T-Hawk

[dave23]

I have read several forums on what a newcomer should buy but never heard anyone mention the Toytronics T-Hawk. This plane appears to be good and it is 3 channel, has a spare wing, a spare prop, and an extra battery pack. For the plane, radio and the above mentioned extras it seems to be a good buy and easy plane to learn on. I have no affiliation with Toytronics just doing a lot of browsing.

Never heard anyone talking about it, cause if you look at the specs. it's not your hobbist airplane. Our planes are not just toys, but they are our investments.

***has a spare wing, a spare prop, and an extra battery pack. *** I don't know?

***For the plane, radio and the above mentioned extras it seems to be a good buy and easy plane to learn on.***

hehehehe:) There are better one's, walmart got goods one's that flys, but then again, ask yourself. "Do I really wanna learn how to fly? Or crash and burn cash" Airplanes, that comes in a package, that I have personally flewn and love flying it, until I got bored, but taught me the science behind flying, and responsible for getting this far in the hobby, is the FIREBIRD XL.

Not that's a good airplane and combo, that can't be beat:)

I don't see any difference between the Firebird XL and the T-Hawk specs other than you control the T-Hawk with rudder and elevators.

dave: the firebird xl and the t-hawk are basically the same plane although the t-hawk being a 3 channel having rudder elavator and an on-off switch for the throttle. to tell you quite frankly, you can'tgo wrong with the two. you wouldn't be burning cash with the t-hawk because like the firebird its surely gonna fly. (btw is a lot tougher and cheaper than the friebird too)

as with the spare wings and prop... well these are the items i use on my firebird xl. the t-hawk wing cuts through the wind better and is definitely tougher than the xl wing... (cheaper too!!! about $5 from where i come from compared to that of the $15 main wing of the firebird) i use the t-hawk prop too. eventually when my fuselage gets worn out... i'd also be replacing it with the t-hawks. yes its been done here in manila and it flies exactly like the stock xl does.

right now i have 2 firebird xl's. one is setup stock and the other setup with the t-hawk main wing and prop. i'm no plane guru (just stared a month ago) but for some reason the firebird with t-hawk setup flies hellof a lot better than the stock xl.

i can post some pics if you're interested.

the only thing that turns me off with the T-hawk RTF is that the elevator controls are on the left rather than being on the right along with the rudder control. i figure that once you jump up to a more advanced radio... its gonna be a whole new ballgame again.

Thank you very much for that information; most helpful. I figure that the T-Hawk is not as popular because at least here in the USA it is only sold through Toytonix web site whereas the Firebird is sold in stores.
Thanks again.
Dave :D
