About the Hawk
The Dakota Cub Aircraft Hawk is a fixed-wing homebuilt aircraft featuring a two-seat configuration and a single engine. It is suited for pilots seeking cross-country flight capabilities, aided by dual controls, a steerable tail wheel, and optional wing tanks.
The aircraft traces its roots to designs by Erval Jackson and offers folding wings engineered with a locking mechanism for quick setup or storage. Construction relies on wood and fabric methods common to traditional light aircraft, providing an affordable option for amateur builders.
