Official Freewing 80mm A-4E/F Skyhawk Thread

Hard to believe that they both use the same size fan. Doing a great job pushing the technology.

Can't wait to order this one. Because of all the different paint scheme possibilities, the Scooter was my number 2 on my list of "wants" behind the A-10.

Thanks for continuing to push the bar higher and higher.

Our 80mm Mirage is feeling a little puny next to his bigger brother.

I agree! Heinemenn's Hot Rod! 80mm. Scale it big enough that it'll have a light wing loading and fly scale-like on 4S, but with upgrades to 6S for the speed demons! Like they did with the F-16 V2. That's the one I'd pre-order, that and a OV-10!! I want a Skyhawk and a Bronco!

You said it Boots, light wing loading it is. Even with the 5000 in the A4 it feels light in the hand. Amazing flight character and unreal slow flight.

Great pic Jon! Thanks a ton!

[Jimbobtheflimbob]

Ryan is the slow flight like the mig? that looked crazy slow in your youtube video. Which do you prefer of the two?

[RCjetdude]

What video? Have they published it yet?

[bill34207]

If they did, it's well camouflaged. I went looking and couldn't find it.

He's talking about the mig 21 vid.

[RCjetdude]

Ahh... Gotcha ;)

Wow... It's almost the same size as the T-45! Impressive!

Screw it... This baby's going 8s. That wing will definitely take the weight!

I sure wish they would have made the tandem cockpit TA4-J. My father in law use to work on them and the T-2 at Chase Nas, Beeville Tx. I sure liked the white and orange paint scheme and the Navy aggresser schemes on the tandem cockpit. Those were good old times watching them shoot touch and goes at the base, pre 911 of course !! Then he was on the mod squad for the T-45 when they started rolling in. I was there when transition first started. It was awesome when Motion announced the 90 mm T-45, had to have it and it's a great flying jet. Can't wait for the A-4, even though it ain't the TA4-J.

We just got ours up in the air yesterday for pictures and video. The grass field video will be further out. It can really be slowed down and nose high approaches look fantastic.

[RCjetdude]

Really looking forward to that pre-order before my money goes 'poof'! It has a way of doing that.... :Dizzy:

[Pheonix]

Okay. Take my order now. Please.

[Felixs10]

When is that preorder button going to appear ?

Hey Ryan,

Are you you able to share dimensions/scale? I had a look through the thread...albeit and 'man' look but couldn't find those details. I'm loving this Jet! Would love to get the size for Callie Graphics for decals for custom scheme that is planned for zee A4 ;)

Thanking you
