Any updates on the jet? Last we spoke you were waiting for landing gear. Just curious as to what kind of timeline we're looking at for delivery.

Thanks,
MarkN

Not sure if your out of town but i tried calling a few times. I have been out of town myself with the holiday stuff.

Retracts are still in a bit of re design stage. I believe i had talked to you about the electric setup but its been 3 weeks now and down and locked has not got back with me on a design. I talked to them on 3 occasions as a reminder to see about a design and they are lagging on getting back with me, so i guess i will be going elseware. Not sure if that would have worked anyway because actuator length would have been almost twice the length for it to work. A local buddy of mine has a machine shop and i stopped in today to show him what i was looking for. I was not sure about his capabilities, but he says it will be easy for him and that i will be impressed when hes finished. I told him i was in a bit of a rush ,so hopefully we can see something soon. Tam has discontinued the wheels that i have been using on the A10 ,so i may have this guy machine some scale rims and brakes as well as make some molds so i can make my own tires. The A10 is finished besides a few little minor things and the retracts. Hopefully i will know a bit more this week on the retracts.

thanks
chris

That is a lot works you put in that built kit. Hope someone pay you good money for it. If he get if for cheap. He must be lucky guy.

About the wheels.... I don't make enough on wheels and last batch of wheels order it done 2006.
It took me 4 years to sold out and beside most of the kit come from china come with wheels.
I got guys once awhile looking for wheels and number of wheels sale it too low to had it back in production again.
Sorry about that.
Now most of the wheels/brake I sale it for EDF use mostly. That I still make here in the house. But the market for heavy duty wheels is gone.

Definately alot of work.

Your wheels were the best match for this kit. I looked all over for wheels for this kit for a long time and unless people were willing to pay $500 for some scale wheels and brakes from Glennis, yours were the next best fit. Dont think people would have went for that price. Oh well, something will come around again.

Any testing with the 110's in your A10 yet?

thanks
chris

Chris,
That much for the wheels.
If you can order 10 sets. I'm sure can make something that look scale for sure and cost less than that.

give a look to the airpower wheels from Dream Works.. they are well priced and look great! maybe not scale but look very nice, just need to be painted flat white

http://dreamworksrc.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=64_78

I believe they will work with robart struts and retracts

keep up the great work

Only problem is they do not have the right size. Call me picky. Tam says he has about 9 more sets of his available. Thanks for the insight Ron.

Sent private message to Chris in regards to not completing a design for him and made an apoligy. Although I truly do not recall the request for a conversion on the A-10 If we have caused any inconvience for him we truly regret that and wish him all the best with his aircraft. Mitch Stott

Any progress on the gear? It looks like I won't be up that way until mid February, so we may have to make arrangements to have it shipped to me.

I have trial fitted the wings tonight and have trial tested the c of g at the 4'' rear of the leading edge and with the 12s x 2 Turnigy Nano 5000s it balances. I will have a test later to see what happens with all the wheels up as this should put it nose heavy.The Turnigys run at 4000watts full throttle so bundles of power. The battery location is good as I intend to make two battery holders that fit in through the main access hatch and ill leave the cockpit closed. Ill post some photos soon.

Ron what was your flight times on the Spark  ?

Mark


Mark, Have you flown yet?

Status: offline 		Nice job James. Looks to be coming along.

Right now i am building one for a customer that will be using a pair of tj90's. When this is accomplished we can widen the gap even more as far as fan size and create a bit more savings for more budget minded people. We will have to get Tam to make a new mold for the inlets like he did with the tj100. I know how he likes to stay busy, im sure he wouldnt mind a bit more on his plate.

Any flight report yet James?

What's your stock like? If someone wanted one, do you have open stock? What items, if any, are backordered?

Thanks

I build to order. On average about 2-4 weeks for a kit and about 6 weeks for an ARF depending on which spectrum the roller coaster is in. I do not have the means or time to keep any open stock around.

thanks
