Last winter I purchased an old A-10 kit from a friend in Hamburg/Germany. I only got the fiberglass parts.
I contacted Dean and he was very kind to send me some formers and a set of drawings for the kit.
So---------- now I have cut the foam cores for the flying surfaces. I hope to finish the plane during the next winter.
I took some pics to share with you guys. Now I gotta figure out how to build this monster thing...

How many JR8611 do you think I need for this one?

By the way. Anyone know a good source for a complete set of gear for this monster. I assume it will weigh around 55 lbs wet..... The MIBO Jets gear would fit, but I think it is a little to expensive for my taste.

Hello.

The Dean Lassek A-10 is no longer available. You have to go with the MIBOJETS if you want one the same size.
Go to www.jetadic.com or www.mibojets.com

BTW. I will start the build in a month or so, when I have finished my other (smaller) projects. I'm gathering parts at the moment. All I need is the thrust pipes and some epoxy glue.....

I was living in Colorado Springs when Dean built/ designed ( he made a fiberglass kit) the first one and flew it with 2 Dynamax fans with OS 91s. It was pretty impressive. I believe Dean still visits RCU and post here.

I see what I can find out about the Josh Harel plans

Status: offline 		Just for reference, I found this 80" version here: http://www.jensenjetmodels.com/id25.htm

Although they list a kit, they only offer a short kit with the fiberglass fuse, and other components, you have to buy the plans and build the wing, tail, etc. I think this is the old George Miller design.

Looks like no easy way to do it....

I'm surprised with all the jet manufacturers out there, no one offers an 80-90" kit/ARF

It's perfect for EDF conversion due to the high lift wing, and the fact that it doesn't need to be "fast"

Status: offline 		Dean put me in touch w/ Josh a couple years ago and I purchased a set of A-10 plans from him. At that time Dean still had some glass parts available, not sure if he does or not anymore. He frequents this site often so I'm sure he'll jump in here. My plans are in the "to be built someday" bin.

Status: offline 		Do you think the plans could be scaled down? I am thinking about an EDF A-10, I am finishing one now from Electric Jet Factory, but I would like a bigger one

With the power of the new EDF's though, this would make an interesting conversion at current scale. Lot's of room in the nose for all the batteries you'd ever need, plus no issues with balance. I saw one fly "back in the day" with twin D/F's & it flew well.

"Hi Sid,
I'm in London at the moment and can't remember my RCU password to reply. Would you reply and let them know I have Josh's plans available and can supply glass parts for my kit? I will respond to RCU when I return to the US.next week.
THX"

Dean will contact you when he returns.

Status: offline 		Thanks Sid. I was looking for Dean's email address & couldn't find it. Glad to know he still has some glass parts available. Maybe this winter will be the start of a BIG project.....
