Why Buy a Hawk
Designed from the wheels up
There are so many reasons, we'd like to list a few.
-
Engineering
The CGS Hawk, unlike most ultralight designs, was not a converted hang glider. Its concept integrated engineering criteria for the construction of conventional airplanes, giving it a robust feel and familiar flight experience.
-
Testing
The first two Hawk prototypes had over 200 hours each before we sold the first Hawk to a customer.
-
Pilot protection
A one-inch-diameter tubing roll cage surrounds the pilot. The airframe takes the initial shock, not the pilot.
-
NASAD
The National Association of Sport Aircraft Designers issued its kit approval to the CGS Hawk.
Since 1982
Innovators in ultralight aircraft design.
Made in Cincinnati, Ohio
American aviation expertise and craftsmanship.
