Overview
Hawker Hurricane 1610mm (63.3") Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA1023-001
The Hawker Hurricane is a British single-seat fighter aircraft of the 1930s–40s that was designed and predominantly built by Hawker Aircraft Ltd. for service with the Royal Air Force (RAF). It was overshadowed in the public consciousness by the Supermarine Spitfire's role during Battle of Britain in 1940, but the Hurricane inflicted 60 percent of the losses sustained by the Luftwaffe in the engagement, and fought in all the major theatres of the Second World War.
The Nexa Hawker Hurricane is a .60-size electric scale series warbird with a 1610mm wingspan, constructed primarily from balsa wood and fully covered. This ARF requires assembly and installation of your choice of servos and power system, and includes a two piece wing design with aluminum wing joiner, fiberglass cowling, painted pilot, flaps, a large battery hatch and pre-hinged and installed control surfaces.

It’s design is definitely older so you will need some modeling skill to put her together but it’s no more difficult than any other balsa ARF I’ve built. Once together she is a bit heavy and did need some weight in the nose to CG according to the manual. I originally used the stock spinner and an apc prop but after deciding to switch to an aluminum spinner and three bladed master airscrew 16x10 I was able to remove over 100g of weight and have been very pleased with its takeoff and landing characteristics! Overall I love this Hurricane!

The nylon hinges for all control surfaces was a nice touch and was needed for a plane of this size. The product description says no lights but notches for landing lights are cut and drilled in the leading edges of the wings and notches are cut in the wingtips for navigation lights.(which do appear in the advertised pictures) However, there is no provision to string lights from the wingtips, and the wingtip rib at the end is solid with no hole in it like the other ribs. So, you must get a 24 inch drill bit (it was 21 inches from the open end to the rib) and go in from the open end of the wing to drill a hole in the last rib and then drill another hole for the LED and then run a stiff wire in a curve with string attached to pull wire through....which took quite a while. The landing lights take a 10mm white LED for a good fit. The flaps took 4 micro servos (I used Hitec hs-81) but required some sanding to fit right. Be sure to reinforce the wood blocks they attach to. One of the flap servo covers was backwards and I had to use a different control horn than they provided for that one. The next surprise was the motor mounts for the electric motor I used (a rimfire 1.20). The bolts were a little too short plus one of the bolts was missing its head so I had to make a trip to the hardware store. The tailwheel assembly had a stripped thread on the control horn arm but Motion provided a replacement in a very timely manner to fix that problem. I have kept using Motion because they do have very good customer service. Having the pilot installed with a control panel and the canopy already ******* on was a big help and time saver. The balancing of the plane was astonishing for me. It took 27 ounces of weight in the nose to get the balance right, a new record for me, and that was with a rim fire 1.20, a 5000ma 6s battery, and a 16x8 propeller. That brought the total weight to the plane to 13 lbs. I decided the provided electric retracts were too weak now, so I installed some eflite 90 degree 60 size retracts which fit pretty well with just a little sanding required. The decaling did not take long, as the plane was very well covered with realistic looking covering and detail and paint. The maiden flight needed a hard surface, this plane does not like grass much due to all the weight in the nose. But, it flew very well and level, needed very little trimming, and the nose did not drop when the power was cut like with other warbirds but rather the plane glided straight which was a surprise. I needed the flaps to help reduce the landing speed and distance to roll. I can get 6 minutes flight time with the described setup. This is a great looking model, I had three good takeoffs and landings, the lights add a very nice touch to the appearance.

However, there are some serious issues with the model. 1. This model is very difficult to balance. After mounting my .72 Saito engine correctly to the front, the CG point was about 3.5 inches behind where the manual stated it should be. All in all, I added an aluminum spinner and plate, as well as 30x (1/4oz) lead weights, 4x (15-17 imperial size) socket wrenches, and a bike lock to get the plane to CG correctly. Obviously this is a ridiculous amount of weight and demonstrates an error in the model design. 2. The 3-section wing design is VERY problematic. In total, I've flown this model twice. Both times the wing joiner spar between the center section and the outside wing snapped. On the first landing, the plane came in smoothly, but bounced on the runway, and the shock from the bounce snapped the wing. I ordered a new wing and upon the second landing, the wheel twisted inward, bent the gear strut, and again snapped the wing. These weren't bad landings, and I'm just shocked that the wing spar joiner couldn't hold up to the stress. 3. The landing gear is not rigid enough for this design. The landing gear struts on this model are too flexible for the weight of the aircraft. Perhaps they would be sufficient for concrete-only clubs, but any club with grass fields you can forget it. The struts just bend and twist in the grass, and honestly are just garbage all together. To conclude, you're welcome to try your luck, maybe I just got a bad model, its possible. And no doubt the weight I had to add to the nose hindered the rigidity of the landing gear struts. It's a beautiful plane, and defiantly worth hanging up for display, I'm just unsure that I would place too much faith in the wing joiner spars.
