About the Hawk Classic

The Cgs Enterprises Dba Cgs Av HAWK CLASSIC is a homebuilt amateur-built fixed-wing ultralight aircraft featuring a single-engine pusher configuration and a single-seat tandem layout. It is available with either tricycle gear or a taildragger landing gear arrangement, making it an ideal trainer for recreational pilots.

Background details indicate that the design was introduced following a market study to meet the demand for an enclosed ultralight with full three-axis control. Its distinctive features include a curved boom tube that positions the tail above the wing wake, strut-braced wings with standard flaps, and aluminum tube construction covered in Dacron sailcloth.
