Hi Brad- have you got a link for that assembly? Good place to start for sure.

This Hog eats grass for breakfast. This aircraft is easily the most capable foam electric jet in our entire lineup, and possibly on the market, period. I just posted photos of the final production wheels for the Freewing 80mm A-10. Search "#motionrc" to see it and other photos we'll be uploading soon from our friends around the globe.

Can we get them posted here for those of us that aren't (refuse to be) part of that Twitter & Facebook stuff

Hey Tom, I haven't got the link but I just ordered one myself. Go to Banana Hobbies on line and then to LX A-10, it's a 60" wingspan plane. I just got the canopy motor assembly which was $18 U.S. It comes with the controller as well. Brad P.S. You might want to get the whole assembly so you can see how it works ? The part I got was BHLXA10-35

[downwindleg]

It's not an illusion, these are big wheels. The other twin 80mm jet from Freewing, the F-14, uses main wheels about the size as most of our 90mm jets. Alongside it is the A-10's main wheel, which is twice as tall as the F-14's lowest ground clearance (ventral fins). The A-10's main wheel is also an inch wide.

Note the scale design of the A-10's hubs themselves.

A-10, the "A" must stand for "All Terrain"...I can't wait to get one of these on my field.

[xviper]

Man, those are like "Tundra" tires. Love 'em.

Hahahahahaha! Now that cracks me up. It almost looks like a photoshopped pic of sorts. I love it!

[Aros]

Yeah didn't ya'll know A-10's double-dutied as Bush Planes in Alaska? ;)

[T-CAT]

It's like a delicious donut. I should head to Krispy Kreme right now to ask for a custom donut iced to match that beastly wheel. That'll get me in the game before the jet arrives. Get in maaaaaa bellllllaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!

I couldn't resist posting a quick teaser showing the Freewing 80mm A-10 taxiing through 5"-6" tall grass. Keep in mind, for a sense of scale, my Hitec radio can fit UNDER the main wing of this aircraft. yet the grass is about that tall in places. Of course no responsible pilot would try to fly off of grass like this, but it shows that ground clearance and grass resistance are things pilots of this aircraft will not have to worry about on their grass runways suitable for any foam EDF.

[Aros]

That. Is. Awesome!!

[Pheonix]

I am ready for the Freewing A-10 and not the FMS version that is out now. Too many issues with FMS quality recently.

[Cack82]

I agree on the quality being poor on FMS models my A-10 s fuselage would twist every time I gave it elevator. I will Never buy that brand again.

Found it Brad, thanks, have it bookmarked. What's the problem with yours- the mechanism, motor or...?

My experience with the LX canopy on the A-10 was that over time slop in the system made it more trouble than it was worth and I just left the canopy closed.
