Miles Sparrowhawk

Description: IMAA-legal Golden Age race

Designed by Dick Allen, this 26-percent-scale Miles Sparrowhawk uses conventional built-up balsa and plywood construction throughout. Foam is used to form the fiberglass engine cowl and the wing fillets, and they are formed directly on the model’s structure. The Sparrowhawk is very aerobatic and is legal for both IMAC and IMAA giant-scale events.
