I'm new to this message board, but I have been keeping up with your Mods on the A-10. I really appreciate all the info you have posted on here, I copied your nose gear setup on the A-10, it work so much better than the crap that came with the plane. This plane is extremally underpowered, on the first attempt to fly it, it took almost 100 ft to get it off the ground, and then at five feet off the ground a small gust of wind made it roll over and nose in the ground upside down. Broke the nose clean off, took it home and epoxied back together with added strips of balsa ply, also had to buy a new canopy. Plane looks great now!!! I bought a 3s 2300mah Lipo and a lipo saver for it, so hopefully it will have the juice it needs to get it in the air. I like the brushless route but not sure if I want to invest that much money in this plane.
