A-4 Skyhawk RNZAF Carrier launch

6,685 corsair013  5.2 years ago
Auto Credit Based on corsair013's A-4K "Humpback" Skyhawk RNZAF

This is the earlier version of the skyhawk with the giant hump on the back housing the MASSIVE flight computer(it was old), later versions do not have this hump, as the NZ technicians fiddled with it and smaller computer software became available(That is Kiwi ingenuity for ya) .
Controls: AG1 Release carrier gear after launch. AG3 trim enable (use full up trim when coming into land below 210knots) AG4+trim carrier hook, and VTOL for flaps. Enjoy!
