I said I've never owned a foam airplane, thats not exactly true. I do have a twisted hobbies Crack Laser. Its a foamie, but yall know what I mean.

Can someone please explain to me how the main battery telemetry works...how can I get spoken read outs of my main packs voltage percentage? I'm using the ar smoothflite 16ch with a spektrum 9030 t receiver with 3 satellites...how and where do I wire up the packs...im pretty sure I put them on the flight pack telemetry port but im not sure and don't want to burn anything up ? I already caught 2 servos on fire 🔥 on this build .and don't want to burn up my reciever or the smoothflihht

Does anyone have any concerns about the way the verticals just glue to the horizontal stab. If it tries to delaminate inside the vertical they will tear right off. Im thinking about taking a dremel and at least remove some of the glass inside the joint so i can get a wood to wood glue joint. I know one guy had that problem and had to drill holes in the vertical and just force a large amount of epoxy into it to stabilize it. It didn't happen in flight, he bumped it on the doorframe trying to bring it inside but he said he barely bumped it, that it came apart pretty easily

Jink it is like the powerbox mercury but imo its better .man booma is the **** these things are amazing I had the 26ch on the other a-10 and it was a total loss...the 16 is filled up thought im not going to be able too do the operational cockpit..unless I double the esc fans up or just wire direct w/a switch.i have all surface on there own channel so I can have full crow and rudder brakes as well as reg.brakes..im getting close to finishing

Text me jink I forgot to save your number and its to far back in my call log...I want to see what ur plan was to cover these wheel wells ..im thinking I want to make a mold and make some fiberglass inserts ...I don't know if u can do it unless u make urs magnetic so u can take the wings off...u should consider making a 1 piece

Ok, I have a question, I've always heard that you can't mix analog and digital servos on the same airplane. I've never heard an explanation as to why, it's just an issue that I've never had to deal with because all my airplanes that I have now are all 3d type aircraft and have digital servos. Its been some years since I've done a scale build and for the most part I always used analog servos on them. I went that same route on this build to save money and a little weight. I know the weight saving was minimal but analog servos are lighter than digital and there's a bunch of them on this airplane. The problem im having is finding a thin wing type analog servo that has enough torque to drive the elevator halves. Does anyone have any suggestions.

after doing a little research that I should have done beforehand it looks like I've suffered yet another setback on this build. From what I understand using analog servos with the newer spektrum radios above 9 ch is problematic due to the higher frame rates. It causes the servos to "hunt" when trying to hold the neutral position or when holding a set deflection such as flap settings. From what I understand it will cause higher current draw and heat build-up and will ultimately burn up the servos at a rapid pace. Someone please tell me im wrong and that I don't have to re-buy all my servos for this build

Think everyone gone over to the RCgroups thread!

OK, I figured out the servo deal with one exception. I can change the setting in my TX to transmit a lower frame rate. The servos I have will work. I have one concern. Im comfortable with the torque output on the servos i have with one exception. I feel like I need more torque on my elevator servo since ive decided to go with the factory mechanism to drive both halves modified to a point where I feel it isn't going to come apart on me down the road. The only analog servos I can find with more torque than the ones I have are those big clunky giant scale servos. Anybody have a suggestion? And im with you skytak. Im starting to think nobody is following this thread anymore either. There were several guys that were either building or bought one of these A 10s ready to fly and after post or 2 they just disappeared. I look at the rcgroups thread from time to time but I haven't been able to get into my account to post or pm anyone for some time now. Tried like 5 times to change or recover my password with no luck.

Jink - Can't speak for anyone else but I am still following. I come here nearly every day to get my A-10 fix since I sold my CGRC. Maybe you guys just need to post more and finish these birds? Totally kidding, of course. I know what it is like to be buried in the project. Anyway, have a look at Promodeler servos. Super torque in mini sizes and top notch quality. IMO, reasonable pricing for what you get. Not a sales pitch and I am not a paid shill. They just solved a sticky problem for me where I needed some serious torque and reliability in a mini size.

Hey sky almost done all wiring except motors this week I'm sending Gary my het's to get the new fans installed and the jp mains and brakes are at the machine shop and he said 2 weeks to get to it and complete...after that she's ready.i bought my first 2 turbines and have been working on those to get ready to get my waiver on February 19th -21st...I purchased a brand new swiwin v2 3d hotdog and a k100g2 to go in it ... and a new boomarang elan with a jetcat p120 so im hustling to get em done before the 19th...also a huge 122"hangar 9 su-26 imac beast with a dle-170cc its a very nice plane ....has 3 servos per aileron...ridiculous haha

Of course the rally got canceled cause the weather ...o well gives me a few more weeks to get everything ready...working on the 93" f4u corsair also got my new radio and trying to learn it that l39 is sick sky and I'm working on the su26 and the gear for the a-10 is still not done been like 3 weeks ridiculous
