Hawk/T-45 140-160N Turbine Jet ARF Overview
Since entering service in the late 1970s, the Hawk-and its U.S. Navy variant, the T-45 Goshawk-has trained generations of military pilots worldwide. Hangar 9’s Hawk 140–160N Turbine Jet ARF model faithfully captures that legacy in a robust, pre-built package designed for today’s turbine sport and scale flyers. Crafted from lightweight balsa and plywood reinforced with carbon fiber, this ARF airframe arrives ready for your choice of 140–160N turbine engines (sold separately). A complete hardware kit, dual-wall stainless steel pipe and 5.5L fuel tank ensure you spend less time shopping for parts, and more time mastering precision passes, rolls and loops. Finished in the striking VT-7 “Betsy Ross” trim scheme, the Hangar 9 Hawk delivers an eye–catching presence both on the ground and in the air.
Hangar 9’s Hawk 140–160N sets a new standard for scale turbine ARF models. Based on the proven Systems Hawk airframe and adopted by the U.S. Navy as the T-45 Goshawk, this model blends authentic lines with modern materials to deliver a stable yet highly responsive flying experience. At the heart of the design is a factory-assembled airframe of carbon fiber–reinforced balsa and plywood. All control linkages are included, along with a comprehensive hardware pack including a composite 5.5 L fuel tank with aluminum magnetic fill and vent fittings, dual-wall stainless steel tail pipe, and assembly hardware.
Large top hatches grant rapid access to the turbine, fuel system, and electronics. Scale enthusiasts will appreciate the printed VT-7 “Betsy Ross” factory-applied trim scheme with panel line, hatch, and rivet details. Inside, a detailed cockpit houses pilot figures, molded seats and a 3D instrument panel under a clear canopy.
The electric retract set (HAN13785) is equipped with precision aluminum trailing-link struts and electric brakes, which allow the Hawk to take off and land from paved surfaces, and most grass runways. The retract set includes a retract controller with adjustable brake strength, and a test function that allows retract operation without the transmitter. A complete set of gear doors with mounting hardware and linkages is also included.
To ease storage and protection, the two-piece wing, horizontal stabilizers, vertical stabilizer, and ventral fins can be removed with ease and stow safely in optional carrying bags (HAN1375018 and HAN1375019)The aircraft is light-ready, and suits various lighting options, including two Hawk-specific versions from uniLIGHT.
From its storied heritage to its turnkey hardware, the Hawk/T-45 140–160N Turbine Jet ARF invites turbine pilots to command the skies with scale realism and incredible field presence.
