Hot Landing!!!!!!!

I enjoyed the video. Can you tell us more about your set up; i.e., are those stock engines, did you use heat sinks, did you use a nose wheel servo - if so, was it effective, CG location, throttle settings used, how do you get at your motors to oil them? Additionally, have you done any testing before hand to determine amps drawn and voltage?

I am curious, because I am about to buy my batteries and I was set to buy Li-Poly. Did you have to carve out any foam to get the nine cells in the battery area/nose? Did you build the pack yourself? I could not tell from the video, but have you tried loops or rolls with your A-10?

If yours is indeed a stock set up, it is the first video I can recall of such, and the plane flies well with the set up described.

Again, nice flying aircraft! Good piloting job (although daring) on the landing (I thought sure you would hit that building or the tree beside it).
