Default RE: Byron A-4 Skyhawk

ORIGINAL: Chas

Been into RC Airplanes for about 18 years but never got into jets till now. Just purchased a very nice Byron A-4 with .90 Rossi. Any help would be great. The byron is the bigger A-4 on the market at 70" x 45" That should help a first time flyer??

Thanks.

Ive flown RC planes for 6 years and jets almost 1.. I found that the bigger the jets the easier to fly.. post a picture.. how much wing area does yours have and whats the weight (dry)? how much fuel does she hold? make sure your nose has a high nose-up angle when sitting with the gears down on level pavement. makes take offs a little easier/shorter... The first thing I noticed different from a fast gas plane than a ducted fan jet is theres no prop wash.. no taking off in 50 feet with DF jets.. you neeed to build up speed with a DF.. Do you have the A-4s CG location and control surfaces throws? you'll want to have those for sure....
