If you are able to get that kind of performance with all that extra drag.... When I get mine and fly it clean it will be a little rocket ship!! It will for sure fit its aggressor scheme....

[Beeg]

Can we get the manual for the model posted if it's ready to go?

I've always dug the standard issue gull grey and white scheme. I'll still paint it, so that the plastic parts match. But with my eyes, I need lights on it for sure!:Scared:

[RanGee]

cool, thanks! That's actually a little bit shorter than I was expecting.

Hey Chris,
Put me down for a set of gear doors ;)

Thanks for all your videos Gooniac, I enjoy watching them very much!

Ryan, can you or Mike possibly get a measurement on how wide the battery bay is?

Immediately aft of board 38mm high, 75mm wide. After that the compartment gets bigger so that's the critical dimensions.

Thanks Ryan! Are you sure on the 38mm high dimension? Is that supposed to be 138mm high?

Not entirely. I had Mike measure while I was on the phone. He has the A4 in his possession. Keep in mind there is some room in the cover it self.

Ryan, any chance we can get a grass operations video soon? While there isn't much doubt it will work fine there, it's always comforting to see it happen. :-)

[PikeStaff]

Ugh. Double post.....

What scale is she?

[Beeg]

What scale is she?

If you use stated wingspan it's pretty much 1/9th scale. If you use length, and depending on which source you use it's either a little less than 1/8 or a little more than 1/9th.
So, most are going with 1/9th overall.

[Rosytime]

I posted earlier, Callie Graphics says it 1/9 scale.

Got my Blue Angel graphics from Callie. Now I need an A-4 to put them on.;)

Celebrated National Model Aviation Day at Apollo Field, Van Nuys, CA. Evelyn and I arrived at 6:45am and left at 6:40pm...truly a full day of fun and fellowship with 13 pilots from Apollo Warbird Squadron and many more local pilots and spectators, enjoying a beautiful day in Southern California. Showcased the A-4 during several demo flights and formation flights with my buddy Scott Ramirez flying his PZ Wildcat and Steve Roy's Freewing A-10. The A-4 was a hit! My friend Corey Dail, who flies a turbine A-4 Skyhawk, took the Freewing A-4 up and loved it! I painted the struts white and it really added to the scale appearance. This Skyhawk is off the chain!!
