      Yes! Posted on RCG as well about this. I just sent some sounds files to Paul and he forwarded them on to Andrew in case they can be helpful in any way. GE TF-34 start up, throttle up and take off, in flight, fly by, shut down and various GAU-8 firing sounds. Maybe they will help.

        Can we leave the power system overpowered and let the sea level people learn to use their throttle so we at 5000' can get a PNP EDF that is not marginal at best out of the box?

          Wouldn't you say that if the model does perform like crap at high altitude then it would only be conforming to its intended design as 'super scale'? ;)

                  Definitely interested in the sounds

                      The included decal sheet features markings from Indiana's 163rd Fighter Squadron "Blacksnakes", Louisiana's 47th Fighter Squadron "Termites", and the 23rd Fighter Group "Flying Tigers" stationed in Georgia.

                        That Blacksnake is wicked! Three nice choices. Just picked up the little brother twin 64 12 blade, love it. Anyone have a photo of where you put the receiver? Sidewall of fuse? On hatch cover? Glad I have a featherlight Lemon RX for this one. Mighty tight in there with a real short batt strap for a 3000 to 4000 4s. Might have to invert and attach to top of fuse? Thanks for any suggestions :cool:

                          Yeah, the Blacksnakes nose art has really grown on me. I had the privilege of speaking with a Blacksnakes pilot at Oshkosh. He was very eager to walk me around his aircraft to point out certain aspects of the Hog that stood out to him. It's always nice to put your hands on these aircraft up close and personal.

                              Another huge YES for a sound module. Usually I don't add one because of the weight, but I'm not concerned with that on this aircraft, let alone an aircraft of this size since the weight added isn't astronomical.

                              Also, I'm in love with the Blacksnakes nose art, and think it looks the best out of the three.

Two to four of the 163rd a-10s fly over my work on avg once a week and i catch them on weekends at my home once a month or so. At work they tolerate me running outside to watch them. I do have to face some ribbing about "wood" if you get my gist. Somtimes they will say "hi" to the army helicopter base across the highway.

                                          That's awesome! I'm from Muncie but now live in South Bend. I would be flying at the AMA Headquarters and those guys would fly over low enough I got out of the way, lol. Awesome to watch. I still see them over the bend sometimes.

                                          Hey Rob. Do I even need to ask which scheme you are going to choose.
