A great flyer by design....

vertical or right way up the sparrowhawk does it all with ease.
Laser cut parts and quality materials ensure a quick and accurate build
and the comprehensive plans and instructions mean no more
head scratching.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating as they say,
so check out the videos page to see just how well this model flies.
The Sparrowhawk combines traditional values of high quality materials and a strong
yet light construction with modern techniques such as Computer Aided Design and Laser Cutting,
this produces a model that is quick and easy to build with a great flight performance.
