Any news on your servo reccomendation?

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Calculations show minimal torque needs on the A-10X... I am bumping torque value requirements up by roughly 20% here...

Aileron - 60oz/in
Elevator - 55 oz/in
Flaps - 70oz/in
Rudder - 60 oz/in

Now...everyone has their own servo preference, personally...I like the digitals on flight control. Here is what I used...

Aileron - JR3421
Flaps - Futaba S9202
Elevator - JR-9411
Rudders - JR DS168

Just keep your servo selection in this torque range or higher and your good. Rudders require "Wing" servos and elevator / ailerons need something in the "Mid" size. I will have a chart for servo choices available soon.

Can't wait till mine arrives!!! Glad you posted about the servo's I didn't know that the rudder needed the thin ones. The retracts look great.

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Todd, I have a spare set of robart retracts.
530 mains and a 563 nose. Will these fit?
Will your struts work on these?

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Got the A10x today!!! Man she is SWEET, arrived all in one piece no problems at all with packing/shipping damage. The quality looks fantastic. This thing should go together really quickly, seeing how there are so many cool features like the pre "latched" hatches, and the blind nuts already installed to mount the wings. BTW those gear seem STOUT!!!! bet they can take a licken and keep on ticken. The only suggestion I had was that a template for the radio tray be included, and Todd said he is getting one put together. So far I am really happy with the quality and completeness of this kit.

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Ronnie,
That gear will work, I believe they are wire strut on the 530?. I installed Robart 550's in mine which use oleo legs but wire strut should work fine for this airframe.

Keep us updated on your build progress Michael ;)...
I will have the radio tray layout template completed this weekend. The supplied tank alters my original design a bit.

Kits have arrived and I should begin shipping by tomorrow. Combo packages will not be here until tuesday/wednesday so all combo orders will begin shipping next week.

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Just bought the servo's for the a-10x from servo city...good deal on them right now by the way. This is what I got::

4 x HS-5475 Digitals (AILERON/ELEVATOR)
2 x HS-635HB (FLAPS)
2 x HS-125MG slim-wing (RUDDER)

All either are within Todds reccomendations.

Todd, how do I get on that waiting list for a combo kit?

Luis

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Todd,

When do you think you'll have the radio tray layout done?

Jeff

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Hi Guys,
Sorry to be MIA, I have been extremely busy this week [:@]...

A-10X kit and combo packages are in stock and shipping.
Luis, Give me a call to get yours shipped out...

Jeff, just need to know what color you wanted, call me asap ;-)

Todd

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Todd, can you use low profiles in the rudder or do they have to be slim wings?

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Ronnie.... I got your mail, I need to measure the pockets. I let you know this evening. I believe they need to be slim wing but 3301 size may fit...
Be in touch shortly.
Todd

RE: A-10X Almost Here

kit was well protected in the shipping box.

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Ronnie,
Pocket depth is 3/4" in the fins, looks like slim wing is the best choice.

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Where can I get more technical data on this Kit ? and prices? ...oh and what size turbine is required?

Thank you.

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

thanks Todd, UPS says delivery today, can't wait!

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

It's heeeeereeeee

let the fun begin

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Shok, looks like we're flying the same colors maybe I can make a jet rally next year in Tx with it. What engine are you using. I'm going with the FTE-500 that I have. I been busy since I got it, but finally got some servos installed today I think this thing will go together pretty quick. Any estimates on how long these things take to get together Todd? Have you started on yours yet Shok?

Michael :)

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

I plan on taking mine to Mesa in November with a PST 600 installed. I can hardly wait to get crackin' on her over the weekend.

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Looks like on the 12lb class turbines that are bigger than the Artes Bee you will need to do some triming on the rear fiberglass right above where the turbine is mounted. See pic, I do not believe that it will weaken the structural integrity, but I thought that this informaton may help someone who is trying to make a decision on which turbine to use/purchase.

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

Does anyone make the "warthog" mouth and eye decals that will fit this plane. I think it would really set them off.. What do you think Todd???

RE: A-10X Almost Here
 

hahaha I'm using an FTE-500 as well.
Construction began yesterday.

Waiting for the slim wing servos to be delivered.
