Nice fix there Mudduck! Happened to mine the first transport. Definitely going to go this route.

I don't see your post twice by the way

Very funny James, I see what you did there!!

[Dirty Dee]

themudduck or anyone else for that matter, would you mind taking a measurement of the width and height of that pull-up bar antenna? I'll make a 3d printable STL and share on thingiverse for spares/repair. I'd measure mine but it's out in a field somewhere

[crxmanpat]

68mm wide
Mounting base is 2mm thick, 6mm deep into the foam
Antenna is 1.5mm thick
Antenna height from base is 12mm

[Dirty Dee]

And here is the STL for anyone needing this replacement

I'm hoping to make the pylons over the winter, as I messed mine up on a bronco landing.

Looking for 3D print files for FW 80mm A10.

This may sound stupid BUT does the ESC plug into the battery port on the receiver?

Yes, or you can "Y" it to any other port. Bind first and plug the ESC lead into any of the other ports. Once bound, put it in the bind port and use the others as normal.

Am I missing something Xviper? This sounds like the way I would plug in a UBEC, but isn't your ESC your throttle connection and therefore need to be plugged in to your throttle port only?

Maybe I misunderstood him. Are you talking about the leads that comes from the ESCs directly or are you talking about the external BEC that is spliced into the battery power line? If it comes directly from the ESC, then that's the throttle lead and goes into the throttle channel. There should be one from each ESC that's "Y'd" together . That's how you control the throttle of both motors. When he said "battery port" on the RX, that gets the lead from the external BEC that's spliced into the battery lead of one of the ESCs.

KF, If you will go to cults3D.com; DirtyDee has his FW A-10 Collection there. Best, LB

[Dustman]

DD has a whole host of parts listed on RC Group also; https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...it-Upgrade-Kit

Here is a link to a flightvideo from today with the A-10 with and without ordnance! How do you all fly? With or without???

I mix it up!!! Great jet!!! Thanks for the video! Glad you are on board here at Hobby Squawk! Jerry from Texas!

I fly with since I'm landing on an "aircraft carrier" I don't have a lot of excess runway and therefore need the drag to slow me down.

JW, I fly my A-10 with all the stock OEM ordinance. I hope to print DirtyDee's 3DP parts for this over the summer as I did for my Phantom. Best, LB

[Hardway]

Dirty Dee's ordnance is just fantastic... They are all like plastic model kits worthy of display on your shelf, and just make a world of difference in the aircraft's scale appearance.... Shout out to Dirty Dee Jerry Thanks Bro!!!

[Aros]

Sweet! I always fly my A-10 dirty.

An A-10 naked just isn't an A-10.

Unless its a demo/airshow flight!!!!! I have no problem slowing this down as i have my ailerons as spoilers and with full flaps and "foe speed brakes" i have to have 3/4 power to just keep it up.

I dunno. IMO, as long as the GAU-8 is up front, the Hog is always covered up. .All that other high tech, pointy nose stuff is really just lipstick for the pig. Ha ha.

Cheers.
