I wanted to do a little fixed wing FPV proximity flying and the HiTec Hawkeye's are some of the toughest airframes I've used.
I wanted to keep the prop small, and in the least likely spot to get damaged so I went with a center overhead pusher configuration. I (hopefully) pointed the motor downwards enough that the angle of thrust is just a bit forward of the CG.
The hawkeye's can fly quite well on 3 channel if you give them enough rudder area but I prefer 4, especially for FPV flying...
