Two-seater

Arrow II Two-Seater Ultralight

The Hawk Arrow II is our two-seater offered as a factory build or in kit form, to be built as an Amateur-Built Experimental or ELSA aircraft in the U.S. or AULA in Canada and the rest of the World. The long streamlined cockpit area has a flat floor, and a low sloping windshield that gives unobstructed forward visibility. The large vertical tail balances the long nose, which yields excellent yaw stability. The Arrow II wing has a semi-symmetrical airfoil, and streamlined extruded aluminum wing struts. All Hawks incorporate a curved front spar carry-through, allowing for ample head room.

The rear seat is higher than the front seat, so the field of vision of the passenger or instructor in the rear seat is less obstructed. Flaps (not flaperons!) are standard equipment on all Hawks, and are very effective in increasing climb rate and decreasing landing distance. At the heart of the Hawk's unique design is its curved boom tube. The curved boom allows the horizontal stabilizer to be placed above the down-wash of the wing, especially when flaps are deployed. Another benefit of the curve is short landing gear legs, which makes it easier to get in and out of your plane. The curved boom is stronger in torsion than a straight boom, and allows the airplane to rotate for takeoffs and landings without banging the tail on the ground.

The Arrow II incorporates tandem seating rather than side by side. Advantages of tandem over side-by-side include:

Shoulder room is ample.
The front seat pilot sits in front of the wing, so there’s no wing blocking the view in turns.
Turns to the left or right are equally comfortable because you don't have to look across a seat.
The narrower fuselage allows better inflow to the pusher propeller, and much less drag.
Since the rear-seat passenger sits on the center of gravity, it makes little difference if you have a passenger or not - the center of gravity changes very little.
In a training situation, the student’s sight picture doesn’t change when the instructor gets out. Everything looks and feels the same as when the instructor was in the plane with him, except for higher performance. This keeps stress levels down when he’s finally flying solo.

Factory-built

Ready To Fly

The Hawk Arrow II SLSA is our factory-built model, based on our proven popular CGS Hawk Arrow II. Since 1992 the Arrow II has been used for two place training and recreational flying. Now, with the Light Sport Aircraft rules in the U.S., our SLSA is a legal, economical option for flight training or fun flying.

Our Hawk Arrow II ELSA is the same airplane as the SLSA, except certified as an experimental aircraft. What this means is, while the aircraft cannot currently be used for compensation or hire (flight training), it can be delivered in any state of completion, from a full kit to a ready-to-fly craft. You can perform all your own maintenance, and you can also take a 16 hour class, and be certificated as a Light Sport Repairman with an Inspection rating. With this rating you can perform the condition inspections (annuals) yourself. If you’d like a new Hawk for recreational flying, but aren’t interested in building a full kit, and aren’t interested in paying someone else to perform the maintenance and annuals on your plane, this may be the Hawk for you.

As a point of comparison, our standard Hawk Arrow II is sold as an Experimental Amateur-Built kit. You are required to build at least 51% of the kit for your own recreation or education. After the plane has received its airworthiness certificate, you can do all the maintenance on the plane, and as the builder, you can be issued a maintenance certificate by FAA, which allows you to do the annual condition inspections yourself.

The ELSA/SLSA includes all standard equipment listed in the Quick Build kit plus the following:

Rotax 912 UL engine
Duc propeller
Dynon SkyView Avionics Package
Dual color sail coverings (basic scheme)
