Hey Kyle,
I wouldn't use a .60 on this plane, too much weight.
On my A-10, I had to add allot ballast weight in the nose to bring in the CG. This effects the wing loading and then your flight performance sucks. I flew it once and barley got it back down safely.
I used the fuel proof Top flight paint in a can, but it didn't seem very fuel proof. My hands turn olive drab green every time I handle the airplane. Construction was per the plans and A-10 video, I don't know how they can build a ready to fly A-10 at 6 lbs?
Anyway,
it's on my list to get it flying this summer and will post my mods as soon as I get some good results.
BRG,
Chris
