My A10 is 3 yrs old, it's my workhorse jet at the field, my only issue is the wing screw holes have worn out as I always remove wing for transpo and storage. As a temporary workaround I had to CA glue the 1 hole, and use a larger thread screw, I do not need to purchase another wing, but I also do not want to crash my workhorse from the wing popping off either. Any suggestions?
Never had a gear issue, as I'm a pretty advance pilot, she floats right in with no flaps needed (I've never installed them).
As the 64mm A10 comes in on final approach, I slightly pull the nose up to bleed off speed and gently touch down. Try not to land her on nose gear, or too fast, I see a lot of newer EDF pilots land so fast, it always breaks something, even with flaps.
For the cockpit I just hand paint the knobs and switched out the pilot, and added a yoke stick as per the scale pit. No weight added, looks great, I even did panel lines and Minwaxed the whole aircraft, and she looks fantastic.
The 64mm A10 can knife edge beautifully also, don't be afraid to try.
I absolutely love this jet, the updated fans sound fantastic with a natural whistle, just needs an update for wing screws.Comment

With balsa models, we just fill the offending hole with wood. A hardwood dowel works best, but in a foam plane maybe balsa would be fine? Glue the wood in place, mark where you need the screw hole & drill. Tap the hole with the screw you want to use, then apply a couple of drops of thin CA in the hole to harden the wood threads. Once that CA dries, you're good to go.Comment
