there are 2 holes on each nacelle, from the inside of the nacelle you can secure them with two 4 mm bolt to the fuselaje, you will have to do this before engine installation of course, take a good look and you will find those two holes on each nacelle, hope it helps.

That helps alot. I kinda wish they kept the original way of bolting on the nacelles, cause it made it easier to access that rear compartment. I like to put my light stuff back there. Like air tanks and such. Its harder to now, but possible

Got another question everyone. I have been looking inside the wings and I do not see the tunnel in which my extensions will run through. I'm wondering if skymaster didn't cut them appropriately during the build. Any ideas?
Also, on my old a-10 thereally was a passage in there. I just don't think it's in this one.

Thanks

You are right, skymaster didn't cut a hole on G2 A-10, what i did was a 15 mm hole with a reamer attached to a 20 inches long dowel, you will have to cut that hole directly below (if you are working with the wing upside down like i did) the main landing gear former or rib, it is hard plywood over there, i can upload a couple of pictures tomorrow if you need them, take care.

Thanks, I got it all cut thanks to your answer.

Has anyone seen an issue with putting the ecu's inside the nacelles?

Westwindpilot86

Hey guys, finally maidened my a-10. Went well. But on the second flight my gear came down due to the failsafe activating. After looking around awhile I found the culprit. After the left main is retracted into the up position and the pin is pushed into the gear to hold it up it's fine. But as soon as there are any positive G' s put on the airplane the left main tries to come down and it lets air out of the little cylinder holding the gear up. Anyway I can fix this, or do I need a new cylinder?

Thanks

this builder made the awesome job for A-10, Nice weathering ! can not wait to see the airframe.,

Wow looks amazing!
Anton what is difference with G1 and G2 A10... less weight? Thanks

pilot tw

yes, the G2 is two engine pod , and little light than the G1.,

Mikey5547

Thanks Anton, is it possible to get under 20kg's?

pilot tw

Sorry, the A-10 is twin turbines and scale function wings, this will make it impassable under 20kg kg.,

Hi Westwindpilot86.

Congrats with the maiden, many happy hours with the A10.

I had a similar issue and after fitting the unlocks that Skymaster sent me I had a permanent air leak. After redoing all the air piping and some fittings I found that the Noes gear door cylinder was leaking. The up locks work a treat as long as they are adjusted correctly. My fist flight with them they did not work due to the fact that I set them up upside down and did not allow for the a bit of clearance. the airflow under the wing keeps the gear open ever so slightly and then the unlocks miss when closing. Any way that is all sorted now. I have one of the very very fist G1 airframes which is a bit heavy but flies great.

Have a great day

Regards

JB

Hi Anton
Please post more pictures of the weathering, It looks amazing. Need to do mine as well.


Below are a few pics of my A10 powered by two 14kg King tech kero starts. The A10 won the most relistic turbine display at the Robertson 2017 in May



Have a great day

Can this be done by skymaster factory?

JoeJr1485

ANTON! that is the A10 I want! I love how real it looks. Man I cant wait until I can get my hands on one.

LAZETA

Can someone please orient me on any stab mods from SM on the G1 A-10, or any mods done to the stab to strengthen it, I have my A-10 stored for the last 3 years... not to up to date on any further safety issues.

Thanks all,...

johnzqh

Your A10 has mods done at factory already.no worry.

Greetings. Purchased a SM A10 last year at Florida jets from an individual and now finally getting around to going through it and checking everything out. If anyone is still on this thread could you please let me know how to set the flaps for takeoff and landing . The instructions do not state where the measurements are taken from. [admittedly have not read through the entire thread] Also another question I have is that several people have modified the turbines so that the thrust is slightly upward. Is this an essential modification [mine has not been modified] and is there a reference to how to do that in this thread? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Paul

Paul all the details for flaps are available from the Skymaster introduction manual. The turbines should be set up with a down thrust ( thrust pipe pointed up words).
Some people have also added left thrust ( thrust pipe pointing right) to make it easer to handle in case of one engine flame out. With the measurement of flaps with a clean wing at your zero mark it’s not hard to work out 50% take off and 100% landing.

Has anyone cut there own brake pads for the A-10? And if you did, what material did you use? Thanks in advance.
