Damned useless info I know,. . . but there's a load of flexwings, and a three axis, 2 seater Hawk available here at our Airfield for ridiculously silly cheap money. . . .problem is the logistical distance mate. . . . . The 'Hawk' is a two seat, tandem design. Rotax 503 engine rear mounted, so the aircraft has a low, tubular fuselage, and obviously the eingie is mounted in a 'pusher' config.

 

It is tandem seat config, wth minimal instrumentation in the rear cockpit, ie, Airspeed indicator only. . .the only real problem wth this pane is that the LAA refused to allow an additional fuel tank to be added below the rear mounted engine,. . . as is normal with ALL flexwing trikes,. . . .saying that this was a 'Fire risk'. . . .? ? ? ? ?

 

So the aircraft was certified to carry it's internal 25 Litre fuel tank.. . . What a load of Bollox. ?. . . most owners carried an adituonal tank and 'Pumped; this into the main tank to achieve reasonable range. . .

 

I carried out a lot of the test and distance flying on this machine, and found that, with Two on board, it could achieve an average cruise of 73 MPH, with a fuel burn of close to 15 litres per hour, at 5,560 RPM average. . . . .this was very good I thought, for a 503 Rotax engine. . .

 

The prototype rots away in a hangar. . . . .

If you type "xxx" into google you should be able to find more birds than you can handle. Some of them may not be cheap or even go "cheep".
