B.A.E. HAWK

7. A radio system with a minimum of 7 channels is needed, but C-ARF recommend a

quality system with 9 or more channels to allow individual servo connections to the

receiver system (talk to your C-ARF rep for advice on a suitable system) High

quality extension leads are required and a guide to the sizes and quantities

required are listed below.

8. The Hawk features a large cockpit area which benefits from some additional

detail. Our Hawk is a perfect starting point for a scale aeroplane, adding

additional cockpit detail using products like the 1:5 scale ejector seats from

Graupner and canopy glass MDC from Taylor Made Decals will add to the

already impressive look of this iconic aeroplane.
