Built this one for a review, then gave it to one of the kids at the field. Fate is unknown from that point.:wink:

Wanted to get something that would build up quick and fly low, so I picked the Bright Hawk. Saw that they also made a Nike Smoke nosecone in the same diameter and figured a little kitbashing would be in order - so I give you the Nike Hawk. Incidentally, this worked out well since the nose that came with the kit was too small anyhow.

 
Bought this one as I wanted something new and easy to throw together and fly the following weekend. The kit is typical Quest. Everything fit well but some of the parts felt weak and soft. I liked the stock look but didn't care for the bland colors the fins and nosecone were molded in. .

Also didn't care for the crappy paper decals as they were badly faded and brown so I made my own from vinyl. I added a couple of extra strips to make things more interesting.
