BAe Hawk remote control airplane

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. E-flites BAe Hawk 15 DF ARF is a sport scale model of the British trainer. Constructed of fiberglass and balsa, the fuselage is pre-finished with scale details.

This remote control airplace boasts the rare and very visible Central Flying School airshow trim scheme from 1987 in red, white and blue. 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.
