Just stumbled into this area and now I'm seriously jonesing for a ParkHawk. Got a few questions about the parkhawk.
Do the wings easily come apart for transport? How compact can it be packaged b/w flights? Any suggested upgrades? Should I use BB servos to prevent stripped gears? Any other important points?
Thanks

You've come to the right place to get these question answered! There are several guys who can help on these questions.
The first thing I wanted to know was about its break down capability too. All it takes is the removal of six bolts and the wing/sail is free. Mine came in a box that is 17 X 10.5 X 3 inches and it will easily fit right back into the same box.
My only upgrade was to add the Azarr antenna. But if you get a new ParkHawk, there is now a spool on the frame designed to let you wrap your antenna! One can only imagine the upgrades that will follow!

WindSurfer,
The Park Hawk can be broken down quickly and easily. As Jerry had mentioned 6 screws is more than it takes. Two of those screws have been replaced by "O" ring retainers that are even easier.
As far as BB servos, no. You will want to consider metal gears however for the rudder servo only.
Let me know if you are interested in one. Just check my tag line at the top of the forum before you do...
