Fly Eagle Jet A-10 1/6.25 Build
Just order myself the Fly Eagle Jet A-10 1/6.5 scale Honeycomb + Carbon Fiber Material version. I should have it in about 8 weeks or so.
1. Operating canopy
2. Leading edge slats
3. Turbo fan kit
4. Cockpit detail w/o pilot
5. Pro-extra work done for gear, gear doors, fuel tanks, air brake door to be installed and glue clear canopy, ailerons, flaps and rudder
I am thinking of running the Kingtech K-80 or K-140F wait see what the dry weight of it first.

Mine flies real easy on a pair of P120's. Original version that came out at 26 kg. Powerbox Royal, 2 x 6014 Futaba rx, HS7955TGs in wings, JR 8911's on elevators.

Don't stress, yours will be heaps lighter. There is a 1.2 kg difference in just the bare wings themselves between my version and yours!! The K80's will fly it fine, however if you ever want to load up with full ordinace and go vertical you will need a bit more.

The other thing to keep in mind is the power distribution, when one of these is on a hot final on a windy day with all 4 flaps hanging, 2 ailerons having big movements and a couple of rudder servo's swinging left right trying to keep the tail lined up you will be sucking a few amps. I run the Powerbox Royal RRS (twin rx because my plane was over 25 kg - Aus rules) with a pair of 2200 mah lipo's feeding it.

That’s cool I thought I would ask because I had 4 new ones here. I will order some 8911s and I was going to run twin rx with the Powerbox Royal…
