I learned in this maiden that the Skyhawk flies better with the tanks on.
I flew mine with the drop tanks on its 3rd flight in November 2017. They moved the center of pressure forward because they stick out in front of the wing. So, it flew like it was tail heavy. It stood on its tail after takeoff and when I tried to land it, it pitched up, stopped flying, fell onto the runway, and broke the tail off. I fixed it and have flown it many times since then, but not with the drop tanks. It's the plane that caused me to look for a self-leveling/bank-limiting gyro. It flies much better now.
Well I need to get this one up again, This fight was months ago.
Very nice jet. 🙏
thanks
Looks like a sweet jet! 🛩️
I just need to fly her again this was months ago!
SO HUGE ENORMOUS 😊
Yeah I am surprised it is not a 90mm.
I have flown mine for years largely without the drop tanks but I do agree with Wesley, it does fly a bit more stable with them on.
If I recall I also upgraded my fan to an inrunner. Been a few years since I first got it. Hard to keep up!
Yeah those drop tanks really make a difference! Yeah the new more efficient inrunner is standard now.
i like it
Thanks, fyi i have improved the sound in these vides since this one.
The A-4 is a top-heavy airplane. Everything about it is above the wing. So, yes, the ordinance probably lowers the CG enough to make it a little more stable. But, you'd better move the battery forward some. Also, delta wings like high-alpha. They stall at a higher angle of attack than straight wings.
I have the 5k as far forward as possible.
Hi, see you are using a lemon rx with stability. What is your starting gyro gain - on my textgen ones with my RM TX16s and the S1 pot down all the way it starts at 33%. Obviously can turn the gyro off completely
Yes i am using the Lemon, I never mess with the pots I leave them at factory so they should be at %100 and I use my roller for all the way up or down.
Your sound is all weird. Can't hear the jet , and you sound muffled
Yeah I have a better mic now.
