a4

Read this great review and write up: a4

Q: A4 Skyhawk, built as an Attack Aricraft. How would you rate it as a fighter?
The A4 is essentially a 50’s design. How would you rate it, as a fighter, against 60’s and 70’s Aircraft. F-16 etc.
Actually “Top Gun’ school used A-4’s to Whup @ss on F-15, F-16 and F-18’s. There is a difference between perception and reality.

A: agile.

note they were used by the aggrssor squadrons

however being subsonic, and without the radar, it would suffer in the air combat of the 60ites and 70ies.

i would not compare it wiht the MiG 21 even though it was used to mock the MiG. they are basically extremely different, MiG being optimised for supersonic flight.

btw i think that the A4s were used to act like the frescos MiG 17 rather than Mig 21s. the F 5 were used as the Mig 21 and the F4 were used to act like Mig 23 flogger. at least the usage of F4 in the ground suipport role MiG 23/27 was mentioned in a documentary about a Red flag.

citing wiki:
> Trainer versions of the Skyhawk remained in Navy service, however, finding a new lease on life with the advent of adversary training, where the nimble A-4 was used as a stand-in for the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17 in dissimilar air combat training (DACT). It served in that role until 1999.<

>With renewed emphasis on Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM) training brought on with the establishment of the Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN) in 1968, the availability of A-4 Skyhawks in both the Instrument RAGs and Composite Squadrons at the Master Jet Bases presented a ready resource of the nimble Skyhawks that had become the TOPGUN preferred surrogate for the MiG-17. At the time, the F-4 Phantom was just being exploited to its full potential as a fighter and had not performed as well as expected against the smaller North Vietnamese MiG-17 and MiG-21 opponents. TOPGUN introduced the notion of dissimilar air combat training (DACT) using the A-4E in the striped “Mongoose” configuration with fixed slats<

***hey ladies, having the apg 53 does not mean it is capable of Air to Air combat. its fire control device, not air interception.***

Sure if you place the A4 against the F16/f18 to fight the maneuver combat, then the pilot with better tactics should win, especially if thee A4 pilot is the teacher there, and the F16 the student. However the air combat is NOT just about dogfighting. in a real life the odds would be against the A4, in terms of 30+kms range of Amraam vs. 14 kms at the best of the sidewinger. plus the interceptor planes have the advantage of better situational awareness.

Q: How do I get an A4 printer to print onto a piece of paper that is A3 height and A4 width?
I’ve already set the parameters on the page settings in MS Word, so it displays properly on the screen but when I print it cuts off whatever doesn’t fit onto a A4 paper height. Can anyone help me?

A: Depends what printer U use !

usually you will need to set up the driver to use that size paper too, IF it suppoer long paper

Q: How many A4 pages (double sided) would Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone fill?
I’m planning to write a novel just something short around the size of Philosophers stone (uk edition). How many A4 pages (double sided) do you think that book would fill?

A: It would be dependent on the font size, margins around pages.
It could be 400 to 2400. 2400 would be a large print edition.

But if you publish it electronically it may not matter how much paper a paper book would have used.

Q: How many A4 size papers are in a novel of 100 pages?
I’m writing a story, and i want to know how many A4 pages are in a 100 page paperback novel. So i want to make it like 177 pages.

A: Approximately 1.5 pages for 1 A4 size paper.

Q: What is Biology half an A4 page very brief thanks in advance?
What is Biology half an A4 page very brief thanks in advance?
I need to write half an A4 page on ‘What is Biology’ and I am havin problems so I would appreciate it if someone could write something for me. Or give me a few links.

A: The simplest answer is “Biology is the science of life and of living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution. It includes botany and zoology and all their subdivisions”

If you want to expand on this then you can go on to describe examples of biological cycles such as the Krebs Cycle.

Hope that helps you a little.

Q: How do I stop my computer from defaulting to A4 printer paper?
This is windows Vista x64. Every time I go to print I have to manually change the paper size from A4 to Letter.

A: Go to Control Panel, then Printer, then choose the printer to set the option inside.

Q: How many pages of A4 paper do you think accounts for a 10 minute presentation?
I have to give a public speech on Tuesday and I’m not sure how many pages of A4 would account for 10 minutes of speaking at a slow steady pace. Could someone please help me out here?

A: Read your paper in front of a mirror and time yourself. I read about 1 page every 2 minutes. Remember you will talk slightly faster in front of a group.

Q: How do I print my Autocad picture to fit an A4 sheet of paper?
Hey, I’ve got a very basic 2d picture and i need to print it to fit on a A4 piece of paper but dont know how to make it fit. On the print preview its always cutting out bits of it. Im using autocad 2009.

A: In page setup select
PLOT AREA –> Window ( select are of ur image)
Paper Size –> A4
Plot Scale –> Fit to Paper
Plot Offset –> Center the plot

If u are working with Scale don’t select (Plot Scale –> Fit to Paper)/ it should be 1:1

Q: How long do 2001 Audi A4’s run before they start having problems?
Just bought a 2001 Audi A4 1.8T with 104xxx miles. I plan to do all the required regular maintance. I’ve heard these cars run long if well maintained?

I’m just asking becuase I plan to mod the car, but only will if I’m sure the engine can take it.

A: A modded car will have to be maintained more meticulously so be aware. I have seen very well maintained stock 1.8t’s make it well into the high 100k miles. I have seen very poorly maintained 1.8t’s die before they make it out of warranty. In your case, be sure to only use synthetic engine oil and if the timing belt hasn’t been done within the last 5 years or so, do it now. Be aware of sludge issues with this engine too. Check the underside fo the oil cap for sludge residue. If there is any, you may want to look into a flush and stuff. Audi dealers have a procedure that involves replacing several lines and using factory cleaning equipment to resolve most of these issues. Its not going to be cheap. I would stay away from any over the counter flush solutions though. They typically do more damage then helping. If you take care of your car, then it should be able to take you close to the 200k mile mark with only minor problems.

Q: Is there any difference between the 2003 audi a4 and the a4 quattro?
I am asking because i just bought an air intake kit for my audi. Mine is the Audi A4 quattro 1.8l turbo charged.

A: If the air intake is for the 1.8T engine you should be fine. One model year won’t make a difference. That engine has been around a long time.

The difference between a regular A4 and a quattro is the quattro has AWD.

Q: How much does it cost on average to print an colour A4 page using an inkjet printer?
I’m trying to work out a budget for some printing jobs and have recently purchased an HP Pro K5400 printer. I am looking to find out how much it would cost roughly to print a side of A4 in colour. 118118 suggested £44 which I really hope is wrong!! Anyone with any sensible suggestions please let me know. Thanks.

A: The person above seems correct. This is an extract from a review of the printer, it states:

“Printer models are on a fast cycle of obsolescence, so there is little across-the-board comprehensive testing for ink cartridge efficiency. Based on manufacturer’s specs and the comparative testing by PC World magazine, my research points to the HP Officejet K5400 as having the most cost-efficient ink supply right now. The estimated cost per page of black ink for the K5400 is 1.4 cents, and color is 5.9 cents per page. My previous printer ran 10 times that. I have not been able to find a lower page rate for any other desktop machine.”

Whoever said £44 must have been sniffing at the wacky backy!

Q: How do I enlarge photos to print on several A4 pages to make my own wall art? I need a free software download?
Hi I am wanting a free software that i can download that will allow me to enlarge photos and then print them on A4 paper to create wall art. So one photo will be enlarged to fit on say 12 or more A4 pages. Can anyone recommend a free software to download?

A: That’s what I was going to say.

Q: Is it possible to install a navigation system in a 2004 Audi A4 or A6?
I want to get either an 04 A4 or A6 but I also want a navigation system in it but none come with it. Is it possible?

A: If you cant find one with it already as an option you can always just buy one from the dealer or Ebay and just swap it. Or there are the aftermarket ones, i.e. Garmin.

Q: How long does a 2005 Audi A4 last? And what kind of fuel does it take?
I am purchasing a 2005 Audi A4 Convertible. Currently, it has 95,868 miles. I am wondering how many more miles it will be able to handle? It has a 1.8 Liter 4 Cylinder Engine. My other question is regarding the type of fuel it takes. I have heard that Audis tend to require the “plus” or “premium” fuel. Will this car be able to accept regular unleaded fuel or do I need to fill up with the more expensive type of fuel?

A: 95k on a 2005, i would probably stay away. However if you want to continue with the sale make sure it has all of the maintenance records and they are done at the proper time. Also if it hasnt had its major tune up, belts, water pump ect. its time for that which is around 1500. How many more miles can it handle, how knows. Its had a rough life so far, I cant see this thing making it past 130k without any problems.

As for fuel, if this were the v6 I would say put in what you want, but with the 1.8t your going to want to go witht he recommended 91 octane.

Q: How much would it cost to maintain a 2002 A4?
I am looking to purchasing A4 or a Volvo S80, However so far everyone I know keeps telling me that it would be expensive to maintain here in canada. I personally always prefer driving german, i am aware of the electrical issues they have. I’ve lived in europe all my life, I am just not aware of the costs of maintaing an A4 in canada. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated

A: not bad if you do the work yourself. You can order all parts on line.

Keep in mind the timing belt/cooling system needs to be done at 80K intervals or sooner. Also the rubber they have rots so every seal, o-ring, hose, tube etc… will need to be replaced by 100K.

I don’t spend a lot on parts and do the labor myself but it is time consuming so mechanics would want some $$$ for the work. I have a 3.0 and have spent 2000 getting it sorted. replacing rubber basically.
