eHawk 1500 – Build 01
"1. Remove aileron then center all CA hinges in place. Apply tiny epoxy in the torque rod hole then install the aileron. Secure all hinges with thin CA glue. After cures, make sure aileron moves freely."
- The aileron sticks a bit on the torque rod. Patient jiggling will eventually see it loose.
- Sometimes pushing the aileron onto the hinge will force it back into the wing. To make sure the hinge stays centred, use a pin. When the aileron is on, pull the pin out and glue.
- Don't go overboard with the epoxy otherwise it will be squeezed out and bind the aileron.

Thunder Tiger eHawk 1500 – What’s in the box?
So what do you get for your $150?
- Two nicely covered wings. I didn't particularly want blue but it was all they had in stock and who wants to wait when you can have it now.
- One OBL 29/09-07A Outrunner Brushless Motor
- A 10 x 6 Folding prop set.
- Ply pack including servo tray, wing mounts etc.
- Nuts 'n bolts and bit's 'n pieces bag.
- Carbon Tube for the fuse.
- A canopy.
- 4 x metal pushrods.
- Two carbon tube wing joiners.
- The main body of the fuse. Light fibreglass?
- Instruction manual. Looks easy enough to follow.
- A "Safety Caution" manual. Full of useful tips - not.
- Motor manual including mount template.

It didn't seem like much taking unpacking it from the box but then it is supposed to be a light glider.
