Holy Crap Pete , Hamburg In October is going to be like an A 10 Squadron. Scott and I are both flying Mibo's and Mike and Dave will be flying skymaster's plus Walt and I are both going to be working on new Gen 5 mibos for next season. Maybe we can get the guy from Browns Tavern to shoot some video of all 7 of us flying formation.

Got mine finally. Only one thing broken and that was from customs. But Doug is sending me a new one. This picture is just a mockup of it before I dove into it starting to put my equipment into it.

...The weight of the empty airframe plus gear is 29lbs 14oz which leaves 14lbs2oz for all the equipment if it's to be kept under the 20kg limit here in the UK. A tall order I think so its been registered with the LMA's over 20kg scheme and such the radio will be a PB Royal with two Spektrum 12000 receivers...
Thx in advance for any input
Regards

Sort of true, he flew it two or perhaps three times with the 100's but soon replaced them with 140's.
There is so much rubbish spouted about models being over powered, particularly in the case of something like an A10 you need raw power to fly any where near to scale performance.
I had two Evo 160's in my first one and was just able to perform scale manoeuvres with it. Ok if you just want to poodle about then 100's are fine but if you want to emulate the FS you need grunt.
Watch the attached video and make your own mind up the A10 has massive power from those two turbofan engines and it shows.

I third going with more powerful motors. My first A-10 had P120s and that's as small as I would go if you want to immulate the full scale plane. Mick is spot on about needing the extra power for aerobatic maneuvers. Mine never felt "over powered". My current A-10 is getting a pair of 160s. I spoke to Mark Hinton about his A-10 and he said the 100s were underpowered for his taste.
