T-CAT , One of the things I was surprised with using Orocal #651 Black on my various laminations was the effect or lack of effect the sun has on the vinyl. Compared to a pained surface the vinyl shows no ill effects of heat/sun damage. Likely the 2 mil thick skin offers enough protection to the foam. Just a suggestion but I now wrap all my foamies in Orocal 651 or 751 from US Cutter, It maintains that "new" finish and sheen indefinitely. Chris

Not sure if is normal, but while working with the A-10 here on the bench, I noticed that the stock 8a ubec gets pretty warm. Is this normal? The clear heat shrink gets warm and soft. This is my first time having a bec in a plane and just want to make sure if it's normal. Plugged into new Specktrum AR8010T - Aux. I did purchase a ZTW 10 amp ubec as a spare that was listed in A-10 spare parts and will change out if needed. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks all

Reading all the posts about how easy this plane is to fly, couldnt wait anymore. 10mph crosswinds was no issue for this thing. Glad i finally got to maiden it. Only problem was pilot error on my part. Forgot to switch to hi rates on take off and just about turned it into a weed wacker. Issue adverted, and after the trim out laps, flew like a champ. Got to dial in the expos to suit my style, but that will come with additional flights.
On to the landing...reading about the death bounce had me more nervous then the actual take off and flight. But this thing floated right in. Little throttle control was all it took. Thanks to everyone that has shared their stories. You all were able to help me get back into a sport I have had a passion with since I was young. First EDF, and I have to say, what a great first.
