Skygate Collection
BAE Hawk Mk 66
Accessories
This list will help you chose the main additional items needed to finish your Skygate Collection
BAE Hawk.
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.
1. Servos (minimum 8 high quality servos) All the main control surfaces require a minimum
20kg digital servo (two matched servos for the elevator control) such as the JR 8711 metal
geared servos. All the prototype Hawk models used JR 8711 servos.
2. Heavy duty aluminium servo arms are recommended for all flight surfaces
3. A receiver power supply system like the excellent Powerbox units are recommended using two
separate batteries through separate regulators. We used the PowerBox Cockpit SRS unit for the
example in this manual.
4. Turbines in the 160 - 200N thrust range have been used in the prototype aeroplanes. We used
a JetCat 180RX in the example for this manual.
5. Scale retractable Landing Gear sets are available from CARF Models (item no. 130500). The
Hawk was designed specifically around the German manufactured high quality sets that include
three units, plus specifically manufactured trailing link legs with associated ball raced wheels and
high quality brake units. A landing gear support pack is also available (item no. 130600). We
strongly recommend you use this proven high quality set comprising Jet Tronic valves, all gear
door rams, tubing, t-pieces and filler.
7. CARF models recommend a quality system radio system is used with 9 or preferebaly more
channels to allow individual servo connections to the receiver system. High quality extension
leads are required and a guide to the sizes and quantities required are listed below.
8. The Hawk features a large cockpit area which benefits from some additional detail. A very
detailed scale cockpit kit is available from CARF models to really complete your aircraft (item no.
130400)
9. CARF Models also have available an optional Speedbtake and associated pneumatic set.
