    Yeah, years ago I got this book with the names and places and details of every Air Museum around the world so whenever we travel, inside or outside the U.S., I check to see if there are any cool museums in the area. Since my wife and uncle wanted to take the train up to Cambridge from London, I took the opertunity and left them on the bridge over the Cam River (hence the name Cambridge) and took a short bus ride to Duxford for the day. We're even, I missed the Eagle Tavern and the pint..... Brad

            They are indeed waterslide. Had a good chuckle picturing you trying to peel those chunky buggers off. Cheers mate:Cool:

              Are they all water slide or are they like the A-10, some water slide, some peel and stick?

                      "Just a harmless squirrel.....not any plastic explosives or anything." Also, I keep a couple of five gallon buckets of sand around for filling holes. After one season the grass grows right through it. The big hump at the end of the runway might take a little more workLOLNever seen a banked turn while taxiing before. Brad

                          Hey tired iron thanks for the pics I started to copy your idea but noticed when the retract is up u would need to grind off a lot of metal to make it fit nice did u grind down the forward facing part of the retract? Open the whole for the pin or does the retract just stop once it senses resestiance ?

                            It stops, but there's no resistance.

Fuse broke on half and she sustained other damage and is under repair right now. One of the biggest issues was some brush took out one of the 80mm fans. Just wondering if anyone has an extra fan or perhaps the remains of their encounter with gravity. Thanks!

                                  Centerline drop tank is on it's way. Pylon held in place with earth magnets to the tank. I also placed a plastic coupling piece for the fuse connection which are from MRC. I bought extras just in case.

                                      This is the correct load out as told to me by an A-10 pilot at Selfridge ANG for the weapons I have.

                                        Last question hopefully, where's the white stripe one go? Cheers

                                          I never figured that one out completely. It might go on the rocket pod but I ended up not even using it.
