I'm getting about 4 minutes as well landing with 3.8's. I was hoping to stuff more mah's into her, but the way the front fuselage was designed and the canopy there's just no more room.

My A4 yesterday with 2 perfect flights, as the massive F86 Turbine takes off, well known jet pilot Pablo Fernandez commented how nice the A4 looked as he taxied made me proud of my custom job . I find the 5000mah HRB lipo best suited for this jet, especially if you're flying with external fuel tanks, hump and missiles. The A4 tends to be tail heavy, I came down at 45% after 4 min flight.1 Photo

Finally managed some flights with my Freewing A-4 Skyhawk, Corona flying restrictions were lifted!
Those were the first flights with the new livery (Buck Danny flying tigers comics). I also had a new FMS 80mm 2100kv Pro installed.
The plane accelerates without a problem now on our grass field, rotation in 40 metres if I want. The plane is a blast now and visibility is a lot better now in grey/blue skies! I'm happy I airbrushed the new livery and added the new EDF setup

Greetings all, I just got back from flying my A-4 on a new 80mm 6s in runner motor from MRC. This is a great setup. I noticed that it is an option now as a "High Performance" version of the model. It flys fantastic. There was not even a cg change after the motor was installed. After couple of flights getting used to the new motor, I did one of my favorite maneuvers. On take off, lift off, pull up the gear, stay low, and then pull to the vertical with a slow roll at the end of the runway. It couldn't do it before but now it's no problem. Scooter is such a fun plane to fly.
