Mighty Mini A-10 version 3 mods

[FoamFighters]

Hey everyone this is a version 3 of the Flite Test A-10 but a little mod i made a 33% size and made it a little bit more master series/mini series plane

as you can see the old wing design is more blocky and the molded wing is more flat and realistic looking


here are some build pics

any suggestions on paint schemes I'm all ears

So, is this a chucker? Because I can't find anywhere that says what power system this is using? Is it twin 50mm edfs? Twin 40mm, 35mm??? What is it?

When he went to print he did not poster it. He clicked fit to paper in the settings. In his other thread he also says that he is not going to be powering it

I just built one with two 1106s, 2.5" props.

and here's another:

It's ready for paint right now. (But working on a different plane at the moment.)

i don't know if you have another thread going with the builds so i hope i'm not asking stupid questions u already answered.

1- can you add some info on how you made the adjustments for the 30% scale but 100% foam? what is the easiest way?
2- what is the final weight of the fuselage once finished?
3- what are your thoughts on doing this with something like ..... THIS????

thanks,

me
