I'm rather partial to Falklands War A-4's. There's no denying that the Argie pilots had the right stuff. Just hope Tam's A-4 can be flown off a grass field.

Seeing chzonio's yellow's A4 operate off grass I see no reason why it won't, as it is larger. IF that is a Bee for power

Joe, that looks like a bee and its a Y/A A-4 i believe. Tams should be ok on grass but maybe the P-70 would be the better choice over the 60.

Hi Vin,

That is what we are thinking here as well (Rob and I). I can't wait to see one of these up close to get a feel for the install size and the fuel capacity. The latest P-70's are unreal, perfect for these smaller planes.

Regards,

We flew the prototype with a P-60, and it had plenty of power for a nice short take off and fast top end speed. I will let you know how the first production plane fly's all painted up.
Vin, you gonna be at California Jets to take the sticks on this baby? I hope so.....dont want to let me have all the fun now do ya?
Of course, the new owner will be there flying it too, but Duky's a pretty good sport.

"Daaaay, It Daddy....Im drinks too many green bottow and now I too sweepy. Da A-Fo look so goo, maybe we dont keep any in stocks for Demo prane........If you goo boy, maybe Duky ret you fry his at Buttomrillo"

Tam

I see in the photo of the bottom of the wing with flap hinges installed. Are the landing gear pod fairings going to hinge when it moves or are they fixed to the flap and fold inside front of gear fairing?

Thank you Rob Lynch.
