Ron,
What battery config. are you using with the stumax and what kind of output are you getting with it? I was curious to compare it with the turbax 9s , 10s setup that John has been using.

Doc,
You can try it, but i think the twin dynamax setup is a little overkill for the A10, although i like the scale realism it would add to the plane. I would like to set mine up with the stumax fans. You can get into some weight savings especially with a twin. Tam also has a fan combo coming out that is smaller and much lighter with good output. John has been waiting on the motors for this set up and i think Tam will be setting up his A10 with these. The A10 still glides and flies great with the turbax but i am just wondering how much better it could be with a lighter set up. I am just thinking lighter is better. Do you know the average weight difference between the dynamax and turbax?

Take for instance the Mibo A10 with a 10ft wingspan. Its not even twice the size of this A10 at a 6ft wingspan but it sometimes comes in up to 3 times the weight (70lbs). I am not sure how all these ratios work but even though the designs are not identical, the large wing area makes it more forgiving. I guess what i am trying to say, is that you should not have a problem with the dynamax but i would also look at the weight savings you could have.

thanks
