Will fly without smoke at first but will probably add it later. The Flash wing tank fits under the C-ARF main tank and is perfect for smoke fluid.

I'll post more shots later this week

OK good!~Ihave a tamjets smoke unit partially installed, still waiting for my gear, tank, radio tray etc <span style="font-size: medium">:-(</span>

Dave... did you have to add any weight up front to achieve the 7" balance point?

Still not finished the install, very busy work week last week scuppered my plan to have it finished, but I expect to have all the batteries in the nose, no weight expected. But I will fit Ejection seats and a pilot. The install board wants to be towards the front, plus valves etc.

Dave W

Surely time to start delagating or get that web site sorted.........then I can order the two 3301's (I stripped yesterday) when no ones in.

Very impressed with the lack of weight in the hawk shell had a look at Andy B's.

You can order 24/7...just email me!

Yes, great aeroplane-will get it done, very unexpected week last week with our best figures of the year...I'll be in the office on and off tomorrow catching up...

Dave, please post some pics of your front LG install. Iam interested in the distance from the tire to the front cutout as it swings down, THANKS

Dave do you have the recommended throw for the elevator? THANKS

G

Nose wheel clearance is around 35mm (1 3/8") Elevator up and down 30mm (1 1/4") with 30% expo

Dave

THANKS, Ishould be able to fly soon.....

Ifinally recieved my LG today...
quite nice!

Ishould be flying soon... :-)

G

Anything you need let me know

Reason found for my crash...

CG was to critical aft..
elevator throws where to much.
causing it to snap out and wing over.

to bad....

I'm having to shim the mains up a little to avoid the air connector on the bottom from hitting the wing surface
it's quite tight there!!!

isnt that door closing? or is the wheel not locked and up?

Sandor, you were correct about difficulties in creating a "tub" for the main wheels!

Dave: do you have a solution for the inner end of the main door cover? possibly hinging at the bottom
and moving it with a strut from the main?

I used RCJETMODELS hinges, very easy to use..no gluing, no brass rods

Sandor,what CG DID you use on that plane (sorry for your loss ) I am ready to fly (just waiting for good weather and Iwant correct CG,,, MANYTHANKS

sorry but i wont tell mine..
just because it could happen other guys will use these settings and have issue,s.
i correctly used the CG and throwsas recomended a few weeks ago.
this is a good lesson to better get pictures that show the actual CG then a phoneline CG and trow..
i lost my Hawk due to this wrong setting..

so how about that nosewheel does it stick out?

also i recomend you use 3 hinges , these are plastic right?.
the doors are fragile ..

yes using 3, the 3rd was just not in when the pic was taken
the nosewheel is fine...

I was going to hinge the door and fit a small spring, but this Hawk is supposed to be a sports model and doors always cause trouble so I cut the plate to clear....When I build my second one as a scale model I'll hinge them.

regards

Dave

Sandor

isnt that door closing? or is the wheel not locked and up?-Q

It was left half out to show the distance...

Dave

Yes that is a good option for a sport plane, THANKS

I realise re reading your earlier post, you know you can turn over the cylinder so the nipple is up (lower skin on the wing) no packing needed then

Dave

OK it's all in there now, Ionly had to use 1/32" so I will leave it for now, I just didn't want to damage that fitting...
any updates on CG?

ALSO have you ever used a JETTRONICSdoor sequencer?

7" is a good safe starting point. I am going to set mine at 7 1/4" back having spoken to the designer and hearing he has tried 7 3/4" back and was happy.

Yes, I've used the Jet Tronics Seq in an Airworld Panther
