Eflite Hawk Flap Modification

Changsun nose strut with "shock absorbing" spring.


This Hawk flies so nice but needs lots of attention when landing. The relative high speed on landing also makes her bouncing. How nice to add flap to slow her down and avoid stall. Simply adding reflex does not make a good solution for perfect landing.


The flap modification is pretty straight forward by cutting along the aileron to the wing root. A servo can be easily attached to the fuselage and a link control.
