A-4E Skyhawk mod.
Well guys, this is a new experiment. This is a 7 years old A-4 Skyhawk molded in honeycomb...
done by a Brazilian guy living in Miami . The problem with this kit, as far as I know, is
that it has the nasty habit of snapping at take off. ( the 2 other kits built here in Curitiba where lost
in the first flight) , so the original owner lost interest on it...
Having witnessed both crashes, I thought that it deserves a chance, as long some mods where built
on it. The problem is that I really like the A-4 ,and I want to stay as close as possible to the original ,
without changing too much its looks.
The full scale A-4 didn´t have this tip stall tendency at all written in the history books, I think that the
slats where part responsible for this, so I drawed a fixed slat / leading edge drop on the scale wing.
Mr.Patake worked so fast on it that I didn´t have pics of the early opened wing structure... also the
horizontal estabilizer where slightly enlarged too.
Let´s see what will happen with this scooter!
