E-flite BAe Hawk ARF Assembly Manual
2. Use hobby scissors to trim the air intake scoop
as shown. The intake on the right is uncut, while the
one on the left has been fully trimmed and is ready
to install. Leave about 1/16-inch (1.5mm) around
the intakes for a better gluing base.
Use a black felt-tip marker to detail the front opening
of the intake to add realism to your model.
3. Use canopy glue and low-tack tape to glue
and hold the air intake scoops in position until
the glue can fully cure.
Control Throws
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your
BAe Hawk. Check the movement of the rudder
using the transmitter. When the stick is moved right,
the rudder should also move right. Reverse the
direction of the servo at the transmitter if necessary.
2. Check the movement of the elevator with the
radio system. Moving the elevator stick down will
make the airplane elevator move up.
3. Check the movement of the ailerons with the
radio system. Moving the aileron stick right will
make the right aileron move up and the left aileron
move down.
4. Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator,
ailerons and rudder. Adjust the position of the
pushrod at the control horn to achieve the
following measurements when moving the sticks
to their endpoints.
