_____________________________________________________________________________________________ 7/6/2010 - New HKS Engines Are On the Way
CGS has ordered a new 80 HP fuel-injected, turbocharged HKS 700T engine. We're excited about using this engine on the Arrow II. We think it'll be an excellent match for the airframe any time extra power is needed - high altitudes, with floats, or anyone who just wants that extra oomph, along with great fuel economy.
We also have an HKS 700E
on the way. This 60 HP engine is great on our single or two seat planes
when the extra power of the 700T isn't necessary. Imagine not having to
mix oil with the gas, burning 2.5 gallons of fuel per hour at cruise,
and a 1000 hour TBO! We
expect to receive these engines at Airventure Oshkosh. Please contact
us if you're considering one of these engines on a Hawk. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 7/1/2010 - Video of the Factory Hawk on Floats _____________________________________________________________________________________________ 6/25/2010 - Visit
