Hi Roger;

"Can you please overnight one front strut pin! I flew 4 times today!

It was 13 degrees, then warmed up to about 32 so it got wet on the runway by
the snow melting! The A-10 took of with wet wings and I flew her up to 1500
feet right after take of! She iced up and one left flap froze and the plane
started snapping! At 3/4 throttle she stayed until I got her in on the run
way, but the front pin snapped!!!

What a flyer!! She was approx. 35 lb more with all the ice I think on the
wings and the fuse!!! Just like the real deal!

What a plane! After 156 flights she is still flying thanks to a good air
frame, build by Jerry Farmer and pure thrust!!"

I have frequently said that the MIBO A-10 does not care what its weight is...this is certainly a testimonial to the accuracy of that opinion.What a quality and user friendly product to withstand these kinds of stresses!!!<br style="mso-special-character: line-break" /><br style="mso-special-character: line-break" /></span>
