    My personal opinion of the inputs on the A-10 fall in line with Patrnflyr.
    As matter of fact, even though the trailing link main gear was against the scale enthusiasts it ironically looks like the scale scissor link oleo is going to be the resolve to the bucking bronco scenario.
    The belly aching about the gears was crazy on RCG both before and after the release...some are just never satisfied.

    I agree that this thread isn't a "gripe" session, but after all of the transparency MotionRC and good faith information provided during the A-10 development and build and then let's just say the belly aching they had to endure about this, that and the other, I fully understand the close to the vest they have been with information on the planes that have been coming out. I know that they know EVERYONE would love to have a twin 80 F4 Phantom, I personally would love one. They are probably working on one and have been for a while as their smaller one is no longer available. With the Thud and F-8 recently released, it seems that they are working on Vietnam era planes right now. F4 would fit right in with that.

If you have noticed, the last planes have all be announced just when they could be pre-ordered. The community blew it when they blew back on MotionRC when they were trying to transparent with their models.

    Instead of dreaming of a white Christmas, I was dreaming of a FW, FMS or HSD big F-4 with all the trimmings. I'll wake up one day. Click image for larger version

    It is a shame how you freed up that space for another ship too Bill.

    Same here. I just recently freed up some space for a big twin 80 or single 90 Phantom (or Raptor as far as that goes) ;)

    Too bad we didn't get a Christmas surprise with a great F- Phantom II with multiple liveries. Oh well, I'll just keep working on the junk LX F-4 to make them fly better at 5,800 feet. I'm working on using HSD Viper hydraulic landing gear (tracks really well and the nose gear steering is flawless). I'm using the FMS 70mm 12B fans with the inrunner motors (1850kv) (get about 3.5 minutes with 30% left; using the Roaringtop 6S, 5,500mah, 70C battery). I also tried it with one FMS 70mm 12B fan and a Wemo 70mm, 9B, 3300kv inrunner - talk about flying fast. I might install the other Wemo 70mm, 9B, 3300kv inrunner after I consider the battery options.
    Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to all! Click image for larger version

    Good stuff.
    Planning to gloss coat my Blue Angels A-4 with it once the graphics are completely done.
