New Skymaster A -4 Skyhawk Flight

[@dondavid6430]

Hi Tim! It was a pleasure meeting you today at the Georgia Jets fly-in! Thank you so much for telling Alex (the SR-71 Blackbird team member) and me all about your beautiful Skyhawk! You did an amazing job on the entire plane. It is so realistic with the "wear" look you have given it and as Alex stated, you did a super job on all of the wiring harness and detail. Best of luck to you winning best in show......you deserve it! Thank you again for all the time you spent sharing your beautiful plane with us!!

[@TinkerManRC]

Sure it was a pleasure to meet you as well..Thanks

[@valerioyou]

beautiful plane model !! ... if you insert a small video camera connected to your snartphone you can have a view exactly identical to that of a pilot also using virtual reality glasses, it would be an incredible experience !!.... 😁👍

[@TinkerManRC]

Thanks for the tip! Will have to try it..

[@valerioyou]

+RCHeliJet Hi Tom Thanks again ..Tim

:) have a nice Weekend

Love it, fantastic recreation of a A-4M. I was stationed in VT-7 1975 to 1979. Unfortunately they never had a one seater or any A-4Ms. They only had TA-4J's which was a 2 seated training version of the A-4 aircraft. Still a fantastic job and really enjoy your video. FLY NAVY!

[@TinkerManRC]

Awesome, Thank-you for your service and comment

[@coreyseals68]

+flymrc77 thank you for the kind words and commenting ..Tim

[@scootergeorge9576]

Great looking and flying model! But wouldn't a VT squadron use the TA-4J? Used to work on the A-4. They would paint non skid on the drop tanks and "No Step" on top of that!

[@TinkerManRC]

Hi George Thanks for commenting ..Tim

[@stevemccoy554]

Lol Double Nuts rides again! I strapped Cdr. Red Riley (Co Vt-7) in that (His) bird one fine summer day. 'Once Upon a Time'. Red did'nt fly much, rarely seen on the flight line. . I recall that he was pretty much stuffed in his flight gear:) God Bless Him. I tracked down the name of his hometown and did an obit. search. Sure nuff, he is gone now. Folded Wings...rip.

[@FinestRacing]

Great job as always.

Was attached to VF-126 (TA-4J) NAS Miramar 1971-73, like to hear from former members, great little A/C

[@TinkerManRC]

Thanks for your service and thanks for comment..Tim

[@beyondfossil]

Gotta put some FPV on these things and really let them stretch their legs! :-) I wanna see a 250mph+ flyby with the jet low altitude right on the edge of visual range (of someone with extra good 15/20 vision)! FAA legal of course. Oh yeah, another great vid! Love that authentic fighter jet sound.

[@TinkerManRC]

+Rotormatic Thanks for commenting ..Tim

[@kendonnelly3248]

Sweet jet. Nice build and flight..

[@TinkerManRC]

Hi Ken Thanks .. Tim

[@av8rgrip]

Very nice RC Skyhawk, but just fyi, VT-7 never had an A-4M to my knowledge. the turtle back (hump) is specific to the "mike". Now they did have a few single seat aircraft a few years before I arrived at the squadron in '93, but those remained in fleet camouflage. other than that, the plane is awesome.

[@garypugh1153]

amazing how real they look in the air. i just fly control line.

[@TinkerManRC]

Hi Gary , thanks for commenting ..Tim

[@williewideback]

nice flight nice landing

[@TinkerManRC]

I was an avionics tech on the A-4F "Superfox" and TA-4F and J 1979 through 1984. Loved those things. Was fortunate enough to get about 20 hours of back seat time.
