Another design from the golden era of carrier jets! Goes very well in the hanger with the A6 Intruder and the Harrier :)
She flies exactly like the A4 should fly. Tons of pitch authority, great roll authority, she will plop land. easy to hand launch if you throw her from the EDF area on the fuselage. dont throw this one from the exhaust. Flies similar to a sport jet but it wont tip stall like a sport jet because of the delta ish wings.
super simple build and it has a rudder!
When buying a 3d printable airplane here are some pro tips:
Never buy a plane without multiple unedited videos of the hand launch flight and landing! make sure they aren't overly complex and have a million parts that take for ever to assemble.

3D printing settings
Always dial in your specific printer for active foaming LW PLA. (I recommend Bambu labs if you're buying one) i can send you my settings if you run Bambu labs
1 wall
2 top and 2 bottom layers
3% grid infill for everything but
final rear Fuselage section should be 2 wall 4% infill for strength
horizontal tails should be 2 wall 3% and all control surfaces should be 5% infill.
