About the RedHawk conversion: The Cessna Skyhawk is the most stable, rugged, and reliable training platform built to date. So we don't need to reinvent the wheel, just improve on it. Every RedHawk is taken down to bare metal and the airframe is rebuilt with new parts with special attention paid to the known weaknesses of the C172. 1)Replacing the firewall 2)Adding a firewall doubler to every airframe 3)X-raying the wing attach points and correcting any issues 4)Replacing all control cables 5)Installing all new exterior lights 6)Completely rewiring the full electrical system

You don't want to spend hours cleaning pen marks off expensive leather, nor do you want to give up 30 pounds of useful load for faux wood trim. You want a plane that is comfortable, modern, and clean. We call it "Flight School Functional" and it comes standard with every RedHawk.
