McDonnell Douglas OA-4M SkyHawk

by Kazunori Ito

*******************************************************************************

Making A-4N was requested.
As for N, it is an airframe of Israel of the topic.
A little making felt intimidated.

OA-4M that was the last type in same A-4 was made this time.
Though I think it is considerably interesting

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OA-4M is a machine only for FAC for MARINES remodeled from TA-4F.
An engine and an electronic equipment are the same as the A-4M standard of the latest type.
And, externals other than the cockpit apply to A-4M.
However, it doesn't equip the drag chute.

[ About the directions point in FS2004 ]

This aircraft model is made by using FSDS Ver2.24.
Therefore, it is possible to play basically in FS2004(FS9).
However........!!
For a wide large-scale aircraft, the distortion is caused and the phenomenon of the aerofoil tip's disappearing happens in the spot shooting mode.
If this phenomenon happens, Please switch to the spot shooting mode by using other small aircraft.
Afterwards, if this aircraft is selected, it is normally displayed.
