Crashed? Discussion and Photos > Century Hawk pilled in

Here is my poor Century Hawk.

I was started doing stall turns today, they went fine.
Then I thought I would try a split s, and this is the result. I had it going fast enough, good climb, then I decided that it was too far out. I tried to abort and lost orientation, brought it in hard from about 150'.

I did not remember to hit Throttle Hold before it crunched so the motor was cranking good, but no chicken dance at least, the power switch was flipped off in crash so it smoked the clutch. I think it held up good for hitting that hard. I will probably haft to get another one since this is a Hawk version 1 and a lot of the new stuff will not work in this version.

I was shocked the wood blades did not snap.

Sorry about the crash. When I started rebuilding a smashed and damaged Hawk, the parts cost came near what a new one was, so I opted for the upgraded Hawk Pro with the torque tube tail drive. Also Pro has upgraded main shaft from 8mm to 10mm.

Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have. !
