Here are some pictures of our SAPAC T-45 Goshawk.
This is still a very early version 1 model of the plane which, during this time, still came without retract mounts or flaps.

Luckily the build up wing of the Hawk made an installation of retract straight forwards.
Our T-45 was equipped with the following:
- HET 6904 Fan Unit
- HET-RC Typhoon 2W-20
- HET-RC Tsunami 72A ESC
- Desire Power 3700 4S 30S Lipo Pack
- HET-RC Mini Air Retracts (3mm version)

For servos we used Hitec HS-82MG and HS-65MG types.

With this power combination the plane was not only able to take off from a concrete runway but also from a short cut grass runway.

The flight characteristics of this model a very good. A real joy to fly !!

Have a look at this video of our SAPAC T-45 in action:

Some info on the real plane:
The T-45 Goshawk is a highly modified version of the BAE Hawk land-based training jet aircraft. Manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) and British Aerospace (now BAE Systems), the T-45 is used by the United States Navy as an aircraft carrier-capable trainer.

The T-45 Goshawk is a fully carrier-capable version of the Hawk Mk.60. It was developed for the United States Navy (USN) for use in training.

The Goshawk’s origins began in the mid-1970s, when the US Navy began looking for replacement for its T-2 and TA-4 trainers. The US Navy started the VTXTS advanced trainer program in 1978. British Aerospace and McDonnell Douglas proposed a version of the Hawk and were awarded the T-45 contract in 1981.

The Hawk had not been designed for carrier operations. Numerous modifications were required for Navy carrier use, including improvements to the low-speed handling characteristics and a reduction in the approach speed. Other changes were strengthened airframe, more robust and wider landing gear with catapult attachment and an arresting hook. It features a two-wheel nose landing gear.

The Goshawk first flew in 1988 and became operational in 1991. BAE Systems manufactures the fuselage aft of the cockpit, the air inlets, the vertical stabilizer of the T-45 at Samlesbury, and the wings at Brough, England. Boeing manufactures the remainder of the aircraft and assembles them in St. Louis, Missouri.

On 16 March 2007 the 200th airframe was delivered to the US Navy. Their requirements call for 223 aircraft, and the T-45 service is slated to continue until at least 2035.
