Default RE: TamJets A-4 problem tucking issue

With the delta type wing a very large percent of the lift is generated by the inboard part of the wing. With the large intakes blanking out that part of the wing during a turn the low wing will have less lift and the plane will tend to increase the roll. The fix on the full=scale was automatic leading edge deployment to compensate. Neither balance nor weight will correct the problem.
