FMS 80mm Red Arrow Hawk

[Porkster]

Hope you don't mind me starting a thread for the FMS Hawk.
I had the maiden of mine yesterday in less than ideal conditions but it still flew very well so I thought I would share my video and future experiences with it here.

I thought it flew very well and tracked impeccably despite the gusty conditions. I'm very impressed with the smoothness of the fan and overall quality of the build which was very quick indeed with very little needing to be done other than bolt the wings and tails on, check the surfaces and plug in your Rx.
I like it a lot and look forward to many more flights.

Looks good. I've got one order. I've quit flying my FW Mig -21. It's a great plane, but I just can't see it well enough to be comfortable. I hope the Hawk will alleviate that problem for me.

I think you'll really enjoy it, the red really pops even when you're far away. I flew it pretty big on the maiden just to get used to it and could still very easily orientate it.

[davecee]

That's reassuring.

I’ve got my CG at the factory recommend point with a 5000mah 70c battery weighing around 750g

Finally got to fly my hawk this weekend! I’m in love with it.

[Porkster]

Nice one!
it's a great flyer

Mines looking a little worse for wear as I was flying it last in 30mph gusts and landing was pretty tricky. It ended up getting flipped over when landing and doing a fair amount of damage. Still even in 30mph winds it flies great.
new parts have been ordered

Just finished changing over the fuselage. Added the calie graphics det cord too.
Mucked up one of the stickers, which I couldn’t change with out it wanting to remove a lot of paint. I’m just going to have to live with it :(
glad to have it back again though!

[Regatoni5]

Crashed a red arrow and got a fuse and wing to repair it. Red arrow was a little old so I tried to spice it up a bit.

[Porkster]

Nice. Good to be different.
When I rebuilt my 'fuse I removed the top intakes and carved out a fair bit of foam to make them more functional. Not sure it needs it but was happy with the way its tuned out.
