  • The white stripe is probably for the Maverick.

    • I saw that too, but the set came with two Mav's and only one white stripe (as far as I could find on the decal sheet at least).

      • Yeah, it's probably an optional thing.

          20 hours of hand brush painting the acrylics so far. Should be all done with Callie's stuff on it by Fri. :Whew:
          Notice my non OCD workshop LOL

          So that's what you have been up to lately. I really like the color combination. Very unique. :Cool:I can't wait to see it at NEFI.

            • [QUOTE=crxmanpat;n79961]Is there any interest in sets of these decals? I could print a bunch and send them for like $5 total, basically just to cover printing and shipping costs.

              I am interested.

              In fact I would love all the ordinance to have the correct markings ala details galore.

              Anyone else?

                • The 90mm nacelles arrived safely. The black tail cones are in fact provided, and are appropriately sized (of course larger than the cones for the 80mm compatible nacelles). I plan to put the Stinger 90 power systems in these as it is considered a lower current set-up (for me at least), yet provide some good thrust, and hopefully will be easy to CG with the heavy batteries I am using.

                  • I will make up a set of graphics with as much detail as I can muster, and will post the final results here (and on RCG), and then just get details for orders via PM.

                    • Ready for maiden, which will happen in about an hour. I went ahead and added decals with the exception of the squadron identification, which has been ordered from Callie. Doing the 357th FS Dragons out of Davis-Monthan. Maybe later I will repaint in Euro Green, but I want to get this baby in the air!

                      Pics and video later tonight.

                              • I just got back from training night at my club field. I managed to squeeze in 2 flights on my A-10 in between students. I made a few tweaks to the elevator-flap mix and I am now super happy. I managed to salvage a bounce due to the winds and settle back on the mains for a perfect landing. The last landing of the night was so good. I plan to move my Shockwave2 from Model Sounds over from my HSD F-16 because I will fly my A-10 from my club field more. My son came out to see the A-10 as he grew up with my flying Nitro powered ducted fan back in the day. He was very impressed with the A-10 as were the other club members.

                                • Three very successful flights, but sadly only two great landings. Not to worry, just bounced it on the third landing when I came in a little hot. Some slight damage to the nose gear, but I'm hoping it's something I can fix without having to buy a new one.

                                  I have to say I am totally in love with this bird! She's flies absolutely perfectly, and really looks the part in the air! I flew all flights with the full ordnance load, and she didn't even think twice about it. Hopefully I can get the nose gear fixed tonight or tomorrow so I can get more flights in this weekend.

                                  Video will be processed soon, but in the meantime here's some pics.

                                  • Congrats Pat! Sounds like an overall success.

                                    • So I just watched the videos, and forgot I actually did go around after the bounced landing attempt and made another good landing, so 3 good landings in all. Videos will be posted tomorrow morning.
