hehe...it might take a few weeks before the first engine start :)

Im going to run it up in the Hawk..

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

i am running the jj from andy in my planes you want have a problem with it .

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

Sound`s good :-)

Have you messured the thrust form yours ?
is it a 1200 or 1400 ?

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

i got the 1200 running but not run the 1400 yet that is going in my stingray but i seen a few running just going to order another 1400 for my harpoon .mine are not full auto starts like yours .

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

as i no andy well what i say is a bit one sided .so it will be nice for some one independent to come on here with his jj from him and say what they think of it .not trying to restart the big jj debate on this page .

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

i am sure Sonnich can do a good review, a men who buy 3 rc jets a week must be good!..haha


cheers!

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

hehe...i wish!! [8D]

Hello Sonnich

Did the Hawk come with landing gear? my hawk was with landing gear, if not do you know a model who fit there?

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

No landing gear in my kit. Only some 4mm wire struts, which do not fit the springair retracts.

I carbon and glased the wing joint..

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

what is the sprinair model number? you will use the wire strut? not very nice!
they dont have something who look better?

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

I bought the springair second hand, in a bag......but they are new. There is no number other than a patent number stamped into them... so I dont know....
Im not going to use the wire struts as these will not hold up to the grass field opperation at my club.
I have not found the right soultion yet......time will see what I get [8D]


I installed the wings today. I beefed up the wing saddle aread both front and aft.
The wooden dowls where replaced with 7mm brass tubes, with carbon fiber tubes inserted into them.

Hi SJN

The hawk: 350$ usd and the JJ1400: 1200$usd total: 1550$usd wow that is the lower you can get a jet! SJN can you look how much it will cost you to put the bird in the air? my guess here you have find the cheapest jet to fly period![:-]

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

wel...I did not buy it in US dollars [8D]

299£ for the plane, and 915£ for the engine

And some more for all the stuff needed ;)

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

What type of servo you plan to use on this bird? hi-torque?

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

A little overkill.... , but this is what I have lying around.

1 HS-5954MG on the elevator 152.75 oz/in. (11kg.cm)
1 HS-5954MG on the rudder 152.75 oz/in. (11kg.cm)
1 HS-5645MG on both flaps 143oz/in. (10.3kg.cm)
1 HS-5645MG on the nose wheel steering
2 DS 5491 on the ailerons 5kg
1 hs-85mg on the gear up/down valve

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

Sonnich, can you fly that thing with a Dynamax/.91?

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

I dont know....I havn`t got DF experiance :)


but it says so on the instructions cover...

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

yes, I know of a couple on rcu who have flown it with both a 46 and 91 DF setup.

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

Got some second hand new Eurokit struts, that Im going to try out.
I still need a springair nose unit, but I think one is on its way [8D]

I also got the belly pan glued on.

Ive been working this week, so not much progress :)

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

do those struts fit right into the wells??

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

Nope.... Some of the foam in the wing will have to be removed.....small job.

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

SJN

Where are not all AME please find something easy to do![:@] you dont thing the eurosport gear are to big?

RE: AMD Hawk.
 

Who among you has the Hawk with a Wren44 installed and how does it fly? I'm curious with the weight saving the smaller turbine offers, also less fuel weight. Kmp offers an ARF with retracts at 6.25lbs. minus engine and radio gear. Thanks Doug
