    No offense here. If the A-10 might be used in a current conflict, this is absolutely the place to post that news.

      Agreed. We'll keep political debate out of the conversation but as it relates to the A-10 specifically, have at it.

        Not sure I understand? Brad are you CIA? or ODNI? NSA? You seen this on a national news channel for crap sake! So it's pubic knowledge. Why can't this be brought up" Here"? The discussion so far is just excited chatter about the A 10. Real World stories are relevant in my book. OK, I'm off my box. Carry on!

          Hey Aros, thanks for clearing that up, I was a little confused by the one comment by t33jetman. I just figured since the A-10 is still in the current inventory, that it was relevant to bring up. Anything political never entered my mind:wacky Learned not to go there a long time ago. And to answer Clearblue, no I'm not CIA or ODNI or NSA. Never been confused with anyone even remotely intelligentLOL Brad

                I found an awesome A-10 Meme, but it has a verbal nasty in it. Haha

                So, it goes unposted.

                  Could have fooled me Brad! I've read several of your post's. Compared to what I've seen in DC over the years, You my good friend are over qualified.

                  T Cat, PM me that would ya? I'm not easily offended. :)

                      From what's been said so far, those should work just fine. Alpha and Tony have posted that it works great with 4000 to 6000 packs. I'll be using Graphene 5000s and Roaring Top 5800s in mine. But I may do some flights with Graphene 4000s to see if it helps lighten it up a bit.

                        Thanks, I know it was posted they used them but with all the talk about how power hungry this plane might be I am just worries the little 4000 Admiral will puff up !

                          The other forum battery thread lol...my goodness. Bob, rest assured that Alpha won't design a plane around our batteries if they weren't up to the task.
