Wow got another set of batteries for the A-10 to do three flights without charging. Got four flights in this afternoon before dark(4:15pm here) and I'm finally getting comfortable with this plane. It's been a real struggle because I'm a prop guy and completely inexperienced with edfs. I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!!!:Cool::Cool:

FW A-10 opening canopy mod. It actually opens another inch or so but the rear hinge must be binding a bit- I'll have to tweak it.

Wow Tom, that is awesome! I can just see that canopy opening up as your taxiing back to the pits after another sortie. I wonder if you would consider making another or at least the basic mechanism part. I never got anywhere with mine and what I was going to do was with the old LX A-10 mechanism which doesn't work anywhere near as realistic as yours. You should patent that thing.

Get some of those clear half domes and and finish your pod off.

I am old school flyer, coming back to fixed wings after many years, flying drones for the last 6 years. I want ask you guys which radio should I use for the A-10 (I probably will need some help programing), I have 3 Radios available for it, Futaba T10J with a R3008SB (SBUS) RX, a FRSKY Taranis X9D with a X8R TX and a Spektrum DX6i...I have AR610 6Ch TX or I can buy a more suitable for the A-10.
Still have too many pages here to go, I guess will be a winter project
Thanks for any help

I realized this morning that the plastic spacer that is glued to the aft nose gear door, the part that rides up and down the nose gear strut, had fallen off. Luckily I found it before flying and taped a block of foam to the door temporarily so I could fly. Unfortunately the manufacturer had simply glued this piece to the painted door part, no strength there. I'll fabricate something rather than order a new door assembly.
But I also noticed that the nose gear has a lot of fore and aft play in the extended position, approximately 10mm. Is this normal? The gear is working fine so I don't know whether to be concerned or not... Thanks!
