| 30 helisFor an inexpensive 30 that keeps right on flying without any problems you can't beat the basic Hawk IV for only $220.00 . If you add the $22.00 ball bearing upgrade package you will upgrade it into a very long enduring, slop free, precision control system. Just check out what all the people with them have to say on the showdown forum at www.rchelicopters.org
The SE version comes with a few more items and is a great buy for the price. Bearings on everything, FRP 550 blades, two radial and one thrust bearing in each tail rotor blade grip, an all metal swashplate, a great new head with the machined head hub, a more attractive canopy and fin set, etc.
As the servo and main rotor control system is much like your ZXX, you will find it easy to understand and set up.
For 3D you will find both the SE and the standard IV very easy to set up and fly. As you already have flight experience you would probably appreciate the FRP blades so I would suggest you try the SE. If you want to upgrade to a torque tube drive system, they have a very inexpensive conversion unit available. Then you will have a 30 heli that is world class in even the most demanding backwards manoevers.
I have also been informed that they will also be launching an inexpensive Constant Tail Rotor drive system at the Toledo show. It will be an easy fit for all Hawks and Falcon heli's.
Take a serious look at these heli's, I am sure you will really like them, just as most of us who have, do. |
