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.
