Will the gear hold up ok on a grass runway ?

If the grass is really short and the ground below is smooth, you should have no problem. Otherwise I would strongly recommend flying off pavement as it will extend the life of your nose retract.

Looks like they have the same problem with the runway as we do, canyon sized gaps that like to rip wheels off. Great plane though!! She took it well.

Greetings Gang,

Nice shot and video..
I really liked the added LEDs.

I was hoping to maiden/video my A-10 this weekend but, once again I was smitten as the winds came once again sweeping down the plains!!

Hoping to maiden soon.

Greetings Guy's,

Well, I continue to learn something new every day!

I FINALLY got all my ducks in a row to video a day of flying. I strapped on my dorky bicycle helmet with Go-Pro securely mounted on top and 32Gb SD Card installed and proceeded along through the day videoing away.

Feeling confident (and a bit like Steven Spielberg) I hurried home to go into video production!!

I begin watching the first playback and the video motion is spurting along like a Commodore 64 trying to run Windows 8!!! What the heck!!! All of the recordings were the same.

Now comes the learning part..... after some troubleshooting and dare I say it... reading of the Go-Pro manual, I discovered that SD Cards come rated not only in capacity but, also in playback speeds!!!

According to the manual the 1080 HD format for the Go-Pro requires an SD Card with a playback speed of 10. After investigating the card I was using I realized it is rated at a playback speed of 4!!!! Who Knew???

So, it's back to the mall for another SD Card........ Sheesh!!!

I will be victorious!!! Stay tuned....
