Status: offline 		Hi Ian,

From my enquires on the new A-10, the weight should be about 19kgs dry (without any ordanance) and with small turbines like 2 x Wren Super Sports. I have to made contacts to get one on order, but have not had a reply from the factory as jet, but I am hopefull the wait will not be too long.

Cheers,

Davie

Status: offline 		I am in the process of building the 4th gen A-10 so I can not say what the RTF weight will be. I do think that with the changes that Mibojets has made inside the fuselage and on the new turbine pods will save weight. P70s for scale flying ,P120s should fit . I will be using AMT180s with electric start.

Status: online 		A classic example of how well Billy flies his hog on one engine was at Speedworld recently. I was spotting for Matt at the time, and Matt had just done his gear pass and announced "Landing" ; Billy pipes up with "Huh - I lost one engine." Matt offers to abort his landing to let Billy come right in, but Billy just says "No problems Matt - go ahead. I'll just fly around until you are done. Let me know when you are clear.", and he proceeds to fly around like nothing had happened at all and then nochalantly brings her in for yet another greaser of a landing.

Status: offline 		The second hand kit I bought is missing these G10 pieces for the slats (see pic). If anyone has a kit and can scan them and email that to me (so I can duplicate them), it would be AWESOME!

Thanks in advance,
Joe

Are you planning to have this done in time for CA Jets ? I hope!

I was planning to have mine done, but that's kinda slipped. Too busy at work.

I want to see two Hawgs in the air together!

Doesn't suprise me at all. Remember, the one in my avitar made a complete circuit of the field at Spook Hill on one Dynamax/.91. Around 53 pounds with the remaining fuel on board.

Six turbines?? Should sound incredible!!!
