding that the Fei Bao have the same production as Skymaster, even without the quality control by Skymaster. Although the Rafale the first photo type is design by Anton, however the production took place after Anton been robbed and force to leave. So this French Company, he thought can have the same quality products as the Skymaster but just have the cheaper source from China. This letterwas written after they received the Rafale from Fei Bao (not from Skymaster). This French company was unsatisfied, and he has sent an email to Anton to notify him that he made a discovery that the quality is different from Skymaster. Therefore this letter is addressed to Anton (Skymaster).

and now i got one from feibao,the difference was huge!.
the feibao outperformes the skymaster with quality.
strange that you just can bash another company.
as always the thruth is somewhere in the middle.
lets say i am doing business for years in china , and everything get copied by everyone.
there is no way controlling this.
so just get on , and make sure skymaster does what they promisse....

RE: Anyone building the Fei Bao Hawk?
Hi Guys,
Not the same kit but I am building the chippy ho F-18 and it is 90% finished,
just got the speed brake, pipe and engine (PST 1300) to go and its ready to go.
the kit had no manual so it was a bit wasn't to bad to work out where eveything had to go.
The scale retracts they supply are very good and + lock up and down with no problems.
just need to work out the CG, w/o the missiles, drop tanks is will be aprox 27-28 pounds,
they will be added later depending on how it is to fly.
the finish is as good as any of the arf jets on the market.
The main thing will be how good it goes on its test flight!!!! I will know soon enough
The hawk should be a very good quality kit to. just try not to over do the accessories to keep the weight down
as lite as you can.
cheers Pete

Thanks guys.
Sandor. Does it come with an instruction manual & most importantly, a C of G setting?
Do you supply the complete gear package?
