Probably the most easily recognised advanced jet trainer in the world is the BAE Systems Hawk especially when it’s in the striking red livery of the Royal Air Force aerobatic display team, “The Red Arrows”.
Now E-flite brings all the glamour and pace of this famous aircraft to the modeller with its superb scale electric ducted fan model.
The model features a conventional built-up balsa wing and tail-plane covered in Ultracote and a lightweight pre-painted fibreglass fuselage with tandem seat canopy. The red, white and blue colour scheme represents a Hawk T1 aircraft from the Royal Air Force 4-FTS (Flying Training School) as displayed at RAF Coningsby during 1987 and is accurate right down to the Union flag (Jack) on the fin and rudder. Powered with the E-flite Delta-V 15 69mm ducted fan unit this model has blistering performance and is more than able to emulate its full-size counterpart performing all of the aerobatic manouvers with ease coupled with great vertical performance. Like the full-size its rock steady in any flight attitude making it ideal for modellers looking to advance on to high performance electric ducted fan models. The optional use tricycle landing gear with steerable nose leg gives the model impeccable ground handling allowing the model to take off and land on smooth surfaces or short cut grass and with the gear removed the model can be hand launched and safely “belly landed” back on the grass.

A comprehensive hardware pack and fully illustrated assembly guide make assembling this model an easy and enjoyable expireince and the model can be flight ready in just a few hours.
