From the December 2006 issue of Flying Models
by Larry Marshall

"And the kids go round and round... Dads, Granddads, and others wanting model airplane holiday gift ideas for their favorite little ones:   here's the solution.   Larry at Black Hawk Models has come to the rescue.   He's selling a series of tethered flyers that are wonderful and easy and fun for little ones, and those of us who are young at heart.   Inexpensive too!"

"My daughter and I have been having a lot of fun with his Blackhawk Pursuit (Hawk), that he sells for $8.   That sounds cheap enough but, as they say, "There's more..."   That $8 gets you two kits, not just one.   Each comes boxed separately and the outside of the box describes construction while the inside explains how to fly the model."

"These are fantastic for kids and Jodie, my daughter, had no trouble building one.   Time requirements are very short and if you time it right, bedtime can follow painting.   This allows you to sneak back into the shop and spray some clear coat over the acrylic paint and included sticker markings.   The next morning, she's ready to fly.   At least that's how it worked at our house."

"Flying is nothing but laughs and smiles.   Jodie couldn't stop, in spite of becoming dizzy, she kept wanting more.   I encourage you to head to Black Hawk Models (www.blackhawkmodels.com) and order some for your wee ones.   Oh...I warn you, though, not to look too closely at Larry's website.   Larry sells a whole line of these kits as well as a bunch of really nice control line kits and you just might be convinced that you "need" some of these yourself."
