About

The Sky Hawk Glider is a small electric park-class glider with the kind of high-aspect-ratio wing and gentle handling that has been the entry point into RC soaring for generations of new pilots. Like every well-loved park glider, it earns its place in the hobby by being three things at once: slow enough to react to with confidence, durable enough to survive the inevitable mistimed landings of a learning pilot, and forgiving enough that thermal-hunting becomes a meditative exercise.

A long, narrow wing with high aspect ratio captures maximum lift from minimum airspeed. A small electric motor with folding prop provides just enough climb capability to gain altitude before the engine cuts and the real soaring begins. Generous dihedral and a flat-bottomed airfoil provide self-righting stability.

A peaceful starting point for new pilots. Use it to learn thermal-soaring technique. A natural sibling of the Ascent Park Glider (CV Planes Pack 1), Aquila (Free Starter Pack), and Sky Surfer in this same pack.
