freewing Hawk T1 Red Arrow 70mm

INTRODUCTION

Perhaps the most versatile British advanced trainer jet in the world, the BAe Hawk has been in service for over 40 years. Operated at its peak by 18 countries in various trainer and light combat roles, the Hawk T1 variant was also popularized by the Red Arrows display team, whose expert piloting demonstrations have amazed audiences worldwide for generations.

Freewing and Motion RC are proud to present this well-loved aircraft as a 70mm EDF powered electric flying model. The Freewing 70mm Hawk T1 features a powerful 12 bladed EDF power system for satisfying speed, vertical performance, and realistic sound.

With a 6s 2600mAh-4500mAh LiPo battery, the 6s power system can achieve a top speed of approximately 160kph / 100mph. Retractable landing gear, flaps, and a wide gear stance make the aircraft well suited for intermediate jet pilots and short grass runways. An optional suspension strut set is available if more shock absorption is desired. A large battery bay provides easy access to your battery, receiver, and an optional gyro stabilizer.

To enhance visibility, the Freewing 70mm Hawk T1 also features the signature bright white nose light of the real aircraft, and sports bright red and green wingtip lights as well. This is the only Freewing 70mm Class aircraft to include pre-installed lighting!
Celebrating the Red Arrows Demonstration Team’s approach to 40 years with their BAE Hawks, the Freewing Hawk T1 is finished in one of the iconic Red Arrows liveries. It is our hope that as you enjoy this model aircraft, you will spread the love of flight and of this historic aircraft’s contributions to aviation history.

5. This plane used the EPO material with surface spray paint, don’t use chemical to clean, otherwise it will damage.
6. You should be careful to avoid flying in areas such as public places,high-voltage-intensive areas, near the highway, near the airport or any other place where laws and regulation clearly prohibit.
7. You cannot fly in bad weather conditions such as thunderstorms, snows.
8. Model plane’s battery, don’t allowed to put in everywhere. Storage must ensure that there is no inflammable and explosive materials in the round of 2M range.
9. Damaged or scrap battery should be properly recycled, it can’t discard to avoid spontaneous combustion and fire.
10. In flying field, the waste after flying should be properly handled, it can’t be abandoned or burned.
11. In any case, you must ensure that the throttle is in the low position and transmitter switch on, then it can connect the lipo-battery in aircraft.
12. Do not try to take planes by hand when flying or slow landing process. You must wait for landing stop, then carry it.

PNP lnstallation Instructions

Traction steel wire use instruction
To minimize servo connections, the Elevator and Rudder servos’ wires each reach from the servo itself directly to the receiver. A rigid steel wire hook is included in the box to allow you to pull the servo wires through the model’s internal fuselage.

Install Horizontal Stabilizer
As shown in the photo below:

1. Insert the elevator servo cable into the wire channel in the rear portion of the fuselage.
2. Use traction wire to pull the elevator servo cable to the battery compartment.
3. Install the elevator on the rear fuselage and secure with 4pcs screws (PA2.6×10).
   A- Elevator servo cable
   B- Elevator wire channel
   C- Elevator
   D- Screw (PA2.6×10 4pcs)

Install Vertical Stabilizer
As shown in the photo below:

1. Insert the rudder servo cable through plastic mount;
2. Use traction wire to pull the rudder servo cable to the battery compartment.
3. Install the rudder on the rear fuselage and secure with 4pcs screws (KA2.6×8).

A- Rudder servo cable
B- Plastic mount
C- Rudder

Install Main Wing

Install Scale Accessories

Note: After completing the above steps, insert each servo cable into its corresponding location on the labeled control board.

Pushrod instructions

Control Board lnstructions

Insert each servo cable into its corresponding slot on the control board. Test and verify correct function of all control surfaces. After finishing the cables connection, attach the control board in the location as shown above.

Battery Size

Center of Gravity
Correct Center of Gravity (”CG”) is critical for enabling safe aircraft control. Please refer to the following CG diagram to adjust your aircraft’s Center of Gravity.

• You can move the battery forward or backward to adjust the Center of Gravity.
• If you cannot obtain the recommended CG by moving the battery to a suitable location, you can also install a counterweight to achieve correct CG. However, with the recommended battery size, a counterweight is not required. We recommend flying without unnecessary counterweight.

Servo Direction

If you need to purchase another brand’s servo, please refer to the following list to choose a suitable servo.

Control Direction Test
After installed the plane, before flying, we need a fully charged battery and connect to the ESC,then use radio to test and check that every control surface work properly.

Dual Rates
According to our testing experience, use the following parameters to set Aileron/Elevator Rate. Program your preferred Exponential % in your radio transmitter. We recommend using High Rate for the first flight, and switching to Low Rate if you desire a lower sensitivity. On successive flights, adjust the Rates and Expo to suit your preference.
