Well I bought the fms A10..

Me too, luckily the gear held up

You must be a good pilot. Nevertheless, give the gear a good pull to ensure there’s no slop in the mounting area.

It flew great, all the way until the esc burned out on the first lap... so phone call to tower in the morning ... luckily I was able to land uneventfully as well.

Oh man, I hate to hear things like this. I hope this plane don’t turn into a white elephant like it did for the 2 guys at my field.

Nice I'll see how bad it is with mine and if it gets too annoying I'll definitely follow suit. Thank you for the advice. It really is a beautiful plane.

Your welcome, FMS may have fixed the problem by now, you will know the minute you accelerate........:Cool:

Hahaha I actually got a little help from one of them, and yeah some of that I read there was well, ummm yeah as you said. I had finally found a use for those useless weights that were in the tail of the b26 to get her to balance perfectly with my 4500 packs. It's right on the pin at 85mm wheels up. And good news with that is If i need to move the cg back I have all the room in the world. :)

You will like it I'm sure, mine flew great right out of tha box, only sold it to get the FW A-10. The FMS A-10 lands very nice, takeoffs were a pain until I fixed the steering arm, I had problems with my steering on mine, drilled out the aluminum horn to except a 2-56 rod with a Z bend, I used the stock servo horn and screw adjustment, 2-56 rod will slide right in, so much better steering, no flex to give you that slingshot left or right surprise.:Scared::Scared::Thinking:

Rifelman, i was following the fms a10 on RCG (another betrayel....). I rememember something about a front gear steering issue (i think). You might try looking over that thread before maiden. But not for too long as your mind will become slower and you will feel compelled to write stupid sh##t.
Ps....dont tell anyone but i am picking up my P61 up today from bitgo. Que music "your cheat'n heart"

[rifleman_btx]

Thanks brother!

[BluesDragon]

Very nice.... congrats rifleman! :Cool:

[rifleman_btx]

Got her unboxed and programmed ready for action, so far I really like the build quality, the fit and finish is great, and all the electronics are looking good and working smoothly. So far so good, next step is we shall see how she flys:) I'm very happy

[rifleman_btx]

Yes indeed the receiver came in this afternoon, and the a10 is on the truck for delivery, I'm expecting them to get here around 2030-2100

[PlaneDoc]

Welcome to the A-10 club! I love mine:)

[rifleman_btx]

Thanks man I'm really looking forward to it

[Helmsman52]

Congrats man! You’ll love it!

[rifleman_btx]

I'll have the plane tomorrow I'm hoping the receiver will as well, if not itll be here Saturday according to the track. But USPS seem to always get things here a day early. It would be great if that would be the case again.

[rifleman_btx]

The plane is in route as well as the extra batteries and reciever. :) I'm so ready to see this bird:pop

[rifleman_btx]

Haha yes indeed! And I sure will, I am planning on using a 4500mah pack vs the recommended 5000mah, just to save on some weight. I dont really think the 500 man difference will do much, but I figured every little bit helps.

[Elbee]

So I'll report how I feel about it here, as I didnt want to say it on the freewing thread. I am hoping for ship out tomorrow morning and hopefully here this weekend. I did buy the receiver from motion though, so atleast a part of it will come from the motion crew. Still pained me to have to go that way, but had to do it to get myself an A10 during this year.

riflreman_btx, Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Look forward to seeing your results. Congrats. Best, LB
