Hey,

I built this airplane about seven times. I used to live very close to their warehouse, so I was in there hanging with those guys at least once a week for years. Nice plane if you do it right.
So Shaun,
how did you change the law of physics? I built the A-10 per Combat Models instructions the first time, and it was tail heavy. This was a problem with the design, not my building. After adding lead to the nose, the wing loading was too high for that size wing.
"IF YOU DO IT RIGHT"

Chris,

I think maybe you are reading WAY too much into that. I think I meant by "...if you do it right..." that some people elect not to glass it, some people try to use inappropriate powerplants (.61s), etc. My comment had about zero to do with your c.g./balance or anything else specific to your plane.
