Introducing the new JetCat P20-SE, the baby turbine from JetCat. The JetCat P20-SE is the long awaited solution for small EDF Jet conversions. With 2.4kg thrust, this turbine can power any 90size EDF Jet (examples: JTM Hawk, JTM L-39, TamJets 1/12th scale F-16…..). The engine follows throttle commands almost without delay. The P20-SE comes with the new V10 ECU. Not only does it feature an incredible small size & weight, the new bus system makes installing your components a breeze. With one cable running from ECU to turbine (instead of 2 with the older versions) and one cable running from ECU to pump and on to the 2 solenoid block.
The star of April 2011 is a Simons Jet Legend Bae Hawk. Simon stripped this Hawk of the usual JL factory paint job and repainted the model in the 2010 UK Hawk Demo Colors. A true work of art with countless hour spend in the workshop masking and painting.
The Hawk is powered by a JetCat Turbine. The picture was shot in February 2011 in Nusa Jaya Malaysia. Make sure to check out the video of Simons Hawk on our YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/RCWarbirds1

This Jet Teng Bae Hawk in the colors of the 2010 Demo Team was converted from the original EDF propulsion setup to a turbine powered RC Jet by Heng.
The Model is powered by a Wren 44 Turbine Engine and carries 1 liter of kerosene. With this setup flight times of 6 minutes can be easily realized.
The model has a dry weight (hopper tank filled) of 4kg and hence a similar landing weight then the EDF powered version on 8S 4500mAh cells.
Another alternative for a turbine conversion would be the new Jet Cat P-20 turbine with 24N of thrust. Although less power then the Wren 44 shown here, the model would be considerably lighter during landing (assumption would be 3.9kg take-off weight -- 600ml tank -- and 3.3kg landing weight).
Enjoy the video of the Wren 44 powered JTM Hawk in action:
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.
As 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.
This JTM (Jet Teng) full composite T-45 was build by Rolf. Aside from additional scale features Rolf also added full navigation lights and afterburner simulation to his model.
The full composite plane is powered by a 90mm EDF Fan unit, 8S Lipo Battery and features a retractable undercarriage.
The model is further equipped with flaps to slow it down for landings.
The second episode of FlyBoyTha1’s JTM BAE Hawk Building video series.
All servos are installed, retracts are ready.
Next Step: Fan installation, for which he takes a trip down to TamJets to get some new “goodies”.
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.

This Fox Composite Hawk was build by us for one of our customers. The model features a 110mm Stumax Fan, JetiSpin 200 ESC, Air Retracts with Oleo Struts and brakes and will be powered by a 12S Lipo pack. Decals are from Tailormade Decals and are protected by a 2k clear coat.
Initially designed for turbines this model is now flown successfully with EDF Power in various countries.
The Model has a wingspan of 1346mm (53’’) and a length of 1575mm (62’’).
Some info on the full size plane: The BAE Systems Hawk is a British single engine, advanced jet trainer aircraft. It first flew in 1974 as the Hawker Siddeley Hawk. The Hawk is used by the Royal Air Force, and other air forces, as either a trainer or a low-cost combat aircraft. The Hawk is still in production with over 900 Hawks sold to 18 customers around the world.
