Structural Parts

| The wing is a master piece in itself. The structural wood is really complex, basically due to the fact that the CARF Hawk has the landing gear really mounted in the correct angles, so that the scale size wheel would fit at exactly the right position into the wing, when retracted. When extended, it also needs to be in the scale position. |

A pair of very effective flaps are skin hinged on the bottom side and ready to go – even the control horns are glued in. The ailerons are also skin hinged on the top surface. Control horns are glued in, servo mounts, too. |
| The fin is removable for transport and storage. The rudder servo is installed in the fin, and the rudder is pin hinged, ready to go with control horn. |

The flying stab is one piece with a rectangular spar tube all the way through. It is bolted on to a carbon fiber mount, moving on a pair of ball bearings on a 10mm carbon rod. The control horns are glued in, 1-2 servos (depending on type and personal preference) sit right in front of the stab with shortest possible linkages. A hatch makes stab removal and servo access very easy. |
| The fuselage is a non sandwich part, to make it rigid for the everyday use and abuse… a nice and strong skin holds a pair of engine mount formers, a front former and a stab former. Also the whole nose gear mount is glued in and ready for the landing gear to drop in. Air intakes are separate parts, to be glued on later. The scale shape of intake lip and the spacer between fuselage and air intake absolutely elevate the CARF Hawk above many others. |
