    Please post more photos at the Jam of your Peanut A-10. It looks so well done.
    Hey Alpha, thanks. That photo was from last years Jet Jam. Had a blast getting to meet a bunch of RCG and Hobby Squawk members.
    The vertical mod was done with a piece of the original EPP foam tip from after I cut it off. Then used a little Spackle for filling and counter. The pod was made with balsa stick sanded to shape and then sealed with Z poxey finishing resin. I used two small carbon fiber rods through the pod and into the vertical stab for added support after gluing it on.

        Good deal, Chris. I like your markings overall, too. Just a sharp setup overall!

          Thanks Alpha. I love the 80 mm A-10. Flies great. Just wish the battery technology was better so we can have longer flight times. Last year i lost my F-4 on the first flight of the day Thursday. Thought i had a BEC burn out but looks like I had a faulty receiver. Hoping for better results this year after replacing the fuselage, hatch and nose cone this past winter.

            Make sure you make some 5 picture posts each day from Jet Jam. Could walk home with an Avanti!

              OOOOH! You know it! I'm already planning on each day. I can always use a new jet. :-)

                I'm bringing a bunch of 3D printed ordinance for the Freewing A-10 to Jet Jam if anyone is looking to buy some to spruce up their loadouts. Also have a 600 gallon centerline tank for the phantom available.

                Chris' Peanut A-10 might be sporting some GBUs and mk82s on TERs :Cool:

                        Hey Lon, Looks like the pcture links are broken, when posting from your phone use the camera button on top left of message box. Then use the upload. I posted pics directing you.

ID:	199660 Day prior to the official First day and already lots of flying going on. Winds were variable but right down the runway. Robert is running around making sure everything is good to go. I think I have Fernando aka Alpha 10 sold on a L39. It’s going to be a great weekend.
