Can anybody send me a copy or a PDF file of the decal placement sheet for my A-10 I would appreciate it

Excellent!

The middle one is a pipe.

Yep, I knew that, but I'm not as ambitious as you. But at least it's in the right spot.

Jetman, what was the size of the pipe you used for the fuel dump?

You wont like this , but I just took a round brass tube and flattened to shape it to an oval by eye balling it to size with the antenna , the cut it on the bandsaw.

Crap, great idea on using a credit card as I just cut one up to throw away. I guess I could cut up another, it would make the wife happy

Yep, it's the fuel dump

I did mine in .06"/1.5mm Styrene.

Thank you, I never would have thought of that.

t33jetman or anyone else that might know. I want to redo the antennas with styrene that might be a little thicker. What thickness is advisable to use?

I use credit cards for my antennas and a small brass pipe for my exhaust.

t33jetman, Your antennae are perfect, T33 and RCjetdude, I like your 'old school' work, sometimes that's the only way to get it right. Best, LB

[RCjetdude]

Looks great!! I still do a lot of "old school" mods with Styrene, Epoxy Putty, Basswood and such although I am designing more 3D printed stuff. No where near the level of Elbee, Dirty Dee or apmech1 but I am getting better. Hey, whatever it takes.

Welcome to Hobby Squawk Condor! And welcome to the A-10 Arctic Camo Club, I'm a fellow member myself (mine is below). LOVE this jet, probably my all-time favorite Freewing jet to-date. Great flight and love the sound! You mention you didn't know we were here so I am curious how you found us? Welcome aboard and I look forward to more posts, flights and video!

Thank you, Well, I made the vid today and came back to Motion RC to share the vid with them. I saw the forum on the home page and started looking around and found the Hawg page.

I also have an HSD F16 I have flown in Arctic for a few years and just ordered the fan upgrade kit for it. So I am going back to jets for a while. Glad I found you guys. Can't wait to read through all the post. I need to replace the pilot and give her a cockpit upgrade. I am sure somebody is way ahead of me on that score. Just need to find a pilot.

Hey guys, Well, this is my first post. I didn't know you guys were here. lol
