Man! What a nice ride for my Wren Super Sport!!!!!!!!!!!! Check out those scale inlets. I'm not an A-4 fan, but I may have to do this one!

Tailwinds,

Yeah I talked to Tam a little about this.
I will be ordering a kit for sure.

It will be great to fly one bigger than the Yellow version for a change, plus this one looks awesome.

I think a container of them will be here in July.

http://www.tamjets.com/original/prod...152ce56545846e

what information would you like?
Like Shok said, the container should be here in July. I flew the heck out of the prototype, and fell in love with it. With the test flights we have confirmed: the landing gear location, CG, strength, landing configuration, and performance with P-60 power. All of the testing has been done, and we will confirm this on the first production model that is being built in the shop right now.
This A-4 is the most fun I've had with a jet in a long time, fly's like an A-4.........only it lands better.
Please post any further questions you may have, I will only be able to answer the questions on the flight caracteristics, but the rest of the information will be quickly answered by Tam.
Thank you for your interest,
Dave Presta

Yep, we will have one at California Jets June 1-4 www.ca-jets.com

The Hawk is completed, but waiting for the factory to finish the landing gear.

Yes Vincent is correct, that comment was geared towards people who have owned A-4's in the past, these pilots will truly appreciate the landing caracteristics of Tams kit.

On Tam's website it's showing an ARF A-4 version with paint in the mould and a Kit version with no paint. Any chance an ARF version in basic primer or white gelcoat will be offered?

It also shows a cockpit kit. Great! Any pics?

Also, the munitions and hardpoint options are well appreciated.

Ed,
We offer ARF'S in white gelcoat and paint in the mould assemble here in our shop for highest quality. At this point we haven't come up with the price to have it assemble here.
Drop tank and pylon be available few months after the kit is finish. Right now we focus getting kits and retract done first for summer shipment.

Tam,
Can the A4 be built without the avionics hump or is it part of the top hatch. Will a P-70 fit ok?
