About the Dakota Hawk
The As+ Dakota Hawk is a homebuilt high-wing monoplane designed for amateur construction, accommodating two occupants in a side-by-side seating arrangement with a conventional landing gear layout and a single piston engine. It suits recreational builders and private pilots.
The aircraft utilizes a wooden geodesic fuselage frame alongside an I-beam wing spar, with the wings, tail structure, and fuselage all wrapped in doped fabric. Standard features include folding wings for simplified trailering or storage, alongside options for wheel pants, hydraulic brakes, and a steerable tail wheel. Builders typically require hundreds of hours to complete the airframe from a kit.
