  • A4 OR F4?

    So, what do you guys suggest as a 3rd freewing EDF; 6S F4 Phantom or the A4 Skyhawk? Can someone give me the pros and cons of each? Christmas is coming and I am planning on getting one of these. Thanks

    F-4 is more approachable than the A-4 for a third EDF. The A-4 is smaller and more nimble, which is fun in its own right. But the F-4's wider ground stance and its conventional outboard retracts are more resistant to damage than the 90 degree rotating retracts on the A-4. The A-4 can land just as slowly, but as a smaller delta it will always offer you a smaller profile.

      Gotcha. Thanks Alpha. I am leaning towards one immediately and eventually own both of these as my Dad served aboard the USS Forrestal Aircraft Carrier and they had both of these on deck during his time. I will more than likely place the order later this week. Thanks again.
