I made a discovery this evening. Finally extended the nose gear in my ARF + to add some diff grease to the suspension and found a couple of differences from my first batch plug n fly.
1st discovery was when the gear didn't quite make it to the 90 degree mark coming down. It appears the factory must be incorporating some of the mods made by us beta testers and the metal plate has a longer center section. (gonna have to do a little fitting work on that one but some light filing beats making a whole new plate because it was too short)
The other is that the forward gear door stays down when the gear is down so they must have been listening and changed the programming on the sequencer too.

This sounds great that Motion is getting these ideas back to Freewing to incorparate in the next runs. Now what do we need to do for use earlier batch owners to get the fixes for our birds? The gear plate is nice but im more interested in the nose door fix. Can we trade our boards in for newer V2 ones? What ya say Motion, what can we work out in getting some of these factory changes for our planes?

I'm not sure if anyone else is having a problem with their flaps being misaligned, but my right flaps (inside and outside) deploy per the manual (low: 32 mm & high: 50 mm); however, my left flaps (inside and outside) deploy at low: 25 mm and high: 43 mm. I checked the control arms and they are at the same angle when in the up position and the push rods are all in the recommended holes on the control arms and horns. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I had 12 great flights on my A-10 yesterday, while taxiing during one of the flights I got into some really tall grass and powered my way out of it. That was a dumb thing to do.
The forces were enough to rip off the fronts of the two missiles and the rack that holds them. This was totally my fault. I didn't take a picture of the damage but I think if I cut them square (where they broke) and find something that if the correct shape I can glue it on and paint it.
Of course is someone has these components they are not using I'd be happy to buy them from you.
The attached picture with the black arrows shows the damaged areas.1 Photo
