NOTICE: All the SuperHawk slots are now filled... sorry!

Hello all,

Just FYI the SuperHawk wait list opened up yesterday... I have filled 4 of the 10 available spots already. Of possible interest to you RES thermal duration folks out there is a spoiler optional wing that will be available.

Here is the link to the SuperHawk main directory:

http://www.hobiehawk.com/SuprHwkMain.html

In a nutshell: How about a supersized Hobie Hawk, longer fuse, 10 foot wings with carbon fiber inserted the full length of the trailing edge and choice of thermal or slope airfoil! Additionally if you order the spoiler optional wings you can install some nice spoilers like I did... cool beans man!

Just some highlites... the SuperHawk FLOATS well, handles very well and goes sraight up the tow line hands off! (at least mine does!)

This is a very limited run, they are all hand made by my friend Tony at Synergy Composites.

Here is a photo Tony took of me coming in for a spot landing using my awesome spoilers... how nice it is to have some GLIDE PATH CONTROL!

Cheers,

Brian (AKA: CJS)

Down to only 5 slots open!

Here is Tony with his SuperHawk... I sure like my orange one, but I think I like his trans-yellow BETTER! Pretty sweet looking!

Still a great looking glider!
That was my first glider back in the 70's.
Does it still do the ''Hobie roll''?

If you are talking about diving down and cranking the rudder w/ elevator... YES... it's pretty cool.

The SuperHawk has minimal "waggle" compared to the original and is SO much more stable, especially off the winch or high-start!
