Thank you so much for the Hawk 75s.
You know how I feel about my Curtiss Hawks... So, I have to ask, how does she fly? I know about it's "on paper" performance, but there is more to how any aircraft flies than it's ROC and VNE numbers. It should have a fairly high roll rate, but, pilots in the day that transitioned from the P 36 to the P 40 considered the P 36 to be superior except in top speed. It will be interesting to see how it works out. ![]() P 36s at the Cleveland National Air Races, 1939.
