Work in progress. Just finished painting the fuse. Darn tape pulled some paint off. Will have to get some touch up gray.

Very nice! Looks like a clean paint job and should be better for orientation too.

I noticed the APU exhaust ports didn't come with a decal to cover up the gray, but the outline in the foam mold is there on the aircraft. I have a small label maker, so I printed some circles to stick on to the area. I could have painted it, but figured this would take less time and it did, ha-ha. I also printed out the star for the left wing main gear pod on the front tip. The star I used is already cut out, but I made a lot in different sizes to test out, which one I liked more, and was more appropriate for scale proportions.

It's great seeing all the pictures and video of everyone's flights. There's a lot of amazing paints job people are accomplishing on this jet.

I even tried mine out of the plane sitting flat on the table with just a single servo in it and it still didn't work.

There must be some sort of trick to this receiver? Will reach out to HH again.

[Sky Wolf]

A friend of mine flies his with this receiver and no problems at all

Then your "friend" must inow the secret. Can you ask your "friend"if f he knows what the problem might be.

Work in progress. Just finished painting the fuse. Darn tape pulled some paint off. Will have to get some touch up gray.

My trick for pulling the tape off, is to use a heat gun set on low and warm the tape as I pull it off at 180 degrees direction , making sure not to be too close or too long on one spot.
When I'm done painting my A-10 I will show you the results.

If anyone needs to touch-up the top (bluish) paint on the FW A-10, may I suggest Tamiya XF-19 Sky Gray, XF-8 Flat Blue and XF-2 Flat White. Will take a little experimentation. Only use a very, very tiny amount of blue and lighten with white to match what YOUR eye sees.

A little more work on the cockpit. I know the scratch built ejection seat is a little too wide. Almost Lazy Boy recliner size, but good enough for me. Mainly, I just wanted a moving pilot head..

For the guys that are using the nerf whistles, are you using 4 (2 in each pod) or 2 whistles (1 set in 1 pod)?
