That pilot can fly. It’s so nice to see a pilot have a smooth takeoff on a maiden instead of yanking it off the ground early.

KOKO Kool is phenomenal! Always a pleasure to watch him on the sticks!

One of the reason I like to watch the Lighter Side of RC is that it is the perfect example of the old mantra “do what you love in life and you will be happy”.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you very much!!

[@wargor]

Love the head turning when taxing back to the pits. Nice flight!! Lands really fast.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 👍. Can be slowed down some more. Started with a lower full flap setting and dialing in more.

[@anthonywatkins2783]

That looked beautiful on the ground and in the sky, stunning plane, would love commentary from the pilot on adjustments/ trimming during first flight, very well done all concerned 👌👍

[@dholmastersherlock]

what was the flap setting for landing to avoid the elevator blank out??

[@thelightersideofrc]

Not very much. 25 degrees ish.

[@BluegrassStateRC]

Any plans for attending JetsOverKY this year? Fingers crossed I'll have my waiver and can enjoy flying at the event this year.

[@thelightersideofrc]

No JOKY for me this year. I should be attending the CA Jets event I belive.

[@calumlonzie6900]

No smoke 😂

[@thelightersideofrc]

@@thelightersideofrc red arrow is a thing every has to go see or watch them 🇬🇧

[@dholmastersherlock]

i have the same plane wanted to know if the flaps are blanking the elevators>>. please post the flap settings for take off and landing.

[@thelightersideofrc]

If you use too much flaps than yes they will.

[@dont6441]

Tailwind landings? Too much residual thrust? Thanks for sharing. Always liked the Hawk.

[@thelightersideofrc]

🙌

[@DaveZotzman]

Wow, does it fly as easy as it looked or did he just make it look easy.

[@thelightersideofrc]

He is a great pilot but the hawks are big babies to fly!

[@iegorukhanov4119]

What is the maximum speed of this model? How do you think: is it possible to make a model with JET that will make 2000km/h?

[@michaelpivola3rd195]

🎉duh

[@michaelpivola3rd195]

Mr Sikorsky figured it out

[@thelightersideofrc]

Such a big draggy bird isn't fast. max probably 180-200 Mph

[@michaelpivola3rd195]

Sweet build!!!

[@briansutphin4180]

slow that thing down for landing son..... way hot....

[@thelightersideofrc]

Maiden flight! He is getting used to it!
