Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of Century Helicopter Product’s latest version of our HAWK series RC helicopter model. The
Hawk Pro helicopter is not only ideal for beginners new to the hobby, but also for the intermediate and right on through to the
expert and 3D flyers. A 6 channel helicopter radio is recommended as the bare minimum to take advantage of the helicopter
programming included in these radios. The expert to 3D flyers would certainly be using a good 8 to 10 channel helicopter radio.
You may wish to check with us or your local dealer for compatible components.
