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

What I think would be really cool would be a big party with MRC and the gathering of the A-10's. One in the West, Midwest and one in the East. Can you imagine these A-10's in one spot. What a site it would be with all the different graphics and lined up on the runway for an awesome photo shoot.

And the south...

Cool job, looks great! (I am only about 30% through the decal job after two nights, only 2613 to go)... So are you inside an aviation museum or something? I see an A-26, a P-51, a J3 Cub, a P-47, a B-17 parked, two more B-17's up in the air, two Corsairs, a jet, and a few others I can't quite make out.... and that is only from one camera angle. Lets see the rest of the room! Booyah!

Here you go...

Sweet. You going to the EDF Jet Jam?

Nope, can't make it....I was going to go to it and NEFI with RCJetDude but I have to go to a wedding.

Got all 7,841 decals on (added some extra decals to the ord just to spruce them up a bit)...also added a canopy pull in place of the nub antenna.

I wondered what the decal sheet that had colored bands was for, now I know - ordinance!

Man, all these water slide decals are a pain on painted foam. Even after spraying windex on the surface they do not want to slide around. Hope all you modders are happy with the pain you've created for us mortals ;)

Minus the maiden flight. Here's a highlight video of flights yesterday with the A-10.

Good job Lon!

And the south...

Of course can't forget about the South and the neighbors to the North in Canada eh.

Very nice. Nice field too.

I notice Mr. Brown has been silent, I'm thinking he's whipping up an A-10 the likes of which we have not seen before. (As well as getting the Rolling Hangar ready for Nefi !) It'll be interesting to see what the Mad Modder does to his!
One of the main reasons I check out this thread religiously even though I don't have one in the works. All you guys are amazing !!

Some amazing fields you guys have available! Wow :Drooling:

[Pete Lane]

Ok. Who dares to mod the jet so one fan or the other
can be turned off at will and then back on to see how see handles it ?

Well I just did something dumb. My A-10 arrived today along with my Callie Graphics and I just realized that I had ordered them in 1/12 scale. This was after looking at the box and seeing the 1/10 scale writing on the box. When comparing them with the ones in the kit, a slight difference is noticeable. So back to the internet and order up a new set. Dumb me for not asking earlier. The only saving grace is that we are getting massive rain storms down here in South Florida and even if I get it done tonight, most likely it's a washout for the next few days. Well live and learn. So I'll have the livery from the kit and some 1/12 livery also left over. For those that are struggling with the water slide decals, the ones from Callie are worth it. I used them on my Flightline Tigercat and it was easy.

Mine got as far as Singapore, then the tracking changed and it's being held "for clearing agency review", whatever that means. Hopefully it's just a Singapore customs thing and gets back on its way soon.

Hopefully it's standard procedure.
Your Hog is going to have a lot of miles on it by the time you receive it. 2 trips across the pond.
It will be well worth the voyage:Cool:

Anyone have a picture of the so called "correct elevator position" called out in the manual? Maybe a measurement up from the bottom of the rudder or something.

I found it was easy to put them on. I used the rtp of my xacto knife to move them around. Worked like a charm for me.

Lol, I think mine has more air miles than anyone else's, and I haven't even flown it yet. :)
