I'm just going with a std cradle and (2) 76cm wing bags from HK. That way I think I can load more planes in the back of the Explorer.

Would be sweet to incorporate the white foam shipping box in the design . The wing cavity half
looks promising. Recycling at its best !
Also...those bags of microfiber towels have come
Way down in price. Am thinking box liner here.
Maybe wings in lower half. PVC posts coming out of corners. Card board bottom underside of foam
box. Fuse sits in PVC cradle on top ?
Hot glue time.

So, my 5000mah batteries wouldn't allow the canopy to shut properly and had to trim quite a bit off the bottom, removed the magnets, etc. You have to love foam for this reason, easy customization. I had to fix my pilot figure and the way it sits to make room for the batteries, but it actually turned out to be a good thing as it allowed me to move it further back against the seat and at a little better height.

For those wanting to know how to apply the decals on the ordnance, I offer this guide.
The short yellow and red stripes go on the Sidewinders.
The fat yellow stripes go on the nose of the Mark 84s.
The long yellow and red stripes go on the Mavericks.
The blue one goes on the nose of the sniper pod.
I'm going to be pretty busy tonight and this weekend, but will be working on additional decals for the AN/ALQ and Mavericks soon.1 PhotoPat

As you can see in the pics, it's clearly not perfect, but still a success that I actually got it to lay relatively nicely on the first shot. I'm happy enough with it, although of course I would like to reapply it, just to get it flawless. I can't believe I would actually go through that decal application again LOL:Scared::Silly:.

In anticipation of getting the A-10 I knew I was going to need some space (I envy you guys with the awesome man caves!) so I made this wing rack for my Trojan and the Hog. It's standard PVC and some foam loosely held in place with zip ties (so the foam can adjust to the wing). I can easily add to it if I need to. The wall was the only real estate I had left! The fuse will go in the 3rd Robart stand on the table. Rob3 Photos

Here is a video from Wednesday of my 3rd flight. Unfortunately the low passes weren't in focus. :-( At least the take-off and landing are there :-) Since there are not that many videos showing the A-10 from grass, I think that it's still worthwhile. Both landing and take-off were at half-flaps. Charging the batteries up for tomorrow morning :-)
