FLYFLY BAE HAWK 90mm DUCTED FAN JET!

Here is the new breed of electric ducted fan jets, the RED ARROWS HAWK from FlyFly Hobby! This HAWK has excellent detail, mouldings are very high quality. Kit comes with all hardware, fixed Oleo struts with suspension, will take a variety of electronics. Designed to run 5 to 6 cell Lithium batteries, the performance is crisp with excellent climb and more than scale speed. The foam is dense and finely moulded, much stiffer and stronger than most foamys.

The stock 90mm fan is of good quality and runs well once it is properly balanced and set up, producing around 1.7kg thrust on 5 cells. Our EXP3300mah 5s1p 20c battery is the absolute minimum requirement, for much more power our ELITE 4000 5s1p 25c is recommended.

 

We will only be offering our Taiwan made 36mm motor for the stock fan as the available Chinese motors will not handle the high amp draw of the stock 7 blade units. Average amp draw is 52-55 on 5 cell packs, the cheaper Chinese motors pull 60 amps or more for less thrust.

The factory fan is less efficient and more amp hungry compared to a Wemotec fan, but it is a good budget setup.

 

FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE with less amp draw our WEMOTEC MIDIFAN ROTOR/ADPATER kit is a perfect fit to the stock housing. This gives you the less aggressive and far better designed Midifan which pulls fewer amps and allows popular 5 cell Midi setups such as our HET 600 series. For 6 cell setups the Midifan rotor matches perfectly with our Taiwan made HYK3660-1600 motor. Test results prove these to be an exceptional power system, the figures below tell the story:

 

MIDIFAN UPGRADE TEST RESULTS:

TYPHOON 600 series 5 cell: 18.5v / 59A / 1100W / 30,800rpm

 

The Typhoon setup is the best 5 cell setup we have available, producing almost identical output levels to the HYK only at higher amp draw. This is the choice setup for 5 cell.

 

HYK3660 1600Kv 6 cell: 22.3v / 50A / 1115W / 31,760rpm (results from inside the fuselage)

 

The HYK setup is the best 6 cell setup we have for a combination of amp draw vs power output, in the Hawk it is good for around 80-90mph! (dependant on battery used)

 

Forget about expensive turbine jets which require permits and engineering certificates to own, forget about noisy glow powered fans, this is the way of the future! High quality EPS foam aircraft with high powered 90mm fan units, the affordable large jet!

 

BAE HAWK SPECIFICATIONS

HAWK made from hi impact EPS foam, scale undercarriage, and 90mm fan included. Optional retract kit is spring air operated, air up, spring down. Retracts drop into the stock undercarriage position and finish off what is a superb large foamy!

 

NOTE: We have an upgrade kit available that replaces the very stiff plastic air valve with a precision machined alloy one and adds quick release valve and fittings for removing the wing. Details are on the Retracts Page

Nice cabin detail and modular fuselage, wing comes off for transport to make this one superb model! Add one or two of our large jet pilots for a super scale look!
