The Hawk "Plus" is basically a revised version of the 1983 Two Place Hawk, with two place cargo area combined into a single seat.  While the Classic and Arrow single seat models have a large baggage area behind the seat, it can be difficult to place large bulky items back there.  The "Plus" was designed to accommodate the requests of customers needing a larger cargo capacity.  The Hawk "Plus" has larger passenger doors coupled with a two place fuselage.  This combination allows for easy access to the baggage area while keeping the space large enough for a jump seat to be installed.  We have put 4 large filled duffle bags on board and still had room for the small stuff.  Wing tanks are standard on the "Plus" leaving the rear compartment available for optimal use of the space.  It can be used for storage or additional fuel tanks.  With the larger engine options offered, up to 250 lbs. can be carried in the rear baggage area.

Another feature of the Hawk "Plus" are the wing spars, which are stronger than those found on standard single seat models.  They are 2 1/4" dia. X .083 (instead of .049) wall thickness to provide the same load factors as the single place models.  The Hawk "Plus" is based on the Hawk Arrow design.  It has the same forward fuselage pod as the Two Place Arrow, which is 2" wider than the single place models. The Hawk "Plus" also has the semi symmetrical wing, streamline struts, reinforced boom, wing tanks, fibreglass nose cone, folding tail, curved overhead and windshield as standard equipment.
