Hawker P1081 the 'straight through' Sea Hawk


Recommended Posts

The P1081 is virtually complete. A short full power test.

The only thing left to do is to position the battery to give the same CofG as I used on the P1052 that uses the identical wing and tail plane.

I will have to try it before the current 'blocking' high pressure zone moves away. ?

Rather grey this morning but really calm so the P1081 had its maiden.

I was rather concerned that on 3s it would be short of thrust but proved to be quite adequate.

It glides very well too, note the 'go round' when it looked like I might have to walk some distance.

I also have to admit the Lemon 'stab' rx installed, as it was for the maiden for the Sea Hawk and P1052, does an excellent job of making my flying look rather better than it might otherwise be. ?

If I can summon up the patience a Hunter at the same scale to complete the development 'set'?
