Park Hawk (http://rcgroups.com/links/index.php?sid=288753221&t=article&having=32224&cat=198&id=4013)

By Jerry Rose

The bird is impressive, both as a complex piece of machinery and as a thing of beauty. It demonstrates a degree of "clockwork precision" that would make a Swiss watchmaker proud. Additionally, the flight of the Park Hawk is true to life, and looks like a predatory bird out on a hunting trip. new

Awesome write up.
I was wondering where you got the Orange nose?
That is a great color combination of White Fuselage, Tail and black wings. I am not sure what kind of bird that is but it looks great!

As the King said here in Memphis, "Thank you very much!"

I just posted a new thread to explain the Beak.

Well i got it to fly for the first time. Very much fun. got way up and cut the flap back and it went longer than 10 minutes . i got a good glide out of it . It turns better in one direction than the other but ill get that fixed. Pitch is good too. But its diffenitly a no wind machine.The dura lub is very good choice of gear lub. the lith didnt do much for me. It will thermal pretty good also. We hope to slope them this spring, and probably will too. Later!
