Hangar 9 Hawk/T-45 140-160N Turbine RC Jet ARF Overview
Hangar 9’s Hawk 140–160N sets a new standard for scale turbine ARF models. Based on the proven BAE Systems Hawk airframe and adopted by the U.S. Navy as the T-45 Goshawk, this model blends authentic lines with modern materials to deliver a stable yet highly responsive flying experience. At the heart of the design is a factory-assembled airframe of carbon fibre–reinforced balsa and plywood. All control linkages are included, along with a comprehensive hardware pack including a composite 5.5 L fuel tank with aluminium magnetic fill and vent fittings, dual-wall stainless steel tail pipe, and assembly hardware.
Large top hatches grant rapid access to the turbine, fuel system, and electronics. Scale enthusiasts will appreciate the printed VT-7 Betsy Ross factory-applied trim scheme with panel line, hatch, and rivet details. Inside, a detailed cockpit houses pilot figures, molded seats and a 3D instrument panel under a clear canopy.
The electric retract set (HAN13785) is equipped with precision aluminium trailing-link struts and electric brakes, which allow the Hawk to take off and land from paved surfaces, and most grass runways. The retract set includes a retract controller with adjustable brake strength, and a test function that allows retract operation without the transmitter. A complete set of gear doors with mounting hardware and linkages is also included.
To ease storage and protection, the two-piece wing, horizontal stabilizers, vertical stabilizer, and ventral fins can be removed with ease and stow safely in optional carrying bags (HAN1375018 and HAN1375019)The aircraft is light-ready, and suits various lighting options, including two Hawk-specific versions from uniLIGHT.
From its storied heritage to its turnkey hardware, the Hawk/T-45 140–160N Turbine Jet ARF invites turbine pilots to command the skies with scale realism and incredible field presence.
