I remember growing up seeing the Blue Angels as the A-4s while at the Moffett NAS airshows back in the days. I could see them fly from my house when they practiced and would go to the shows as well. I was never able to see the Thunderbirds as T-38s but kinda wish I had! Same with them both being the F-4s.... that would have been amazing I am sure!! When I get this A-4 I think that the Agressors from the Top Gun days will suit it just fine!

The manual being posted this week on the product page will recommend this position. I like a small amount of up trim, as shown, when flying with the ordnance. Thanks to Xplaneguy and some of our more intrepid pilots to test the tail-heavy range of this delta-winged aircraft... not for the faint of heart!

Originally posted by Tom.MotionRC View PostI have some good news and bad news. The good news is the first batch of A4 PNP are completed and ready to ship. The bad news is the A4 ARF+ has not been completed and will ship later. I apologize to the guys waiting on the ARF+. Looks like it will be 2-4 weeks behind the A4 PNP.
