Missed that one Brad...bummer! But we did go to the Eagle Tavern where all the air crews burned their tail numbers on the ceiling with their cigarette lighters! Now it is a museum of photos of reunions and testimonies...and of course a pint of ale! Rob

Yeah, years ago I got this book with the names and places and details of every Air Museum around the world so whenever we travel, inside or outside the U.S., I check to see if there are any cool museums in the area. Since my wife and uncle wanted to take the train up to Cambridge from London, I took the opertunity and left them on the bridge over the Cam River (hence the name Cambridge) and took a short bus ride to Duxford for the day. We're even, I missed the Eagle Tavern and the pint..... Brad

They are indeed waterslide. Had a good chuckle picturing you trying to peel those chunky buggers off. Cheers mate:Cool:

Are they all water slide or are they like the A-10, some water slide, some peel and stick?

Xviper,
Remember Caddy Shack ? Sounds like you need a Bill Murray plan. C4 would work well.

"Just a harmless squirrel.....not any plastic explosives or anything." Also, I keep a couple of five gallon buckets of sand around for filling holes. After one season the grass grows right through it. The big hump at the end of the runway might take a little more workLOLNever seen a banked turn while taxiing before. Brad

Hey tired iron thanks for the pics I started to copy your idea but noticed when the retract is up u would need to grind off a lot of metal to make it fit nice did u grind down the forward facing part of the retract? Open the whole for the pin or does the retract just stop once it senses resestiance ?

It stops, but there's no resistance.

Ok after a few perfect flights and landings with this ship, I had a power failure of some sort and did not make it over a hill. Fuse broke on half and she sustained other damage and is under repair right now. One of the biggest issues was some brush took out one of the 80mm fans. Just wondering if anyone has an extra fan or perhaps the remains of their encounter with gravity. Thanks!

Dang dude, sorry to hear this.

Centerline drop tank is on it's way. Pylon held in place with earth magnets to the tank. I also placed a plastic coupling piece for the fuse connection which are from MRC. I bought extras just in case.

[Shirty]

Hey fellas, anyone got a pic handy of their ordinance with the stickers on it? Thanks!!! ;)

[ColtPilot]

This is the correct load out as told to me by an A-10 pilot at Selfridge ANG for the weapons I have.

[Shirty]

Very cool.

Last question hopefully, where's the white stripe one go? Cheers

[RCjetdude]

I never figured that one out completely. It might go on the rocket pod but I ended up not even using it.
