RE: Skymaster 1:6 A10 Build
Hey Dantley,
I will be happy to provide you with some parts but the true is that I didn't do much 3D printing for the A10..... I just did a lens holder and a few tiny things there for 3D printing.
I did some machining on my lathe of some parts and laser cuts some other parts too. I might do an entire cockpit in the future that will be a dream to have but that will be much later.
I really want to get this bird up in the air ASAP so I am working on that. I really love the turbines that I choose! Merlins 140..... they are so light and tons of power and the Ali exhaust system make the SM A10 looks so much nicer!

RE: Skymaster 1:6 A10 Build
Gonzalo, do you have any other parts (that you've made) that you think I will benefit from?
I don't have experience with Merlin turbines, but I like the weight. Any reason to choose them over Cheetahs?
Finally, where can I order the exhaust system?

Almost there and probably next weekend would be the maiden as is my B-day too! hopefully I have some extra luck with the B-day!
The ex president pilot could not work any better! perfect fit! the canopy sync with locks to perfection!
I am just trying to find out what would be the best way to get those antennas fix in case something happens they can be easily pop out.

Year and a half for an ARF is enough hahah (well, year and 4 months.... there are witnesses here in RCU)
AND... at least 3 flights. Also, there is a gallon of fuel in for each engine, so flights need to be longer than 3 minutes.
Am I been enough of a pain in the ***** ?? hahahaha

Yes Jack! you are a pain in the neck but I love you! There are a few things that I need to check and I don’t want to rush as you said I spent lots of time on this plane.
Hopefully next weekend would be the day!!!!! and Jack as much as you want.... you have "zero" influence on me trying to rush the maiden
I know you put your planes quite fast because of your Velcro techniques used in everything..... including the turbines!
Gzzzzzz!!!!

Why we call them ARFs is a mystery for me?

Ohhh boy I see that picture and I felt like back in time when I used to build from blue prints! You really have to have the time for that and the love! No problem with the love but no time for sure! Amazing Jack (Dad)! If you give that to your son probably he will cover those wings with Velcro!
Warm regards,
Gonzalo

Congratulations on your successful maiden Gonzalo. Can't wait to get my hands on mine.
What did you mean when you mentioned power management?

Hey Mick,
You just need to be ahed of the curve as you would be flying a heavier plane with more drag. She flies like a dream! You always need to alert with the power so she doesn't bite you back.
Is the same with my 1/4 scale helicopter! ahead of the curve.
You are going to love it the SM A10!
