Well, I got this a an x-mas gift...(I asked for it) and overall, it's a real beauty to look at.
Everyone at my club was impressed by it's looks.
As the assembler of the plane, I have some real reservations, but am holding back on my final assessment until I fly her (This comming weekend).[&:]
Take a look! [8D]
I installed Spring air retracts (same as he cermark F-16's) the nosewheel doesn't fullt retract, but it's better than not at all I guess.
main wheels look good.
I have a feeling the wing tanks may have too much drag, so i'll probably take them off.
She has an OS 55AX in her...And I'm hoping that'll be anough to get her really moving.
I spoke with another RCU member who used the same, but he wasn't all that impressed thus far.
I've owned a VMAR plane before and recall the quality didn't seem all that good, but I was sucked into the unusal A-4's good looks.
This plane seemed to be the same quality...basicly, very brittle (both wood and plastic parts) and I'm afraid it maybe a short lived ARF.
For the Price of $249.00 I guess I got a little less than what I expexted.[X(]
As I said, we'll see after her first few flights.
I taxid the plane at our annual "numb thumbs" day on Jan 1, and club members were impressed by it looks and operating wing tip lights.
She's a real beauty, but requires very gentle handling inthe hangar.
Hope you like it!
