However, as manufacturers, we at CARF Models are not in a position to influence the way you build and operate your model, and we have no control over the methods you use to install, operate and maintain the radio control system components. -
Page 3: Important/General Notes
Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 Gravity’ is located in the recommended place. Use the nose heavy end of the CG range for your first flights. A tail heavy plane can be an enormous danger for you and all spectators. Fix any weights, and heavy items like batteries, very securely into the plane. - Page 4 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 we normally use, and what we can truly recommend. Please don’t use inferior quality glues - you will end up with an inferior quality plane, that is not so strong or safe. Jet models require good gluing techniques, due to the higher flying speeds, and hence higher loads on many of the joints.
- Page 5 Some of the recommendations are mandatory and some can be sourced and chosen by you. The items we list here are highly recommended by CARF Models, and have been tested on various prototype aircraft used during the development of this aeroplane.

- Page 8 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 Thrust Tube Assembly and Turbine Installation The thrust tube is manufactured as a stainless steel inner pipe rolled and spot welded for you at the factory. At the tail end of the pipe there is an outer aluminium augmenter designed to help draw cool air through the fuselage and over the pipe as well as to give a scale appearance.
- Page 9 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 The setup has been designed to position the seam of the pipe at the very top. Once you have fitted the pipe you must check that it is square before permanently attaching the two pieces. Then mark and drill the pipe through the bypass Ø3mm, at 4 points equally spaced around the pipe.

Page 10: Fuel Tank
Fuel tank CARF Models offer an optional moulded Kevlar fuel tank of 5.2 ltr capacity, which is installed in the fuselage on the C of G . The tank is moulded with a deeper rear trough to retain fuel towards the end of the tank and a blister in the front forward section for the vent to go up to allowing maximum fill capacity. - Page 11 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 Use Tygon tube for the clunk line, where the clunkline passes through the baffle insert a section of brass tube as the glass fibre edge can easily cut through the tygon tube. The supplied soft clunk will become heavier when charged with fuel and easily reach all areas of the fuel tank.

Page 12: Important Note
Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 IMPORTANT NOTE: On early kits the elevator servos are fitted towards the front of the fuselage with a carbon pushrod actuating the tailplane. The following work MUST be carried out on the pre-fitted elevator pushrod. Do not skip this step. - Page 13 The elevator servos are mounted in the top of the rear fuselage just behind the canopy opening. CARF Models recommend each servo to be at least 25kg of torque. We have used 2 x JR8711 servos fitted with 1.25 inch aluminium servo horns. Nylon or plastic servo horns must not be used here.

Page 14: Ventral Fins
All you have to do is fit the servo and pushrod assembly. CARF Models recommend a 25kg digital servo for the rudder such as the JR8711. The servo mounting Fig. 28... - Page 15 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 plate is integral to the fin structure and the mounting holes are pre drilled for you. Before installing the servo make sure it is centred and fit a high strength servo arm (aluminium or carbon reinforced is recommended).
- Page 16 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 servo extension lead to exit the top of the fuselage near the fin post - see figure 32. The fin fits over the aluminium fin post at the rear and locates with the carbon peg at the front, finally securing with an M3 x 15 allen bolt at the very front.
- Page 17 The flap surfaces are installed for you at the factory with beautiful scale hinging. What remains is for you to install the servo and linkage. CARF Models recommend a 25kg torque digital servo like the JR DS8711 for the flap surfaces.
- Page 18 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 servo arm on the servo and install the servo in the wing using 2.9 x 13mm sheet metal screws. Using the M3 x 135mm threaded rod supplied screw on 2 x M3 nuts (one at each end) and then screw on the supplied aluminium ball link.
- Page 19 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 allen bolts and spike nuts. Please note the orientation of the spike nuts with the flat face against the ply rather than the spiked face as would normally be the case. Fit the stop collar to the ram shaft and secure losely in place ready for final adjustment later.
- Page 20 Attach the steering servo frame to the nose unit with the M3 dome head screw supplied and fit the servo using the M3 x 10 allen bolts supplied. CARF Models recommend using an analog metal gear servo such as the JR ES579.
- Page 21 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 will fit well and then remove it again. Leave the first half to cure. Once the first half is securely bonded you can now add some balsa blocks to the inside of the first half.
- Page 22 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 with 4 x large self tappers supplied. When both wings are completed to this stage the wings should be fitted to the aircraft to position the legs for accurate tracking. Check the retracting motion again at this time to make sure the assembly retracts nicely into place and the fuselage gear doors can close without obstruction.
- Page 23 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 Once the filler has set you can lift up the door and remove the perfectly profiled fillet piece. The cling film will have stopped the filler sticking to the leg or the door. Trim all the excess filler from around the edges and bond the fillet in place on the door skin with epoxy.
- Page 24 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 You can now locate the best place for fixing the mouting lug on the gear door by tacking it in place in the closed position and checking that it opens freely without fouling the strut door. Once you are happy with the location of the lug, secure in place with hysol or similar.
- Page 25 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 Again by laying the glass over the frame you can now mark up the area to be cut on all sides. Make it larger rather than smaller as you can always trim more off as you go.

Page 26: Equipment Layout
Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 fit into the pre installed latching tube in the canopy frame. A substantial length of cable is attached to the latch pin to allow you to route it where you feel necessary. We found the simplest solution to have the pull cable just inside one of the vents behind the “bunny ears”. - Page 27 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 which position. Tack each in place with cyano and then apply a bead of hysol / epoxy on each side to secure in place. The joints can then be painted to finish. Fig. 80 Fig.
- Page 28 Skygate Collection BAE Hawk Mk 66 Balancing The final weight of your Hawk will vary depeding on your equipment / turbine choice and the amount of scale detail you might choose to add. Prototype models have come out at just under and just over 20kg dry.
