What is the scale? 1/4? Where do you buy these in the USA??? I love the quality of Skygate stuff. My wife is going to make me buy here a swimming pool though before I buy another jet..lol.

Can I say one thing constructive (to Skygate)? You guys really really need to work on your web page. It does not match the level of excellence your jets have.

Hi

P 160 -200......Stephan's will use the P 200.....but this beast is a huge glider like the Hawk, so the P160 should be enough.20kg dry should be no Problem..........I like this Aircraft very much-As you can See in the Picture. :-)

That's the problem with some of the Large German planes and the builders and pilots of them. Those megaplanes that wheighs 20 kg is way too light and they look like big fun-flyers in the air. Make them weigh 30-40 kg dry and then it will look so much better and scale. I have seen those BIG Hawks at Jetpower almost hovering in for a landing at walking pace or doing knife edges at 50 km/h and it just looks so ridiculous[:'(]
Just my opinion...

I'm sure you could add another 10-20 kg to it if you wanted it to be more wing loading... but why? Just fly it faster.

It's not just about the speed, but the whole presence in the air that looks very unrealistic.

Dave, if you have Hawks coming in please see my post on the Hawk build thread about the right flap. Mostly exquisite but a few problems need to be (easily) fixed

Regards,

David Gladwin.

If any of you who are looking to pick up a SG Hawk want a fully ducted upgrade I have detailed the construction through my build thread of a complete system, the components are available in an upgrade kit from Ali Machinchy.
