AMD BAe Hawk turbax conversion
All parts have now arrived and the winter project can begin. On Monday, the Scorpion kit (HK-4035-800kv) arrived from Taiwan and the GensAce batteries from Hobby Partz . The Turbax fan with k&b 45 came a couple of weeks ago from a western seller on RCC. On Tuesday, I picked up the Hawk from my CBI post box. That was some big box !!
The fan needs to be cleaned up a bit and i think the holes should be filled. New brackets are clearly in order.

Re: AMD BAe Hawk turbax conversion
Nice project- she's a beaut! I've bought batteries from Hobbypartz in the past but thought they currently can't/won't ship them to Canada?

Re: AMD BAe Hawk turbax conversion
Nice project.
Are you planning 12S? Which hawk are you putting it in?

Re: AMD BAe Hawk turbax conversion
Tom , I have bought a few times from Hobby Partz and have had no problem with shipping. I bought these on the 20% off Black Friday special which more than paid for shipping. I would like to purchase from RotorQuest but they didn't have the size I want.
Eric , this is the AMD BAe Hawk as sold by JHH. This is the fan and motor from the same model. There is a bit of a resurgence of the old nitro fans units refitted with the scorpion conversion. Yes, 12S. cheers john

Re: AMD BAe Hawk turbax conversion
Thanks for the info John. How were the batteries shipped?
Please keep posting as you build your Hawk. Tom
