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.

140-160N TURBINE READY AIRFRAME
Weighing 40-44 lbs, the Hawk is perfectly paired with modern turbines from brands like Kingtech and JetCat in the 140-160N size range. The Kingtech K-142 and K-160 are what powered development and test airframes. Our preferred engine is the K-160 as it provides a great combination of power, performance, and flight time.
AUTHENTIC "BETSY ROSS" COVERING
The Hawk arrives wrapped in printed, self-adhesive PVC film replicating VT-7's "Betsy Ross" flag scheme. Durable and precision cut, it delivers crisp panel lines, scale rivet details and weathering straight out of the box
