Servo Choice:
We strongly advise that you use the recommended high-torque digital metalgeared
servos on all the main flight controls, and the milled plywood mounts are
specifically designed for these.
There are plenty of alternative servos available from many manufacturers.
However, it is important that you measure the “height” of the servo from the
mounting flanges to the control arm. This dimension is important to know BEFORE
you glue any mounting frames in the stab or wing.
Servo Screws:
Fix the all the servos into the milled plywood servo mounts using the 2.9 Ø
x13mm or 16mm sheet metal screws provided in the kit, not the standard screws
normally supplied with servos by the servo manufacturer. This is because all the
holes in our milled servo mounts are 2mm diameter, due to our CNC
manufacturing process, and this is too big for the normal screws.
Building Sequence:
The actual building sequence is your choice, but it is definitely most efficient to
follow the sequence of this manual.
Take Care:
Composite sandwich parts are extremely strong, but fragile at the same time.
Always keep in mind that these composite airplanes are designed for minimum
weight and maximum strength in flight. Please take care of it, especially during
transport, to make sure that none of the critical parts and linkages are damaged.
Always handle your airplane with great care, especially on the ground and during
transport, so you will have many hours of pleasure with it.
To protect the finished surface on the outside of the model from scratches and
dents during building, cover your work table with a piece of soft carpet, cloth or
bubble-plastic. The best way to stop small spots of glue getting stuck to the
outside painted surfaces is to give the whole model 2 good coats of clear car wax
first, but of course you must be sure to remove this 100% properly before adding
any additional paint, markings or trim.

Adhesives and Solvents:
Not all types of glues are suited to working with composite parts. Here is a
selection of what we normally use, and what we can truly recommend. Please don’t
use inferior quality glues - you will end up with an inferior quality plane, that is not
so strong or safe.
Composite models require good gluing techniques, due to the higher flying speeds,
and hence higher loads on many of the joints.
1. CA glue ‘Thin’ and ‘Thick’ types. We recommend ZAP, as this is very high
quality.
2. ZAP-O or Plasti-ZAP, or ZAP canopy glue 560 (for clear canopy)
3. 30 minute epoxy (stressed joints must be glued with at least 30 min & NOT 5
min epoxy).
4. Loctite Hysol 9462 or equivalent (optional, but highly recommended)
5. Epoxy laminating resin (12 - 24 hr cure) with hardener.
6. Milled glass fibre, for adding to slow epoxy for stronger joints.
7. Micro-balloons, for adding to slow epoxy for lightweight filling.
8. Thread-locking compound (Loctite 243, ZAP Z-42, or equivalent)
We take great care during production at the factory to ensure that all joints are
properly glued, but of course it is wise to check these yourself and re-glue any that
might just have been missed.

When sanding areas on the inside of the composite sandwich parts to prepare the
surface for gluing something onto it, do NOT sand through the layer of
lightweight glass cloth on the inside foam sandwich. It is only necessary to rough
up the surface, with 80/120 grit, and wipe off any dust with acetone or denatured
alcohol (or similar) before gluing to make a perfect joint. Of course, you
should always prepare both parts to be joined before gluing for the highest
quality joints. Don’t use Acetone for cleaning external, painted, surfaces as you
will damage the paint.
Tip: For cleaning small (uncured) glue spots or marks off the painted surfaces you
can use old-fashioned liquid cigarette-lighter fuel, like ‘Ronsonol’ or equivalent.
This does not damage the paint, as Acetone and many other solvents will, and
this is what we use at the factory.
At CARF-Models we try our best to offer you a high quality kit, with outstanding
value-for-money, and as complete as possible. However, if you feel that some
additional or different hardware should be included, please feel free to let us
know. Email us: [e-mail]. We know that even good things can
be made better !
Did you read the hints and warnings above and the instructions
carefully?
Did you understand everything in this manual completely? Then, and
only
then, let’s start assembling your CARF-Models Bae Hawk Mk 66 If not,
please read it
again before you continue.

Milled and Scale parts included in the kit

Fin - Rudder
The servoplate is integral to the fin
structure and the mounting holes are
pre drilled for you.
Before installing the servo arm, a 10 –
11 mm arm is the maximum size that
will fit in the area. This length of arm
will give you plenty of rudder thro.
Before installing the servo in the fin
attach
The plastic ball link supplied with the M
3 x 15 and the locknut.
Now you are ready for install the servo
in the fin with the 2.9 x 13 sheet metal
screws.

Fin - Rudder
Taking the 100 mm M3 threaded rod for
the ruder pushrod, screw on the small
M3 ball ink supplied to one end .For the
next step you might find it easier to
remove the rudder. This is done by
simply pulling out the piano wire hinge
from the bottom side of the ruder. This
will give you access to the end of the
pushrod through the rear of the fin and
into the ball link attached to the servo
arm. Take note from the pictures that
the ruder pushrod is operated on a
diagonal plane to give the best throws
without any binding.
Re-attach the ruder ensuring the piano
wire has not missed any of the hinge
points and affix the rudder ball link
with the M3 x15 round head screw
and locknut.
The fin assembly is secured to the
fuselage using the supplied aluminum
spar which you find is predrilled and
fitted with a M3 captive nut for
securing inside the rear of the
fuselage. For the securing use the
supplied M3 x 15
Notice :
You will find in the Ruder bag 2
different Ball links, the thinner one
will fit on the ruderhorn.

Fin - Rudder
The fin assembly is secured to the
fuselage using the supplied aluminum
spar which you find is predrilled and
fitted with a M3 captive nut for
securing inside the rear of the
fuselage. For the securing use the
supplied M3 x 15
Using a dremel tool or similar cut an
opening for the
servo extension lead to exit the top of
the fuselage
near the fin post.
The fin fits over the aluminium fin post
at the rear
and locates with the carbon peg at the
front, finally
securing with an M3 x 15 allen bolt at
the very front.

Elevator
Bonding the mounts onto the
CNC milled plate.
Reinforce the bonding area with the supplied
fiberglass band. Use epoxy resin only.
Follow the steps 22 –24. Once the resin is
completely cured cut the excess fiberglass
band.
Use the supplied 2.9 x 13mm
sheet metal screws to mount
the servos
not screws supplied by the
servo manufacturer!!!

Elevator
It is important that
the two servos do
not fight each other
as the servo current
draw is increased
massively in this
situation and will
lead to early servo
failure.
After you adjust the linkage,
cut the brass tube in the right
length. Remove the ball link
once more and slide the
brass tube over the Linkage.

Elevator
It is advisable at this point to fit the
“bacon slicers" to the tail. These are
not functional in any way
on the model but are a scale feature
and enhance the looks of the
aircraft. Assemble the parts
provided by gluing the 2 smaller side
pieces for
each unit to the top half.
For a good bonding sand the areas
which later are get glued to the stab
like shown in the picture.

Elevator
Temporarily fix the tail in place
on the aircraft
and then tack the top and
bottom half of the “bacon
slicers” to the central tail block
with cyano
ensuring that there is no binding
against the
fuselage. Install the top hatch
and again check there
is no binding in this area. When
you are happy with
the position fix in place
permanently with hysol or
similar.

Ventralfins
Install the ventral fins in the rear
of the model before final fit of
the turbine and thrust tube
assembly. The three tabs on each
fin should be scuffed with a
sheet of sandpaper before
inserting
on the pre cut slots in the
bottom of the fuselage note the
larger end of the fin is towards
the front
of the fuselage. From the inside
of the fuselage apply enough
thick cyano at each of the three
mounting tabs to ensure a secure
bond to the pads. After you can
use 30 min Epoxy for make that
Gluing area more strong if
required.

Turbine and Trust Tube
Start by locating the 4 3mm milled
plywood
pieces.
The two lower ones, which later
contact the duct surface, need to be
rounded as you see here. Trial fit until
they sit flat on the duct mount
surface.
Roughen the gluing area and glue the
wood parts with 30 min epoxy on the
carbon ducting. Make sure they sit flush
and are aligned to each other.

After the resin is cured the duct looks like
shown on the photo.
At this point the bypass can be
measured for trimming. See how to
mark and measure the area
to be cut. Trim outside of the cut lines
with a dremel or suitable rotary tool and
tidy with files as appropriate.
We then move on to fitting the turbine. It
is easiest to do this whilst the assembly is
outside the model
as the thrust pipe / bypass / turbine is
effectively a self contained unit. This
manual describes fitment
of the JetCat P180RX turbine however the
bypass and mounting rails will
accommodate a larger
case turbine such as the JetCat P200SX
without modification.
