Also, to follow up on those asking if the forward nose door can stay open while the nose gear is deployed, here's something we've worked on at the factory that will allow that functionality. To be clear, if your A-10 door currently closes with the nose gear deployed, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS MOD. I'm still testing it to verify that it really is as simple as soldering a jumper wire between these two points, and doesn't require a re-flash of the board itself. If and when I verify it's that simple, then I'll post it here and the handful of us who want that functionality can decide if they want to attempt the soldering job. Even then, attempting this mod will void the board's warranty. I'm more so showing it just to demonstrate another example of us trying to incorporate customer feedback into our aircraft. We can't always chase down the rabbit hole on every request, but we do try to tackle a fair amount of them.
I hope you're enjoying my little bird, everyone! :D

Here is my second flight. Had my camera man standing by me for the first in case of any issues. None whatsoever. A few clicks of up and left trim and she was hands off at half throttle in no time. This landing was a little hotter as my headwind died, but aside from a small nose gear hop, it was pretty smooth. First landing was a total greaser with the slight headwind I had. Used half flaps for both landings and none on takeoff.

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 :-)

Hey guys, I've been lurking here for quite a while but never contribute. I've posted this video in the other forum and really wanted to share it with everyone because I think I've got a few pretty good ideas for adding functional photo electric formation strips and canopy RCS coatings. I hope some of you enjoy these ideas, I know I've sure picked up a lot of good info from all of you and just wanted to take the opportunity to say thanks!

Managed to get an evening maiden flight and a follow up flight yesterday.
It was nearly a very short flight as I flew near the setting sun and needed to trim left a little, ended up coming out of the sun rolling over and looping getting close to the ground :Scared:
After sorting the trimming it was a very relaxed flight. I landed with half flaps and settled in lovely. Second flight I landed with full flaps and it did bounce a little, three small hops. I think you've got to be very smooth on the mains touch down to get the real nice greasers.
Great plane, everybody was impressed at the club especially with it non foam like appearance.
An absolute winner indeed :Cool:
oh and the fans sound even better first hand, rather than through a video :a10
