FMS sent us the Hawk 80mm to review. We enjoyed flying it. The jet has few bad tendencies, although the gear doors do tend to interfere with roll when the gear are deployed if you're flying with a high rate / gear up and low rate / gear down setup like we do. If you'd like your own Hawk, consider supporting us at no additional cost by purchasing via bit.ly/Hawk80mm.

I got the Arrows 50mm BAe Hawk for $100. No flaps, but with Vector and a full flight envelope, it rivals my sport prop planes for maneuverability.

FMS hat👍😁👏👏👏 MY nx6, had to return it after 1st update, 2 yrs ago. 4th time, it came back fixed, with a FREE Spektrum cap!👍🤪! (I wear that cap EVERY fly day. & yes THAT CAP has made me the pilot I am today!!! My story & I'm sticking with it!)

OFF topic, but, I picked up an Eflite Prometheus last Saturday. Put 100a avian esc in, left everything else stock. Maidened yesterday in 15mph winds. Impressive is an understatement. Eflite NEEDS this 1 back!!!

@old-rcplane-phart Год назад

BUT, nowadays that CZ Prometheus 1.2m, 10 yr old, $329.99 plane would probably be pushing $1000.

@fastr144 Год назад

this is byfar my favorite rc jet. I've had one since its initial release and still love flying it to this day. I've cut the battery compartment out to push a 4500 flight pack 1.25 inches past where the original wall would be and it flies amazing with low rates. wheelie landings all day and great flight times.

@txkflier Год назад

I bought one of these for $389 back in May from Fair RC on Amazon. I figured it was a V1, but it was actually the new version and came with the Reflex gyro. Of course, I use Spektrum receivers with AS3X/SAFE so I didn't use the Reflex gyro. It flies great and weighs a lot less than the 90mm Freewing T-45 I just got. I had to play with the wire that operates the main gear doors to get them to work reliably. I would say it's one my top four EDF's..

The Red Arrows paint scheme really pops in the Sun. Oddly, the RAF did an extensive color scheme study to optimize air to air visibility and they picked solid black for the Hawk T2. Probably because there is no Sun in the UK.

E-flite F-14 twin 40mm edf jet.......the missing birdy. Can you tell me and your other subscribers where the missing birdy is??? I know it's unrelated to this jet here. But I've asked alot of people um sure many viewers would love to know as well. I have watched many of your videos...their awesome! So are you and the camera work, collection in the hangar, content, great tips and tutorials love it all. Thank you so much for all of this great content! I thought I was subscribed already but will confess I just realized I was not but that has been corrected! I am also going to all channels I watch videos from and making sure I am subscribed as I post the same question the same way to all of you and just left rcgeek channel after subscribing and sorry once again "looking for info on the missing birdy" You have some pull that we , most of the viewers do not have. I believe HH will be more inclined to answer you. I can say for sure I have not gotten an answer to this question. My favorite video from you so far, the F-22 90mm without thrust vector but super throws, the FMS a10 V2 super heavy but awesome jet and I'm from Alaska so the scheme, the best! It's actually a real thing to. It was an aggressor out of Fort Richardson Fairbanks, AK along with the F-16 the aggressor scheme was a real thing. In Anchorage we have the F-22'S, see those guys daily and they keep the F-35's in Fairbanks now. They did the same with F-15's and F-16's when those were are front line fighters they kept them seperate. Anyway I'm now for sure a loyal subscriber... can you find the missing birdy? Eflite F14 twin 40mm. Thank you so much!

@TwoBrosRC Год назад

We don't work for HH and we don't have insider information that we can share. Even if we did have information, we couldn't share it because we would have signed an agreement stating such. We have no idea where the 40mm F-14 is but it's presumably coming out at some point. Like what happened with the F-15 from MRC, the jet probably got damaged in shipping coming to the US and a new batch had to be made with reinforced shipment packaging. That's our guess anyhow.

Good video! Hawk is great bird for sure. Some of the problems described are from the total weight of the battery and CG...

Hey guys! Just found your channel, and I think it's great. I'm not far away in Dunn. I want a fun cub, but they're outrageous. What would you suggest as a comparable STOL?

Hey Robert! You're definitely not far away at all. We'd recommend the FMS Kingfisher. Having flown it and a Funcub, the Kingfisher is very similar to it in terms of light wing loading: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SaFHqlSE9h0.html If you want one for yourself, consider getting it via bit.ly/FMSKingfisher at no additional cost.

@SanDiegoUteFan 5 месяцев назад

Hey Jon, Nice review. I just picked one up built but never flown. 1. Should I go with SMC 4400 or 5300? I have both. Best battery placement? 2. Would Reflex with the AR620 or unprogrammed AR630 work well? Or should I just remove Reflex? 3. What’s your final fix for the pesky gear doors? Thanks in advance!

@TwoBrosRC 5 месяцев назад

It won't fly as long on the 4400, but won't stall anywhere near as easily and it will handle better overall with the lighter wing loading. Reflex is OK, but AS3X is significantly better because it can be customized via your transmitter. We'd recommend removing the weight and using AS3X. We highly recommend going with an AR637 for maximum signal quality since it has two antennae that can be placed away from potential RF interference sources on the aircraft. The 620 and 630 have internal antennae which can be prone to signal loss on complex models like the Hawk. bit.ly/AR637T We never fixed the gear doors. They really don't bother us much. What we did end up doing is adding a tailwheel to the jet because the 3600 packs we fly on allow it to wheelie with ease, which was scraping up the tail. The tailwheel prevents this entirely. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GTf_cI0Sbtc.html To keep in touch or ask questions easier, try joining us on Discord: bit.ly/TBRCDiscord

Jon last question What settings did you use for flaps? 20 and 40 degrees?

We don't have exact measurements - it's just full and half, so 100% flap and 0% (on a scale of -100 - 0 - 100)

No idea, we've never flown the Arrows Hawk. This jet would definitely be a good trainer jet if you're interested in a modern military trainer. It's not particularly hard to fly, and if you have some experience already, it should be a good choice.

@jeffhenderson934 Год назад

I’m not sure I’ve had an EDF fly right out of the box as good as this one. I yanked out the Reflex v2 and went with a Spektrum 6 channel Smart receiver. I don’t think it’s ever been flown using AS3X and I’m sure it’s never been in Safe. That whole aeronautical engineering thing I guess skips a generation, so I have no idea why this jet could be the easiest of the 80mm’s to fly. Where I enjoy the Bae Hawk the most is on landings. It’s very similar to the Eflite 90mm Viper, or even easier. It’s only been 8 years, and I’m just now understanding how important Center of Gravity is on landings.

@laserlionfabrication2447 Год назад

You'd have to use a Hobbywing reversing ESC for the A-10 with enough servo channels to support it. The Hawk was a fun jet to fly though, especially off-camera after Will left and I had to just tear ass with it to burn up the remaining batteries I'd charged. We just modded the battery bay to remove about three inches of foam and reinforced the foam on the bottom with wood and gorilla glue to get the battery further back for the next vid we shoot with it.
