A4 Skyhawk Part 4
While working on the back end I thought it was a good time to add some scale(ish) detail to the speedbrake recesses. I’ve recently done this to a large F86 It was however pre- built and painted from D4S, for something relatively simple it really added an extra dimension to that model so I decided to do the same on my A4 but this time it would have to be scratch built.

| I’m mainly doing all the odd jobs to the airframe that don’t require any of the electrics as I haven’t ordered those yet. Still plenty to do though… |
| The rudder is removable and requires a bit of work as it damages the top of the fin as it moves so I’ll re profile the leading edge of the rudder towards the top. The servo arrangement is my least favourite method for rudders and if I was doing it initially I… Continue reading |
New Pilot Open Day – Precision Aerobatics

Slope Soaring
Slope Soaring
from
David Thorpe
Whilst our fenny flying field is superb it doesnʼt have a decent hill that we can hurl gliders off! Consequently, given favourable conditions, a few of us car share and drive to the nearest suitable hillside. If the wind is in the west it might be Ivinghoe Beacon, near Dunstable, or if a north easterly Pegsdon otherwise known as Deacon Hill, near Hitchin; both are good hills but the latter is a hellish… Continue reading

A4 Skyhawk Part 2

The mains are twist and turn with lovely wheels and brakes. The nose gear is interesting in several ways… The steering is accomplished using hydraulics and is completely proportional and the nose oleo can be lengthened and shortened via the transmitter to change the AoA of the aircraft on the ground which is similar to what… Continue reading
The A4 Skyhawk Project from the Little Jet Company
In this short series of posts Alex, from The Little Jet Company, will take you through the construction of his latest project, an A4 Skyhawk.
Progress will be slow as I have some important customer projects to do, but it should move along nicely.
This kit is the prototype pre-production model that Skymaster and a number of other builders have started to put together. More needs to be done, or re-done, but I’m impressed with the detail and think it… Continue reading
