Ron, that grass that your V1 is on looks very similar to our grass runway.

Ron, I just noticed that you're a retired ATC. Our club president is also a retired ATC and has some great pilot and airplane stories to tell. I bet you do, too. :-)FLRC P-38L, Spit IX, F4U-1, Ta-152H; FW A-10, Me-262, F-86, T-33, Mosquito, FW-190A, MiG-15, P.15; H9 Bf-109F-2;Seagull Bf-109E, CL1G; Phoenix A-26; BH Do-335, He-111; VQ Ju-52; EFlite Hurricane 25e, FW-190A;Avios MiG-17; DF Spit Vb, Bf-109E4; FMS 1.7m P-51D, F7F, A6M5; VQ Do-52; EH P-51D; HK B-17, Bf-110

I just caught up on this thread, and wanted to give a true novice input on the FW A-10. I moved from the Apprentice to the HH F4U (easy transition). Saw the FW A-10 and knew that had to be my next plane. I maidened the A-10 very successfully, and followed up with another successful flight and landing before it got too dark! I did install and used the flaps for takeoff and landing. I'm using the Admiral 4S 3600 with a 3 minute timer (which went by way too fast).
What would be a safe, expected flight time with this battery?
Great flier (on a DX9), however the aileron roll rate scared the crud out of me the first flight! I was most worried about the landing speed, but with full flaps was not an issue at all.

It is one of my fave planes now!! Here is a video from this past weekend...

I am new to the discussion group. Thank you to all of those who helped me make the decision to purchase the Freewing A-10 64cm. I have read this entire thread and found a lot of valuable information. Just ordered her this morning and can't wait to begin my adventure into EDF planes. I am an intermediate pilot and have most recently been been flying a Warbird. I know most of you have probably ordered the larger version, but I will still share my experiences as they happen. I ordered 4S-40C-4000 batteries as I did not have any four cells yet. (My P-47 is flown on three) Also ordered a scale pilot and will add the flaps (although it sounds like they are not needed) Thanks, Brian

Welcome to Hobby Squawk, Airliner Fan!
I strongly recommend flying your A-10 a few times stock to get used to its flying characteristics before deciding if you still want to install flaps. I'm one of the pilots who installed flaps and frankly didn't notice much of a benefit. Because this is your first EDF Jet, that's all the more reason to fly it stock before executing any modifications. Just my three cents ;)
Felixs10, I didn't use any flap-to-to elevator mix.

She is together and appears to be balanced. Made some minor paint changes, but nothing too drastic. Did a taxi test and things looked good. The engines are nice and loud. I was setting up my high and low rates. Went with 100% on high with 40% expo and 70% on low with 30% expo. QUESTION: There seems to be more than the recommended travel from the instructions. (Example:elevator at 4mm and 8mm) I am getting more like 8mm and 12mm....Should I lower my percentages to match the instructions or go with what looks right?
Thanks, Brian1 Photo
