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

Taken from the thread on RCG.

Wingspan = 940mm

Length = 1430mm

I believe it is 1/11th scale.

Ah, very good. Thank you sir.

I come up with 1/8.6 scale.

The real plane had a wingspan of 26 feet 6 inches, or 318 inches.

The mode is 940mm or 27 inches.

Divide 318 by 27 you get 8.59 (or 8.6 rounded up).

[RCjetdude]

940mm is 37" but 318/37 is 8.6 so I must have been using that "funny" math the first time I ran the numbers. :Silly:

Yeah I told Callie 1:9 scale after calc. All good. Thanks again gents. :)

Did I miss it somewhere- what is the expected price so I can raid my wife's piggy bank before she counts the contents. Thanks.

[dkalwishky]

You didn't miss it, I haven't seen it published yet.

Beeg Those pilots are huge. 6.0' I don't even know if you could close the canopy on a 6' pilot in a real A-4.

yeah, that's just the spreadsheet I use for all airplanes. I remember once standing on a ladder looking into an A-4 cockpit and thought to myself you have to be a pretty small person to fit in one of those. I certainly couldn't at 6' 2" and that was when I was skinny.

[spec450]

I'm 6'3 and I've sat in an A-4 before. It felt like a phone booth.

[TiredIronGRB]

My wife in an A-4...

[xplaneguy]

Ladies love the Skyhawk!

[dkalwishky]

I told my wife that I wasn't buying another plane until Christmas. Looks like I may break that promise. :Scared:

[RCjetdude]

pfffft!

Did you hear that? That was the sound of my money going 'poof'.... or did I just pass gas?!? No, it was my money... now I gotta wait until Friday to pre-order. Man I hope it doesn't open up much before then now. :Scared:LOL

[RCjetdude]

We don't know yet.

[bill34207]

I think we are all waiting quietly for the pre-order to appear so we can find out how much. :Drooling:

[Alpha10]

Crossing fingers for a Pre Order discount! ;)
