VQ Hawker Hurricane electric RC Retracts and Flaps set up

Working out the operation of the Flaps and Retracts of the 60-size VQ Models Hawker Hurricane ARF. A really beautiful ARF kit. Very complete fittings set and very cool interlinked split flaps just like the 1:1 Hurricane. This one is a replica of the Shuttleworth Collection Hawker Sea Hurricane.

what happened to the back tire for landing?

[CarreraGTSCS]

@triplejayvideos The Hawker Hurricane has a fixed tailwheel. It does not retract.

...i think that 20degrees down on flaps are enough..

At least on my BlackHorse P-36A Hawk,

they make landings smooooooth!

@dreamwisperer Haven't finished assembling her yet so she's unflown. When I do fly her we will see how well the flaps work. I use about 20 degrees of down flap for take off with my similar sized FMS P-47. Works well. Thanks.

@vanepico -- The servo is covered by the belly mounted oil cooler. Can't see the servo when it's mounted. Pretty clever actually.

[CarreraGTSCS]

They are called "split flaps" and are a scale feature. The full size Hurrucane had them.

[vanepico]

Why do they make the flap servo stick out the bottom?
