RE: Combat Models A-10 weight?
I tried the a10 with twin electric ducted fans. This was back with NiCD though..it really was just too heavy I think 8.5 or more lbs...Might work now with the batteries and motors.
I built and flew the CBM F16. Flew great but was a little sluggish on rolls ?because of the torque rods etc? . I would say the ys was well worth the money for the fuel pressurization as the tanks are FAR away from the engine. Robarts worked well, needed no ballast and flew nicely, but not that fast.
I still am flying the YS 45 in an F20 and used it for my turbine waiver.
