The
BAe Hawk like the Aero
L59 and the Aermacchi 339
is a stylish EPP Power Scale Soarer (PSS), designed for the
sports flyer looking for something different. Like both the
Aermacchi, and the L59
the BAe. Hawk is an advanced jet trainer. It
again makes an ideal PSS subject due to its 'model' size proportions.
The construction follows the same pattern as the Tucano
and the Aermacchi i.e. EPP base
material reinforced with ply doubler and hardwood spruce spars.
The
Hawk will fly in surprisingly light winds for
this type of model, typically 6 - 10 mph. It will also fly
in the very strong winds with the aid of ballast. It will
peform most glider style aerobatics including loops and rolls
etc. Once again it will be noted for it's viceless handling
characteristics along with it's manoeurveability, not to mention
FUN factor. It makes an ideal aileron trainer for the
'improver' flyer looking for a model with a bit more style.
The kit contains all the necessary control linkages and assembly
materials except the glues which are 'runny' Superglue (cyno),
2 part epoxy and Spray impact adhesive. The wing and fuselage
profiles have been cut using computerised hot wire technology.
The only tools required to assemble the BAe. Hawk
are a sharp modelling knife, sanding block and a soldering
iron.
