      I know you guys will appreciate this one
      Exactly...A-10 nose canon. They require a ungodly about of maintenance, but are cool. I wish they'd mount these on tanks and rgs Holy hell the firepower on that

                          SWEET! That represents a lot of work right there. Encouraging to see this. Still hoping for late May in time for Jet Jam and NEFI.

                              Hi Gang! I'm new to the site, and I have to say, I'm impressed by what I have read about the development that went into this A-10! I have a Stinger 90...have had it for 2 years with 94 flights and it has been great! If Freewing/Motion RC does the same with this, it will be amazing!

                              I have looked and couldn't find any discussion around flight times. Any estimate for a pair of Admiral 5000's?

                                  You haven't been flying it often enough. ;) When I sold my Stinger 90 to make room the Mig 21. It was about the same age as yours but was just 3 flights short of the 200 mark.

                                    How do you keep track of that? I lose count after about 30 flights.

                                      I keep a flight log...that way I can make notes of when I replaced parts, got new batteries, etc. Besides, I just like to be able to say how many hours I have! I even track my simulator time.

                                          I keep a running tally in my blog(s) on RC Groups. My original 70 mm Yak 130 is closing in on the 300 mark.
