RE: My A-10 Warthog Project

Looking good Paul. Looks like we are going to be doing a parallel rebuild, lol. With some help, a group effort by several club members really, we have the wing back together. Far less damage that...

RE: My A-10 Warthog Project

Ah, didnt realise it was an 8S for the TWO motors. You are going 6S on each motor? Then that should be just enough power...LOL Good luck.

RE: My A-10 Warthog Project

Update: rebuild in progress. Going slow because it is a bit worse than first glance. Nothing that can not be done though. Going to do some internal mods for batteries and such while I am in there. I...

RE: My A-10 Warthog Project

It is a couple of hundred yards away, but it is also down about 50 feet. When it is full, it comes right up to the edge of the far end of the runway. The lake has claimed planes, but the fishermen...

RE: My A-10 Warthog Project

Paul and All,

Well, it is finally done. I went and bit the bullet and got away from the glow motors since I could not get then to run consistently with the way I had them set up. To get them to...

RE: OS46 DF Engine Trouble....

The pumps that I am using work off of the crank case pressure. So in theory, they should pump fuel every revolution and not be dependent on the vibrations. Removing the pumps and going to pressure...

RE: OS46 DF Engine Trouble....

Hmm, I will have to try a second vent. I will probably change the fuel fill line into a vent and put a T in one of the draw lines to fill the tank. Thank you guys. I will modify and give it a shot....

RE: OS46 DF Engine Trouble....

rjbob, sorry I forgot the particulars, just a little frustrated here.

RE: My A-10 Warthog Project

Paul,

No, I would have shared every second of the first flight if I had one, even if it never had a first landing as I have seen happen a few times. I will get the video posted when I actually...

RE: My A-10 Warthog Project

RE: My A-10 Warthog Project

Whew, the vertical stab problem was not that bad. I though that I might have to tear into it to fix it. Before I did that, I tried dripping in some medium CA through the bell crank slot and a small...

RE: My A-10 Warthog Project

Paul,

You can adjust the centering of the fans by using the stator bolts. That is how I did mine. I never had a problem with vibrations. Did you get the dynamically balanced fans from JHH? I did...

RE: A-10 Project

RTF787,
