RE: SKyMaster Hawk brake elevators in flight
Hi, all
We’ve already get more proof and the owner of hawk from Taiwan can prove it.
It is a second-hand hawk that customer bought from somewhere else. The old owner bought a new fuselage to replace the crashed fuselage in an accdident.After that,
he sold repaired hawk to new owner as now. With the help of hobby shop, the customer had over 50 landings over the used hawk.
So,Skymaster doesn’t necessarily take liability for this hawk. I did have contact with the customer to express thanks to him for choosing Skymaster’s plane to fly. Although the customer didn’t buy wholly new plane from us directly,we still will make special offer for his next purchase of plane.
Best Regards
Anton

I did not want to be the first to admit, but some of mine too...

What's wrong with the landing in the video?? All my landings look like that!

Hi Morne,
Plywood is also a composite (of wood and glue) Which is why wooden, solid or laminated props are even found on fullsize aircraft, even U/C. But no props are made from microbaloons...
The problem (if there is one) could be that the sharp corners of the box structure is unsupported and therefore it will tear easily, especially since one edge is on a joining seam. Composites like glass and even worse Carbon tears very easy. They are very good in tensile but not shear or pressure. For tear resistance kevlar is used. In this case a support spar or even more layers of glass in just that small area will solve the issue. But the landing damage clearly played a part.
I still remember your (correct) concern for the damage my Roo had before I flew it again. It blew apart midair and I was lucky not to have hurt anyone. I learned a lesson that day.

BTW is Oudshoorn scale on this year?

Very interresting comments...
Wonder what ply structure is inside a carbon prop or a TOC carbon landing gear or GIANT composite bycycle frame...
The idea of composite is just the opposite to safe the weight. As far as i know composite materials are fragile but strong. If it was damaged it need replacing....
But then i absolutely know nothing about about composite materials and maybe an expert can help me out...

Considering the planes history, more than fair....
