Default A-4 Skyhawk

Anyone know where i can get the nosewheel strut for the Yellow/JHH size A-4. Yellow is out of stock, Robart doesn't show the style i need and i think JHH only sells the complete landing gear set. Thanks Doug

I would give Larry or Chris a call at Jet Hangar international, they might have just the nose strut

Joe, the fan is the Aeronaut turbofan 4000 (120mm) Motor is Neumotor 1912-1y, castle 110 amp h/v esc, ubec h/v , (2) 5 cell lipo Thuder power Extremes 5000 mah. i have ordered the Spektrum DX7 for control. This is a 3000 watt setup and i'm shooting fo a close to 1:1 power ratio. I'm about 1 sq. inch short of fan swept area on my intakes. I am leaving the circular center section (spinner fairing) open to provide aditional air through nose gear door opening. This should have minimal effect on main airflow. My son just put the 3'rd flight on his Jepe A-4 1000 watt setup. What a nice flying jet. we have to do the paint scheme, but we are having a hard time finding the light grey Navy fighter colors in a spray can. I will need the same when i'm ready to paint mine.

JW , i haven't flown the A-4 on edf yet. I have flown as ducted fan and turbine and loved the way it handles. All with sport wing. Aeronaut fan was $350, Neumotor 1912-1y $200. Castle 110 $225. Go to Dynamo electric for your batteries talk to Randy, nobody can touch him. I'm shooting for 9-10 lb flying weight and will be close to 1/1 pwr to weight ratio i hope.
