Overview
Designed as a trainer and light combat aircraft for use by the British Royal Air Force, the British Aerospace (BAe) Hawk was mainly used to teach air combat, air-to-air firing, air-to-ground firing, low-altitude flying techniques and operation procedures. There are currently over 900 Hawks in operation and nearly 2 million flying hours have been logged on the Hawk.
E-flite’s BAe Hawk 15 DF ARF is a sport scale version of the British trainer. Constructed of fiberglass and balsa, the fuselage is prefinished with scale details. The Hawk boasts the rare and very visible Central Flying School airshow trim scheme from 1987 in red, white and blue.
This exciting model was designed around E-flite’s Delta V 15 (69mm) fan unit and matched 15 DF brushless motor. Pilots can use a 3-cell battery pack or utilize a 4-cell battery pack for increased vertical performance. The built-in fan mounts make installing the fan easy—just drop in the fan unit and tighten four screws. The removable front hatch also allows easy access to the radio equipment and battery. The entire trim scheme is prepainted, pre-trimmed, the wings are covered in UltraCote and all the decals have already been applied. Created for the advanced sport scale pilot, the BAe Hawk 15 DF ARF
easily lives up to its reputation of being a stable flying jet.
Specs
Easily removed large hatch for access to all radio equipment and battery. Optional pilot figures sold separately (PKZ4414).
Side access hatch allows easy removal of motor and fan unit. Fully prepainted vertical fin gives added details in appearance without using decals.
The BAe Hawk’s high-quality fiberglass fuselage provides strength and durability while the painted finish resists dents and dings.
The elevator linkages are concealed to give the Hawk a cleaner, more scale-like appearance. The thrust tube comes assembled from the factory.
E-flite’s Delta V 15 (69mm) Ducted Fan Unit (EFLDF15) gives the BAe Hawk DF plenty of power. It should be matched with an E-flite 15 DF Brushless Motor, 3600Kv (EFLM3015DF), an E-flite 60A Pro switch-Mode BEC Brushless ESC (EFLA1060) and a 3S 11.1V 3200mAh 20C Li-Po battery pack (EFLB32003S).
