I am just in the process of starting my scratch build FT Edge, this will be followed by a Sea Otter (everyone should have one sea plane).
After that I had planned to build a Master Series (probably the Mustang) or even the Simple Stick if Flite Test ever get around to releasing the free plan (some time in this millenium).
However, at the back of my mind I have had a hankering to build the A-10 Warthog, ever since the episode on Flite test with the Tank.
However, 3 things have put me off:
1. The size - Storage and building space is limited, I have an attic full of FT planes. Transporting it to the field, will it fit in my car and finally cost of foam (It uses a fair few sheets).
2. I hate the painting stage of model building and thats a big model to paint. Unless I start spraying with cans or buy a new quality airbrush.
3. Dont get me wrong, I love my prop driven planes. However, this would be one model that needs to be EDF powered. Unfortunately I have no experience building or flying with EDF motors, let alone twin EDF's.
I am interested in any experience anyone has with this model, particularly if it helps me to make a decision whether to build or not.
Any advice will be greatly recieved.
