Hey Joe!
I should think that even with a turbine out 20 lbs of thrust should be enough to keep the hog airbourne. True! You will be able to do a full aero routine with your with just one motor [X(]
One important question... Will it be ready for California jets?
How does that single P-80 set up work out? The main idea of using the smaller turbines was to have a lower overall weight and hopefully a more agile model thats nicer to fly.
From what I have seen of the full size they are far from overpowered!
I did promise my painter that I would not photo graph it till it was all done and sitting with all its war clothes hanging from under the wings, but a quick put it together and see what it looks like session in the workshop tonight provided too much temptation. Sorry Ray[]
As seems normal with my scale planes of late,,, I could not find a scale scheme that floated my boat so it was off through my I photo file of interesting schemes that I pick up on my travels around cyber space to see what I liked the look of.
As with all them it had be semi believable, and as A-10's are operated in and around Alaska it seemed like a feasible scheme. It will look allot better sat on its wheels as my painter has done a great job of detailing the undercarriage and even the tires, and lets not mention all those tools of war that hang from the underside of the wings, oh and of course the pilot and cockpit but here are some for now!
