From Wikipedia.
In 1964, the Royal Air Force specified a requirement (Air Staff Target, AST, 362) for a new fast jet trainer to replace the Folland Gnat. The SEPECAT Jaguar was originally intended for this role, but it was soon realised that it would be too complex an aircraft for fast jet training and only a small number of two-seat versions were purchased. Accordingly, in 1968, Hawker Siddeley Aviation (HSA) began studies for a simpler aircraft, initially as special project (SP) 117. The design team was led by Ralph Hooper.[1]
This project was funded by the company as a private venture, in anticipation of possible RAF interest. The design was conceived of as having tandem seating and a combat capability in addition to training, as it was felt the latter would improve export sales potential. By the end of the year HSA had submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Defence based on the design concept, and in early 1970 the RAF issued Air Staff Target (AST) 397 which formalised the requirement for new trainers of this type. The RAF selected the HS.1182 for their requirement on 1 October 1971 and the principal contract, for 175 aircraft, was signed in March 1972.[2][3]
The prototype aircraft XX154 first flew on 21 August 1974 from Dunsfold piloted by Duncan Simpson, Chief Test Pilot of HSA (Kingston), reaching 20,000 ft in a flight lasting 53 minutes.[4] All development aircraft were built on production jigs; the program remained on time and to budget throughout.[5] The Hawk T1 entered RAF service in late 1976.[6] The first export Hawk 50 flew on 17 May 1976. This variant had been specifically designed for the dual role of lightweight fighter and advanced trainer; it had a greater weapons capacity than the T.1.[6]
The RAF Red Arrows depart the 2014 Royal International Air Tattoo, England, in a colour scheme that commemorates their 50th year.
More variants of the Hawk followed, and common improvements to the base design typically included increased range, more powerful engines, redesigned wing and undercarriage, the addition of radar and forward-looking infrared, GPS navigation, and night-vision compatibility.[7] Later models were manufactured with a great variety in terms of avionics fittings and system compatibility to suit the individual customer nation; cockpit functionality was often rearranged and programmed to be common to an operator's main fighter fleet to increase the Hawk's training value.[8]
In 1981, a derivative of the Hawk was selected by the United States Navy as their new trainer aircraft. Designated the McDonnell Douglas T-45 Goshawk, the design was adapted to naval service and strengthened to withstand operating directly from the decks of carriers, in addition to typical land-based duties.[9] This T-45 entered service in 1994; initial aircraft had analogue cockpits, while later deliveries featured a digital glass cockpit. All airframes were planned to undergo avionics upgrades to a common standard.[10]

Your visualisation and knowledge skills for your builds is amazing, your explanation and quality of your builds are excellent, I’m now an avid follower of any of your builds, you must be extremely proud of what you hand to your customers, and conversely they must be very appreciative of your quality of build, very very well done. 👌👌👍

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you very much Anthony! I appreciate the kind words!

[@bertgarrisonrc]

The Hawk is such a good looking jet! The remote plugin for the Cortex is brilliant! I do the same as you for my monitor/monitors. For my gyro unit installs I mount them to a raft of sorts. Just a 1/8" piece of aircraft ply that has a footprint about 1/8" larger than the Gyro unit. The gyro is mounted to the ply raft with its tape then the raft is screwed to the tray with a screw in each corner. Now if you ever have to recalibrate the gyro simply unscrew the raft from the equipment tray and remove from the plane. No more scraping and tearing the mounting tape! I do the same for all my Jeti Assist RX's

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Bert. Yea I used to do that with my Gyro's, I would install them on a Carbon plate so they could be moved easily. Totally understand and it's a great way to do it.

[@rainierxuereb8023]

Excellent job.

Such a beautiful color scheme, Jon. 👍I‘m using mid size KST servos on my little Logo 480 (streched to 520 now) and those are absolutely no brainer, strong and fast👍 cheers from Munich , Sven 🍺

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Sven! Yea impressive little micro servo. Lots of push from such a little unit!

My pleasure! Thanks for reaching out and organizing this!

What only 122 inches....Great vid covered a lot in that sucker. Ain,t it nice to have room lots of room. Gonna be interesting to see where it balances and with what. I hope he,s got an extended van or trailer to carry that monster in. Excellent work as usual. Now hurry along with the next installment ;0). Keep at it now and Carry on.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Nick. Yea it's a long bird! I think it's the longest in the shop so far. It will be dwarfed come next year though!

[@herricmountain]

This airplane looks so big. Great video as usual. Forgot to take a note on the paint you used for the freakled appearance of your tray. Could you help please. Krylon stone spray if I recall? And any prep needed before hand? Thanks

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! It's Tremclad stone finish. basically the color you use for the base will be the primary color you see come through. So I will usually use a base of grey primer and then the stone finish.

[@herricmountain]

@@thelightersideofrc Great Thanks

[@edfhobbies556]

Love your build vids !! Do you find it harder, easier or neutral in repairing models that have been painted inside of the chassis

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! If you have to do a full on repair from a damaged fuse than it's much easier on an unpainted fuse. If you do paint the inside you have to sand all the paint off for a proper bond of the glass repair.

[@marcdowell6658]

Size wise, how does this compare to the Huracan ? Can we get a side by side shot of them together? Thank you for showing us the ins and outs of this hobby.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hello Marc. Wingspan is the same but the huracan is much like a Viper Jet. Short in the body. So the Hawk is a bit longer than the Huracan. like 1.5ft

[@marcdowell6658]

@@thelightersideofrc Thank you for the reply ! Stay well my friend.

[@hankdurrer5650]

Well what can I say, another great video from you and the workings of the cockpit and the tray layouts. Super job. I do have a question, do you have the battery connectors for deans or just XT? Going to look at your website and see.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hello Hank. Thank you very much. I don't have the connectors for deans. Just XT. I used to be a fan of deans but have pretty much moved away from using them and gone to MPX and Mostly XT. Great connector.

[@simonbaxter8001]

Fantastic model, great build videos. For the scale, and all the external detail, it's a real pity the cockpit detail is absolutely nothing like a Hawk T1/A !

[@thelightersideofrc]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yea. Just generic.

[@TomFly]

What is your building time like for this Jet? In the Videos it all looks fairly speedy. I bet it isn’t that quick in real life?😅

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hello Thomas. Jet took about 10 days to complete. It was full time hours though. It's been done for about 1 week now. I don't do this full time but I had some vacation days to take so I took 10 days off from my normal job and knocked it out. Currently finishing the Mig 17 and started on the Bull and another Ranger.

[@lessharratt8719]

Do you build helicopters ??? I would love to see a build. Awesome skills

[@thelightersideofrc]

I started the hobby with Heli's and lost interest in them when I heard, saw and smelt my first turbine. I have an electric heli in my fleet but that's it so far. I have had some viewers contact me to ask about building some scale heli's. Maybe that will happen in the future.

[@lessharratt8719]

@@thelightersideofrc Well then We just need a turbine heli by the sounds of it,.

It’s the final point before the fuel pump intake. It’s designed to suck fuel and not bubbles.

당신 체널은 좋다~~!! 그러나 rc를 오래한 내가 볼때는 설명이 너무 많고 말도 너무 많다 영어권 사람들은 괜찮겠지만 영어를 모르는 사람은 지겹고 재미없다 참고 바란다~~^^*

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for your input!

[@TomFly]

Jonathan, give us an idea what costs are associated with having such a jet professionally built! I have absolute no idea what it means.🫣

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hello Thomas. There are many factors, size and complexity of kit, scale desires, etc. Feel free to email me to discuss if you would like.
