This new style of airfoil will revolutionize aircraft as we know it on SimplePlanes. Mine is not perfect, but one of my earliest examples of this technique.

Well, I am back after a couple short months. And here I present a fairly simple project. I have lost motivation to upload as I struggle to finish out a project fully enough to upload it. But meh, I figured if this build is unsatisfactory to you guys than that's not really my problem. As I play sp longer and longer I find myself losing motivation in projects fairly quickly thus not finishing the project. This one I feel is pretty much as good as I could get it.
I hope you guys enjoy it too.

    @Hedero Ok thx anyway. I just noticed the notification because I checked my phone while my wing tank was on fire with no chance of going out because the tanks are not self sealing. I love the A4 in war thunder but sometimes it just causes me pain.

    Well, I have an a-4 skyhawk in my files that I built a few months ago but now it is outdated and not finished. I don't think I will finish it however you're more then welcome to download the unlosted model. @R2d2hunter

    I know you told me that you don’t take request really but hopefully you have the same love for the A4 skyhawk as I do. Smooth curves look great in your build style and it is a plane in War Thunder so you can use the models.
