A-4 Skyhawk flaps
I am building a Yellow Aircraft A-4 to fly off of my grass field and would like to know if flaps are worth it? I am trying to make it as light as possible.Does anyone have any experiance flying a YA skyhawk off grass?

RE: A-4 Skyhawk flaps
I have built 4 of these jets...all O.S. .91 / Dynamax powered. I did not have flaps on any of them. Grass take off was in about 400'. This was very short grass and with someone holding the jet while I ran it up to full power and then releasing it. That was at 11 pounds dry weight.
