A5 has a fusselage slightly longer to restore the CoG that had changed due to equipment additions in A4.

I believe that A5 had also a revised wing wich was slightly lighter than that on A4. But I'm not sure about if it was the A5 or the A6 the plane that had the revised wing.

A-6 had a new wing to take the MK 108 internally, amoung other things.

The motor mounts were lengthened to negate some vibration problems.

If I remember correctly, there was also a change in the radio that was used.

Dunno about the wing, but the engine mount was lengthened due the CoG change. A4 had the CoG shifted backwards and the new engine mount served to shift it back to its correct position.

didnt it also come with a CD player instead of a cassette deck and it had aluminum wheels instead of the standard steel ones?
