The Hawg hasnt seen air yet, I recently bought a set of brakes from Darrell at Sierra Precision, www.sierraprecision.com WOW!! what a nice set of brakes, the Dubro setup that comes with the kit melted on my first taxi in the parking lot, it is a 6" Dubro Plastic wheel with a plastic disc on the inside of the rim, the brake piston extends when air is introduced, and it rubs against the flat plastic plate "not good", as I said, first time I applied brakes, it melted the plastic.. so I bought a set from Darrell, "problem solved", in addition, the tube that comes with the kit seems to be a bit thin, so instead of waiting for a problem to happen (which it may not) I filled the tube with structural A&B foam, this added weight but its solid as a rock and now I have no fear of hard G turns..

I'll post flight stats this week, I am ready to go with her... all is well in happyland,

anyone knowing of a graphics company that would have a 1/6 scale or thereabouts graphic of a HAWG face for an A10, send me a link please.. my alternative is getting pro mark to do a dry transfer, which I'm sure they can do..

the 2 P120s are beasts, 10 yards behind the blast, caps where flying off of peoples heads... looks very cool at night by the way.
