Hawk CCPM - GREAT STUFF!!! Like you know, I own a Hawk Pro, and if you read my thread about Century service in SA, would understand the rest of this mesage...
In a nutshell, I'm having difficulty in getting upgrade parts 4 the Pro to South Africa, and saw the CCPM conversion for sale. After no joy in ordering, I made the whole conversion set myself. No really, not that difficult, cost me less than $5.00!!! Tell you what, it's worth the $60 odd Century charges it at, it flies like a DIFERENT HELI ALLTOGETHER! Cyclic response much better and Collective so much more precise- no more play through all those linkages and arms! Much less strain on pitch servo - oh yeah, there's now three helping with the pitch... Losing a few grams is a bonus!
So, if you must choose one upgrade, trust me, go for the CCPM. Easy to install and watch-out, feels like a different machine, might wanna reduce the EPA's on the servo's initially.
Cheers
