Hi, all

we just received the e-mail from customer of Brazil , can some one translate it?

Olá Anton, já estamos voando o Skymaster A-10 aqui no Brasil, foi montado por Marquinho Modelismo com 2 JetCat P120SX,
todos os servos JR8711, PowerBox, sistema da fumaça e iluminação completa, ficou simplesmente maravilhoso.

Agora vamos colocar as bombas e fazer novos vôos.

Um grande abraço.

Is there a trick to getting the gear to move? I have a email out to SM, but thought I would ask while I wait for a reply. In any case, all 3 cylinders exhibit the same behavior. I pump air to either side, and they barely move a mm.

hank2000 Hi,

the Likai already replied to you about your Quastion as below:

The cylinder of A-10 is designed to operate with 2-action electronic or mechanical valve. Please connect both side nipples of cylinder with a control valve, it will work normally.

Best regards

Dear Sir,

I am sorry for your problem, but we have turbon fan and ordance for your A-10 color in stock. It is impossible to have you wait 4 months for parts in stock. Please contact the seller you bought from to check because we didn't receive the parts order here.

Best Regards

Anton

Anton thanks for posting the video. The littyle P100rx jetcats push the A10 real nice and enough fuel for about 10 mins flight times, I am just finishing off stores to put on so we can fly ,all tooled up.
Please thank Lakai as he sent me some seals for U/C these are now in and oleos are working 100% right, great service.

Really great flight Mark, looks like you now have a great combo, slow flight was impressive, landing rock solid.
Mark, is that your local flying site.

Hi Pete ,
Happy new year to you, yes my local site, 8 miles from home, 210' wide and 6000 long , we have just lost the use of the bottom 3000 as it is total of9000 long, was relayed with new black then no more fighters were based there. So we have to wear it out,pity hey, .
Yes this A10 is such great quality and the gear is to die for so far 1.5 hours loged on it . I have flown it on the new 18mz also . The P100rx start and run with the reliability you would expect from Jetcat.

Gonzalo,
Thank you for your kind works about the weathering, The plane has gone to the top of my fav, board. Now to sell a few of my others, .
I will let you know when I have pics with it stored up, flown with a few and the load does not effect the flying only the sit on the ground, I have just resealed the oleos, as they were leaking and lost pressure,I think seals were paint damaged, I have 90 psi in them now so sits a little higher ,now sitting good with stores.
Happy new year to you.

Mark, have you flown yours with stores yet? Wondering how the P-100s will push it around when its all loaded up.

Dantley,

I was flying with Mark last week and I know he hasn't flown with stores. He is swapping out the 2 x P100 for 2 x P140 and then fitting them. It flies great with the 100s but adding a few kilos of extra weight and, almost more importantly, a massive increase in drag is going to require more grunt to get the same performance.

Rgds,
Mark
