brain is fartingMy brain is farting but i can tell you that one of the noticeable differences is that the 3 has a single boom support while the 4 has the dual boom supports...if my brain decides to work i will post more
Here is oldfart's reply when I asked the very same question...
Re: Hawk III
Hi Nick,
The only differences of any consequences were:
1 - the IV has a 10mm mainshaft system instead of the 8mm unit in the III. This means the same head block has a 10mm insert, the same washout hub has a 10mm hole, and ditto for the center of the same swashplate.
2 - the III had a single tail boom support strut arrangement and the IV has a double support strut arrangement rendering the boo more rigid. An inexpensive conversion for the III.
3 - the IV has two extra bearings instead of bushings in the collective system...not critical at all.

Thanks for the quote Nick, you saved me a lot of time. I already spend to much time answering questions here.
