Oh sorry, have a nice day.
|
...
|
No one has contacted me, ? I have over 30 flights on mine ? With no issues
|
To clarify my earlier statement, the "similarities" between my incident and Mike's is that both A-10s pitched upwards and rolled. Given that my A-10 had a number of flights on it, my assessment is that I had a flame-out and I ran out of luck and skill to bring the plane back to the runway.
|
Can the a-10s not handle a single engine condition?
|
FB,
Yes they can. But by looking at the pics, both nacelles were broken and altering incidence angles of the turbines on both sides. I've seen guys fly Mibo's on one engine fine without too much yaw issue. I was there...Mike was brilliant at getting this bird down in one piece. I too saw right at 3 min into the maiden, on straight and level flight, it had an abrupt change in pitch...very severe. His approach to landing was very pitch sensitive the whole way in. It was a great save for sure on Mike's part. BV and Dustin were "Johnny on the spot" to get firsthand intel to get a fix going for this bird. |
Rex, I was just wondering since some day I would like to have a nice a-10. Dubd said he had a flame out and I was just wondering if they were controllable on one turbine. Thanks for the info

Mike, I'm glad to hear you did not lose your plane!! :) I'm sure Skymaster has your back 100% with support. I have had issues in the past where it took some nudging, but Anton and John always came thorough. I have been giving the A-10 some very serious though lately myself, but i think a 1/4 scale turbine heli will be my choice instead for now.. hope i'm making the right choice here .. i Love the A-10!! ~V~ |

Interesting...one on the west coast here in May had cracks around the nacelle too. Thought it was just a rare / one off thing. I think it happened around the second flight. Surprised this has not been noted earlier...
