Hey guys, just checking in.....it's been awhile but really had nothing to report until I got enough feeling back in my left thumb and forefinger to chance maidening the new A-10. Sooooooo I finally did it yesterday and got one more subsequent flight in before dark..........WOOHOO!!!!:Cool: This one has the upgraded mains and stock nose gear and I am here to tell you that ,for my field conditions,(short grass and hard ground) this is the hot ticket. No more bouncing problems even though I came down a little harder than I wanted. I mistakenly had my timer set to beep at 20% throttle which actually shuts the motors down. Had to reset to 36% to have the right throttle setting for landing for some reason:Thinking:. Anyway I got it reset while the batteries were still plugged in so it will be ready the next time I fly. Still getting used to the new IX 12. :Confused:

I replaced the nose retract on mine as the play was getting large and it recently failed after perhaps 10 flights (fortunately in the down position). I contacted our friends at Motion yesterday with these accompanying photos and just arrived home to a shipping notice and note that a replacement was being sent out
These guys continue to impress me in most every way and I thought this should be shared. The first photo is the bad one, the part of the circuit board angled up and getting brushed by the screw mechanism. Second pic is of a good one.

Looking good, John2kx, dirt don't hurt! I like a well weathered 'hog!
The factory beater here has seen better days but it's still flying strong. It's above 400 flights on our lifespan test regimen. Most times we kill them at 300 but this one is special. It's now serving as a testbed for various products and accessories in development.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

http://youtube.comPfiDORnQeolO.K. Just some video of a hard landing last week which shows how well the upgraded mains work for minimizing bounce. Not proud of the landing or takeoff for that matter but I think it illustrates how well these upgrades work on hard ground and short grass. Sorry, guess I can't figure out how to post the video properly.:Thinking:
