Beginner Flight Model Goshawk Wooden Kit

Two models from one box. The two-axis glider for sailing and electric flying.

Our completely new CAD-designed and CNC-laser-manufactured HABICHT is the ideal entry-level model for flight model building. Even the experienced model builder will have his pleasure with it. The construction of the model is deliberately kept very simple and is therefore easy to manage even for the inexperienced model builder. All parts are laser cut with high precision. The building instructions with numerous pictures guides well through the construction.

The model is controlled by elevator and rudder, in the electric version also with motor control. The wing profile was developed from the profiles of modern high performance models and gives the HABICHT a high glide performance with low sink rate. The model also penetrates well against stronger winds. The V-shape of the wing was reduced to give the model excellent maneuverability – yet high inherent stability.

The fuselage is constructed from a few plywood and balsa parts. It is therefore very robust and forgives many a hard landing. The canopy is removed by a magnetic catch, allowing easy access to the flight battery (electric version) and internals. The wing is secured with rubber bands. It is a lightweight ribbed construction that is planked on the surface in the nose area. The tail surfaces are built up from laser-cut individual parts.

To complete the model, all that is needed is glue and a few tools (knife, pins, sandpaper, flat nose pliers and scissors) and the iron-on film for covering.

For the RC equipment of the glider, a receiver battery with approx. 1,000 mAh and switch, the receiver with 2-4 channels and two servos with 15.5 mm width are required. For motorization of the electric version, light motors with 26 or 28 mm diameter, a suitable BEC controller and a 3s-LiPo with approx. 1,300 mAh are intended – a very inexpensive drive combination.

Thanks to the split wing, the model can be easily transported in a backpack, on a bicycle and in small cars. The glider can be launched on the slope but also with the rubber rope on the flat. The electric version is also in no way inferior to the glider in terms of gliding characteristics.
