fuselage. Whether you chose a single door or scale twin doors the cylinders base mount
to the top inside face of the fuselage shell. The angled face will require a packing piece
approximately 10mm thick before shaping. The cylinders should be fully extended with
the doors open, this will leave a few mm of travel when the door (or doors) close,
helping to resist opening from air pressure in flight.
Inlet ducts
The intakes are moulded separately for accurate scale appearance and allowing
additional access during the construction. Your chosen scheme will be factory painted to
match the fuselage detail making the job of fitting very simple. The fuselage shape can
benefit from a fixing screw adding in the splitter front corner. Use a piece of scrap wood
from the provided sheet and add a single self tapping screw from inside the cockpit. The
rear face of the inlet is glued with epoxy after removing the shine from both surfaces.
Note the lower 40mm or so does not require glue as it forms part of the front wing joint.
Equipment bay installation
Experience with the three prototype Hawk models confirms that the Hawk benefits from
as much weight kept forward in the cockpit area as possible. You are aiming for a
balance point between 190mm and 200mm back from the fuselage/wing joint. If you
intend using a scale cockpit set some adjustment of the battery position maybe required.
The equipment tray provided can be positioned to suit your preferred set-up, but is
probably best kept towards the front of the cockpit opening. With such a large canopy
glass area painting the cockpit area in a dark colour will help give the impression of a
scale cockpit, even with minimal detail added.
The radio plate has several cut-outs factory cut. The notch in one end can either be used
for a header tank or ECU battery placement on the floor. Either side of this, slots and
holes are formed for the Rx and turbine ECU allowing Velcro ties to secure them firmly.
If you are fitting the recommended Powerbox unit (Evolution, Competition or Champion)
the plate includes two cut-outs for the unit and wiring.
Composite ARF recommend that you fit a Powerbox unit using a true duel battery system
and featuring signal boosting electronics. This product is available through C-ARF.
We placed the header tank in front of the wing former to keep the tube from the main
