The Original:
The BAE Hawk is a two seated, single-engined
jet trainer par excellence. Many
countries use this plane to train
their pilots. The Hawk has experienced
many further developments and is
still in service. The US Navy use
their Goshawk (wich is derived from
the Hawk) on aircraft carriers,
the new Hawk 200 has been equipped
with ultra-modern electronics.
The original impresses by its huge
canopy and very pleasing proportions.
Many remote-controlled aircrafts
have been modeled on it. The Hawk
operates just under the sound barrier,
its wing thus being only slightly
back-swept.
The BAE Hawk is relatively small,
having a wing span of 9.39 m and
a length of 11.86 m. The engine
is a Rolls-Royce Adour 861 with
25400 N static thrust. Take-off
weight comes to between 4000 and
8750 kg.
|
The „genuine“ BAE Hawk thus achieves
a thrust-weight ratio of 0.30 –
0.65. Top speed is about 1013 km/h,
maximum climb rate 47 m/s.

The Model:
The BAE Hawk we are presenting
on this page was originally developed
by Benedikt von Arx. He designed
a beautiful semi-scale model for
our 90 mm ducted fan DS-51-DIA 3-ph.
For this model we produced CNC-milled
plug for wing and tailerons. We
now have a complete set of molds
ready for production.
The surface of our Hawk shows many
details like all big rivets and
panel lines. Proportions have been
copied true to original (except
for intakes and nozzle diameter).
The model’s construction is of very
high quality. Wing and stabs are
built as 100 % honeycomb sandwich,
the fuselage consists of a multilayer
laminate made of aircraft-grade
glass cloth. The result is an extraordinary
lightweight model with excellent
flight qualities |
The Hawk is easy to fly and optimally
suited for beginners in jet-flying
– even though it reaches top speed
of more than 200 km/h. The original’s
jet-acrobatic flying can easily
be imitated.
We recommend a drive system of
the 8S-class for this model, ideal
being e.g. our DS-51-DIA HDT
with a Lehner 1940-12 HA and 8 LIPO-batteries.
The model is controlled by the following
functions: elevator, aileron, rudder,
flaps and throttle.
All preparations for installation
of a retractable landing gear are
done.
We are offering two different landing
gears made of wire legs based on
the original’s geometry or made
of aluminium cast parts, already
coated in original colours. Moreover,
there will be several decal sets
available, so that you can realize
your favorite finish in no time.
