The Hawk Classic makes an ideal trainer. It features tandem seating, with excellent
visibility from the front seat. Flaps allow the craft to land at speeds below 35 m.p.h.,
and take off in less than 250 feet. When equipped with the 503 Rotax engine cruise is an
honest 65 m.p.h. with a climb rate of around 600 feet per minute. When using the optional
582 Rotax engine climb increases to over 1,000 per minute and cruise about 75.
