About this Plan

BAE Hawk. Radio control catapult glider model, for 2 channel radio.

Note the Hawk and Lightning (oz12469) both appeared in the same article "Catapult Jets" in RM July 1985.

Quote: "BAE Hawk: The Hawk, properly finished (the prototype was built and decorated by Ian Peacock) makes an attractive, but small, model. Those of you with photocopying facilities could enlarge this design if you wished, either for catapult launching or slope soaring. For construction to the size shown on the drawing it is recommended that miniature radio equipment is fitted. Standard size servos will fit but it is important to keep the overall weight to reasonable limits -this fact should also be remembered when finishing the model, an attractive paint job does not have to be a heavy one.

Construction of the Hawk follows the methods used on the HS Gnat (oz12463) which featured in the June issue of RM, together with illustrations of the Hawk construction. Select your wood carefully, light but tough, and plan the R/C installation before you commence building.

Have fun with your Cat-Jets, they are inexpensive to build and free to fly, so why not get a group together to have an hour or two's excitement. Let us know how you get on and any developments you have made."

    ScaleType: This (oz12470) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.

    If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.

    Notes:
    ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAE_Systems_Hawk
    Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
    For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
    Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

User comments

I recall a launching 'pistol' in the magazine that engaged the wire hook at the rear fuselage of this and the Lightning.

Notes

* Credit field

The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.

Scaling

This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
