Your knowledge of electric remote control systems should be your guide in determining whether you choose the Ready To Fly model or the Almost Ready To Fly Model.
If you are not familiar with the basic principals of electric flight,or do not have a couple of hours to spare assembling the Almost Ready to Fly (ARF), the Ready To Fly HawkEye is the model which is recommended. A benefit of the HawkEye Ready to Fly "RTF" Model is that it arrives with the electronic components pre-assembled. It includes everything you need to fly except your radio transmitter, receiver, batteries and your camera.
The fuselage is part of any HawkEye purchased. It has a camera mount bracket with tilt control that can be aimed forward, angled toward the side or sidewards, or straight down for a unique perspective on aerial photography shots. It is suitable for most point and shoot cameras.
The HawkEye RTF and ARF are available in four different graphics which vary in cost. All versions are the same in shape and size. Each is laser cut rip-stop nylon and is carefully constructed to exacting standards and details.
You may prefer to use your own components or purchase them separately. In this case you will want to purchase the Almost Ready to Fly (ARF) . It is identical in every respect to the RTF version except it will not have the electrical hardware components. It will however have everything else, including a camera mount, fuselage, and a fully framed sail. It will take approximately 2 hours to completely assemble and install the components to make ready to fly.
THE "READY TO FLY" CHOICES BELOW INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING IN THE PURCHASE PRICE:
Complete standard fuselage, completely framed sail and connectors, tilt capable universal camera mount, Dualsky 40 amp, or Thunderbird 36 amp electronic Speed Control with connectors, 3 x Hitec HS-82 metal gear servos for steering, camera tilt, and camera shutter operation and your choice of a high performance Dualsky 3536CA, 8 turn, 350 watt motor (recommended when carrying a payload of more than 8 ounces) or a Dualsky 3530CA, 12 turn, 250 watt motor(recommended when carrying a payload of 8 or less ounces) with propeller. The Plane comes assembled, "Ready to Fly" minus Radio Installation. Radios May be installed on request.

What the heck is a BEC?
Our Battery Eliminator Circuit is a little device that eliminates the need for a receiver and servo battery pack. It draws higher voltage from the motor batteries and drops it to a voltage level that is suitable for your receiver and servos.
This is required in applications which draw high power for multiple servos or use more than 3S motor packs, as most ESCs with linear BECs are not designed for these applications. Castle Creations BEC is better because it is smaller, cheaper, and far more powerful.
The BEC switching regulator is recommended if you wish to use the CG conversion kit.
Max amps: 36
Max volts: 15 volts

3 amp max
Length: 1.5" (38mm)
Width: 1" (25mm)
Height: 0.35" (9mm)
Weight: 0.7 (20g)
Brake: On/Off
For those of you that wish to carry heavier payloads,
fly in higher winds, or want in flight control of your Hawkeye's CG, you may want to consider this option. This system can be retrofitted to your existing Hawkeye or ordered as an upgrade option.
How it works:
The high torque servo and throw arm connects directly to the balance bar on the Hawkeye fuselage gondola. Depending on which channel you choose to connect the servo, it may be used like an elevator or used to tune the CG to the desired flight parameters while your Hawkeye is airborne.
It can be added or removed at will. Kit includes everything shown.

This charger will allow you take full advantage
of your G3 Hyperion batterys, reducing charge times
from 1 Hour to around 15 minutes It will also safely
discharge your Lipolys . In addition it has A123, Nicad,
Nimh, and Lead Acid Charge modes
It is strongly recommended that you purchase the BEC switching regulator shown below if using the CG kit. This is due to the fact that the linear BEC on most speed controls are only capable of safely operating 3 servos. The CG option adds a fourth high torque servo. Failure to add a BEC (or separate battery pack) for the servos may result in control failure.
