On a smaller scale to Hal's improvements to the Mustang, Stuart Buchanan has been making a number of changes to the venerable [[Douglas A-4 Skyhawk|A4-F Skyhawk]], or "Scooter". Rather than change the existing A-4F Blue Angels model, Stuart has instead modelled a normal Navy A-4F with dual drop-tanks. As well as some minor [[FDM]] tweaking, improvements include a completely new exterior and 3D [[cockpit]], and some more accurate flight control systems including auto-deploying spoilers. The A-4F is an interesting [[Aircraft carrier|carrier]]-based light attack aircraft, designed on the principle of simplicity and lightness by Edward Heinmann. In particular, by making the wings short, they didn't need to be folded for storage on carriers, which meant they didn't need complex wing folds, and hence were lighter and stronger. | On a smaller scale to Hal's improvements to the Mustang, Stuart Buchanan has been making a number of changes to the venerable [[Douglas A-4 Skyhawk|A4-F Skyhawk]], or "Scooter".

En una escala menor a la mejora de Hal con el Mustang, Stuart Buchanan ha estado haciendo una serie de cambios en el venerable [[Douglas A-4 Skyhawk|A4-F Skyhawk]], o "scooter". En lugar de modificar la actual A-4F azul modelo de los Ángeles, Stuart en cambio, ha modelado un normal Marina A-4F con doble abandono de los tanques. Así como algunos pequeños [[FDM]] ajustes, las mejoras incluyen un exterior totalmente nuevo y en 3D [[cockpit|cabina]], y algunos sistemas de vuelo más preciso de control incluyendo la auto-despliegue de alerones. La A-4F es un interesante [[Aircraft carrier|portaaviones]]| aviones la luz de ataque basado en, diseñado en el principio de la simplicidad y la ligereza de Edward Heinmann. En particular, por lo que las alas cortas, que no tenía necesidad de ser doblado para el almacenamiento en un soporte, lo que significaba que no tenía necesidad de complejos pliegues del ala, y por lo tanto eran más ligeros y más fuertes. | |||
