Bye Bye A-10
 

It's been a great plane, probably one of the best ever. But like all good things it came to an end today! :(

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

sorryto hear that Ali, any details?

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

Ik was definatelly the best flying airplane I have ever seen.
I so enjoyed your A-10 flights at Pampa and the Jetpower messe.
Don't be to sad... Get a new one quick!!!!!!!:D

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

Beautiful jet Ali!

Sorry to hear its no longer with us. looking at your stable though it just will probably mean space for another spectacular plane.

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

Sorry to hear that mate.

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

Ali-Sooooooo sorry man. After the shock wears off and you say last rites, you will have to tell us about it. Beautiful jet and you flew it well. Roy

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

Mate, at least it gets to live on in sunnier climes rather than follow the Hunter route :(

Anyway, it needed to go as I've decided you need to buy Tom Cook's new Dauntless for that 400cc moki!

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

Well glad to hear it didn't follow the hunter! Now the dauntless sounds right up ali's alley :)

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

It was sold?

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

Thinking of you at this difficult time-

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

Definitely an awesome photo to remember the airplane by. Better days ahead!

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

Don't think it crashed. It was sold as far as I know.

RE: Bye Bye A-10

Ali, you are such a tease!

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

lol that was a good windup, nasty nasty man :D

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

Why? Nobody ask the premier question. What happen? Of course there are some guys that known Ali better than others. Ali just said bye bye A-10, he didn't said he crashed it like when the Hunter time.

Now is obvious Ali is in the hunt for a new toy now.;)

Sorry guys, I could not resist a bit of fun. Plus it brings a little bit of joy to the lives of some haters :D
Yep I am happy to say that the A-10 has not crashed. Instead I had the last flights of it as I handed it over to it's new Owner Brian " The Bear" Busuttil from Malta.
Brian actually bought the model from me way back in July on a visit he made to the UK. The agreement we had was that I because I needed it for the rest of my demo season, I would hand it over some time after Jet Power.
Brian sent over a Futaba 14 MZ and a pair of 14 ch 2.4 futaba receivers. With the model having already been set up on a power box royal the change over was super simple. We then took it flying and got some buddy time with 4 perfect flights in what has to be the most extreme weather conditions I have ever flown in. Both the bear and the Hog handled it really well.
Although I am sad to see one of my best and most reliable models go, I am really happy that is going to a great home and a new owner that will really appreciate it for the great plane it is.
Have Fun Brian, and remember if you need any help with flying it, or setting it up ( Even doing the wing bolts up ) the Al's Hobbies full free after sales package is applicable. ;)
Regards Al
A few photos to mark the occasion.. Shame these do not show how really windy it was ( I guess it was gusting 30 Mph )

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

Hector. No sorry this one is off to sunny Malta! I am trying my hardest to hold onto some models to put in the container for Domincan republic meeting, but its proving difficult with sales the way they are:D
Anton: We all know what my next A-10 will be. ;) Yes this time it must be ready in time for Jet Power! When you get time please email me, we have much to discuss.
Alex. I am always looking for new toys. Working now on the big hunter, also some new big hawks coming ( One skygate and one Tomahawk ) also a huge ME 262 and then a bunch of normal size stuff. Looking at Skymaster it looks like 2010 will be a busy year for new toys!

RE: Bye Bye A-10
 

Some shots of it in the air. Damn!!! [:@] This was one good looking jet! This is the first time I have ever really stood back and watched the plane and appreciated it ( Normally I am too busy flying it and thinking what to do next )
