I got one from my wife as a Christmas present and I am currently building it. The mechanics are Hawk 4 so it has the larger main shaft, part ali. swash etc. I have also added the full BB kit to it. The build of the mechanics is very easy (typical Hawk) however there are some mistakes in the instruction manual - no problem if this is not your first heli.

The only problem that I have is the gel coat finish to the cabin and fuel tanks. On mine the cabin has about a 1/8" band of gel coat missing around the centre of the cabin and the fuel tank joints also have the gel coat missing. This is not a problem for me as I am going to spray the parts anyway but it is something to check if you do get one.

All in all I would say it is very good and if it flies as well as my Hawk 1 I will be very pleased.

The doors are held in position by two spring pins and the doors are held shut by two strong magnets. Very simple but effective !!

Hi Moose,
They have more then one color red and yellow, is that true? red gel coat or yellow gel coat? can you fly without painted?

Yes there are two colours, red and yellow.

You can certainly fly it without painting, the cabin, fuel tanks etc are all yellow or red gelcoated. If fact, if you are staying with either of these colours and just want to make it look a bit more authentic, all that would actually need painting is the boom and tail supports - the boom is the normal black ali. and the four boom supports are natural ali.

The gel coat on mine was chipped when it arrived but this did not worry me as I am going to spray everything anyway - my distributor would exchange the chipped parts but it is not worth the bother as everything is going to be sanded down etc. before spraying.
