Does anyone know of any website that will make the antennas/ vortex generators/ for this hawk as well as a light kit for it?

Also wondering if anyone found any decals for the LG to give it a more scale look to it.

Hi friend (sorry don't know your name),

At posts #609, #613 you can find idea how to do antennas, at final the weight for one not more then 3gr. By these technologies I'm going to create wortex generator for my Hawk.
About decals- I did order all technical signs from Tailormadedecals.com (I order WhaterSlide decals).

After aplaying just cover by clear glaze.

Here is placard for color number for gears.


Kind regards,
Sergey

Great! Thanks for the info. I just placed an order for this hawk in the desert camo scheme.

PS. I did read post 609 and 613. I don't have building scales like you so I was hoping to see if someone may of found a place that will sell these accessories.

Just for relax....
Custom paint helmet for my Hawk pilot:

There is just one way to ask SkyMaster, may be they will do for extra. In stock they do for large Hawk 1:3,5
Kind regards,
Sergey

Hey Sergey,
The helmet came out great!!

I noticed the same thing that the hawk 1:3,5 has them along with the vortex generators. Skymaster was also emailed to see if they might be able to provide them. Worst case scenario, I'll try to see if it can be 3D printed.

Btw, who they you order your pilots from for your hawk?

Andre

Hi Andre,
the pilot is SM production

But in stock he is wery heavy about 550gr and looks very simple, so I decide to do more light and looks more individual. I rebuild body used aluminum wire and rubber foam and repaint helmet, now he has weight 170gr, next will add parachute system straps.
Kind regards,
Sergey

You managed to save quie a bit of weight. I plan to order mine from warbirdpilots.com. Not sure what they weight though...

I ordered my light kit from Details4Scale.

Not heavy, 15" pilot (1/4,5-1/4 scale) has weight just 7oz (198gr). Probably will order second pilot for my bird from them, one pilot looks lonely in cockpit.

Kind regards,
Sergey

Thanks Dantley, I found it on their website but it doesn't show what lights come with it. Do you recal if it came with the light that mounts on the nose?

Sergey,

Would the 1/5th scale pilot fit better?

Andre

Yes, it comes with the nose light.

1/5 pilot is too small. The plane is 1/4 scale.

Ok thanks Dantley.

Have you been building anything these days?

Andre

I have a SM F-14 and 1/5 F-16 on the work bench.

Hi Andre,
I agree with "dubd" 1/5 pilot will looks too smal, 12" in 1/5 scale is just 150sm height - too young pilot ore dwarf
But there is some small problem with 1/4,5 pilot (7" - roughly 180sm height) to seat him in cocpit not enough space for shoes (under desk).....There two ways: cut and rebuild cocpit ore put pilot without shoes...I will follow the second way.
Kind regards,
Sergey

I used the 1/4 pilots from Skymaster and cut their legs. Worked out well.

Does anyone know if you need down elevator or up elevator mix for a 1/4.75 bae hawk or is that something you have to feel out on the maiden flight?

Hello Sportflya,
You don't need any elevator mix on this plane for the maiden flight.
I don't have any.
There is a slight down pitch variation when lowering the landing gear due to the under CG drag, but you can manage on the sticks.

Thanks captain Jacobs

So FINALLY my Hawk is in the US. I am going to pick it up on Tuesday in Irvine, CA. Just curious if anyone has a comprehensive list of the modifications/upgrades needed on the current version? It seems there still may be a door cylinder issue. Does anyone know what the most recent cylinder size is that's having issues?

Also I am looking at the BVM success packs. Is the Pack 1 worth it? I assume the manual from BVM is quite a bit better.

Any other recommendations before I get cranking on it?

Thanks!

Congrats! I just ordered mine last month. What scheme did you get? And how long ago did you plave your order?

Thanks! I ordered mine May 11 and came into California last week. So it took 30 weeks! Looking forward seeing it!

i got this scheme:
