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 this 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 its more than able to emulate its full-size counterpart
performing all of the aerobatic manouvers with ease coupled with great vertical
performance, and just 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 tricycle landing gear with steerable nose leg give the model impeccable ground
handling allowing the model to take off and land on smooth surfaces or short
cut grass, and whilst designed for experienced sport scale pilots, the BAe Hawk
15 DF ARF easily lives up to its reputation of being a stable flying jet.
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.
