Today I have picked up some revised equipment trays form the cnc shop, my original hand milled ones were not quite right and made it difficult to remove them with the smoke tank in place, so I redesigned them.
I had them drawn in DXF so the items could be cut from any material required, I use FR4 or glass board as they need to be strong as they replace the wooden towers the gear door cylinders mount to as well as holding all the key equipment.

The two trays will hold air valves and sequencer, powerbox/Rx's and ECU, together with connection to most of the air supplied hardware. It fits to the wood rail which runs across the front of the rear fuselage section so keeps the electronics with this section when split
resulting in less connection to remove when the plane is split for transport or storage. Individuals can further lighten the decks as they require.

These fit the Skygate Hawk, if there is sufficient demand I will do the same for the Tomahawk Hawk.

If anyone would like a set in ply or FR4 please let Ali know, he will be able to give you the details.

Marc,

Defo a set for the TomaHawk pls

Marc,

Will these clear the rear cockpit ejection seat?

David S

David, they sit in the space behind the rear angled cockpit panel so do not interfere.

Marc,

Now you have them as CAD files, can you easily alter them to allow for a dual RX version for those not using a spektrum Powerbox?

Happy to provide the Royal and RXs to aid with the layout alterations!

Cheers
Mark

Hi Marc,

The inlet kit looks amazing - you're a magician. Could you give me an idea around the timing for the Tomahawk version?

Regards Craig.

Craig,

I have done the formers for the new tank (6.5L unit) which is the same one as for the Skygate Hawk conversion, also done the turbine rails and new formers to accept the new carbon bypass, the carbon bypass plug is done as its the same as the Skygate unit so will take up to P200.
Whats left is making the new inlet ducts, depending on demand for this kit which I hope to get an idea shortly after Jetpower, I can either crack on then and get the stuff done - possibly late October/November time for full complete kits.

Cheers for the comments and interest, the Skygate I am building for a customer is really looking good now all the intakes are in, new tank, smoke tank etc.....

Do you have the Tomahawk upgrade done? my kit arrived today... and i am thinking to construct with bypass

Heraldo

Heraldo,

it is unlikely I will be doing the kit for this hawk as there really is not much interest in it and to go through the process of making all the parts is just not economical, I have and can cut the formers for the turbine and 6.5L tank upgrade, should also be able to do a few sets of wing fences and fin strakes etc in thin FR4 for the odd customer but ducts are not likely.

I have a few friends who I promised ducts to so these will be done after Jetpower when I should have some time.
