Help required for Jim Fox Hawk
 

I am currently refurbishing a Jim Fox Hawk that I bought second hand.

I have all the instructions and plans but think I may have missed something.

I have details of the control deflections required but cannot find anywhere that says where the tailplane neutral point should be. can anyone help? Is there anything on the fuselage that I can line the leading edge of the tailplane up with? Alternatively does anyone know what incidence the neutral point should be set at?

Thanks for your help.

Good place to start would be to 0 deg it to the wing.... Trim after takeoff...

I agree, i do not recall any preset incidences. Just set 0 0 to wing.

Im thinking about buying a Jim Fox hawk. Can you let me know how yours flys? Also, I wont have the instruction manual...If I buy it, can I get a copy from you?

Whcih Hawk is it? the small one or the 1/6 scale one?

RE: Help required for <span class=
 

I got the gen direct from the horses mouth. The tailplane can be set by lining up the T.E. with the top of the fuselage for the first flight. I don't know if this equates to 0 deg incidence. He was really helpful, by the way!

If you need a copy of the 1/7th scale Hawk instructions I can help you out.

If you are buying a built one there is not much in the instructions to help. I can easily post CG, control deflections and flying tips if that is all you need.

Have you flown it yet?? This will be my second jet, first turbine and I was wondering how it flies.
