A4 "Skyhawk"

Regular price €104,00

The Skyhawk has a modulair setup, you can completely built the different pieces and join them later to complete the airframe. The wing and tail are screwed to the airframe for easy access to the fan unit and battery access.

The Skyhawk is a n excellent flyer but needs a bungee launch to get going, In comparison with the Skyray it needs a bit more "twang" to launch it safely.

Then it has to pick up speed for a few meters , and then....

enjoy the jet feeling of the Skyhawk with loops and rolls.

With the Plettenberg 200-20-6 and 10 cells 1250mAh it fly's for 3 minutes ok,
With a Kontronik Fun 480-33 and 12 cells 1250mAh it fly's with great authority and speed. The Skyhawk needs a 8mmx7,5mtr bungee with 8kg of pulling power.

The A4 is easy to fly but requires good sight.
