Official Freewing Twin 80mm/90mm A-10 Thunderbolt II Thread

It was sooooo awesome to be there and meet Michael, Kelly, Carlos, George, etc. and see this unfold. It made my day getting Kelly's autograph on my A-10 wing (my phone died so Kelly was kind enough to let me use his to get pictures of it). Thanks for the vid George! My daughters kept going on about how epic the Nall was and even though I was only able to be there the one day I would still have to agree. Thanks for making it epic guys!

It's always great to see you and the kids Steve, I have to echo how awesome this A-10 is, very tough built plane that should be able to take a lot of abuse.

Wow congrats mate. Enjoy!!! Well done motion.

This is what the hobby is all about. Kudos to all involved! :Cool:

[Aros]

It was a true pleasure and honor for us. Kelly, enjoy the heck out of her, we know you will!

[zorkahn]

What more can you say about MotionRC? It gave me chills watching the video and how MotionRC honored Kelly. It is always awesome when our veterans are honored. Kelly, it is an honor to have a real Hawg driver among us! There are two of us in my club patiently awaiting the arrival of our Hawgs!

Ok guys, here is the latest color scheme coming out of the Michigan's 107th FS for the 100th Anniversary or Centennial of Selfridge ANG Base. The full size B1RD will be painted this way and so will my FW when it gets here.

[Aros]

That's sweet! Looking forward to see yours in that livery!

Cool color scheme. I take it the General's plane will be painted this way not the whole squadron?

I am sure you are correct in that statement. Any other takers for this scheme?

That scheme looks awsome. If Callie will make it I think I would order it. Are the upper surfaces OD or darker gray?

Motion RC, great move for Kelly. That's what it's about Vets and hobbyists for Vets and hobbyists.

Wow that is awesome! Motion ,you guys rock! Kelly, you rock! thankyou sir!

[T-CAT]

Absolutely awesome!! Congratulations!! It's excellent seeing things like this, and I love this hobby even more because of it.

Olive drab, but looks much better than previous schemes I have seen. Upper skin OD, belly is grey. My phone won't do a docx file so I had to do a screen shot.

[RCjetdude]

It is a wicked cool looking paint scheme for sure. :Cool:

[TSHobbies]

Gonna have to order the Hog Guide ,hopefully I can get it about the same time my plane arrives ;)

[ColtPilot]

Ok the bottom and top paint job from what the full size A-10 would look like. Remember this is a first time approved scheme from the Michigan Air National Guard.

I was priveledged to witness this today. MRC gave Kelly (legman01) the A-10 as a thank you for his service as a former hawg driver and support. He then flew it in formation with Rich and the FMS A-10. It was a beautiful sight. I took one of my freshly painted wings and got Kelly's autograph on it. It was really great meeting fellow Squawkers and getting to see both A-10's fly for the first time. Kelly was very appreciative and said he was nervous but did a spectacular job of flying. It was an all around awesome day at the Nall. The only problem was that my phone battery decided to die on me so I couldn't get any pictures.

Job well done. As a Veteran, that was a great gesture. I am doing the same here in Michigan, but the pilot doesn't know it yet. He does fly RC also and just made Captain.

Hey Tim, That's going to be a SWEET Hawg, when she's done. One thing did catch my EYES....Top/bottom orientation looks very similar. Could be tough to tell difference ?

That's why I always fly in close.
