My friend Brent took this pic when I was flying my Scooter last weekend, and added some wingtip trails and exhaust. This little plane cooks!]

Love it, looks scale for sure, can't wait to get back into EDF jets again, took a break and went to scale helis for a bit, I will return one day and one of the first jets I will purchase will be the A-4, love flying the Scooter....!!

Disabling the steering servo when gear is up? I'm running an AR630 controlled by an IX12. Is there a way to disable the steering servo while the gear is in the up position? I had a rough landing last week and since then, I've noticed the front wheel was "tweaked" a bit so I made the adjustments to get it back to good. In the process though, I've noticed some "Slop" in the front nose wheel and about half the time I retract it, it is catching on the side of the retract housing? I did do some trimming allowing it to work fine, but I was just wondering if the steering servo should be operating while the gear is in the up position? Thanks in advance!

When you do the RUD>NGS mix just use a Combo Switch. Switch 1 is the GER, Relation is AND, Switch 2 is whatever you use to control NGS. Personally, I like the Elevator Stick set at 10% down. This does require 2 separate mixes, 1 for low rate NGS and another for high.

Nice shot, looks like the real thing...

Nice shot from friends camera at our last funfly

If you have the steering through a separate channel mixed to rudder you can have the mix inactivate when retracted BUT that could possibly not turn off the gyro trying to correct yaw signal to the servo and it MAY still move. Test it and see what it does.

Not sure why but with a 5000 50C, i only get about 3 minutes. I don't fly WOT the whole time . I can drop the same 5000 in my T-33 and comfortably get 4.5 min

[e4dragongunner]

Just asking... And I may have missed this post. Has anyone put the T-33 power plant in the A-4?

I missed flying there this year, nuts to the park for cancelling the big event, but that's the way its gone this year - hopefully next year we'll all be there to join you and Terry.

Hopefully next year we’ll be back to ops normal, and the event will happen. I look forward to seeing the latest additions to your “fleet”. Are you still flying the Avios MIG and the big F-104?

It is indeed Deer Creek. 900 feet of beautiful asphalt runway. Rarely more than a handful of pilots.

Ummmm, looks like Deer Creek there Geek. I have one still in box, in bags.

Why not ask Motion?

[Ksprousejr]

Anyone have an idea of when or if the A4 PNP will be available again?

Four flights on this one today. Still my favorite.

My maiden didn't go so well. Got too slow and behind the ailerons and tip stalled it in from low altitude but the fuse is done. Does anyone need a set of spare wings with retracts and the fan and esc? Make me an offer to fund a new project ;) My first post but have great seller feedback on the other forums.

PM sent!

[Evan D]

Man, sorry to hear that!
