Status: offline 		hi all
flew my a10 tonight. first 2 tries resulted in crashes. 1st was because model was not balanced. 2nd time as soon as i hand launched the model it was going good but my hand hit my air brake switch which i forgot to deactivate. this put my plane in a permanant roll to the right. hit the ground and broke the fuse in half and broke the nose off. glued them all back together. 3rd try, went very well. a light toss and the plane leveled out and started to go. i was impressed. i am only using a six cell pack that comes with the gws electric pack. i thought it flew very well. i had to use my regular receiver from a glow pwered plane because the crystals are on back order at the LHS. I am hooked on electric. the convienience is awesome. no fuel. fly anywhere and scale looks. best of all, ducted fans. i hope gws continues to make more scale jets.
i rate this plane a 10!!!

The A-10 is not very aerobatic as it is a bit low on power. Flies nicely and looks good in the air.

Correction, $41 for each P-51.

Status: offline 		ooh, I was wondering about that price

Here's an idea I was thinking of trying...
Making a big fold-up mat out of foam to land/take off on. Just have to be good enough to hit it. That's what I'm worried about heh.

Status: offline 		After the ESC's cut off the motor, you can drop the throttle stick, wait a couple seconds, and advance ti again to get things moving.

Even after the cutoff, you sould have enough to get back to where you started (and save yourself a walk).

I spent 2 weeks in CA recently and have really improved my wind-flying skills. With my bigger models that is... This small things.. like little parachutes.
