Hi,
I have searched but can not find any directions text or video on how to build the wings on the master series A10.
Can anyone provide A link?

It's in the A-10 Master Series Build Playlist on Flite Test Tech. (vid 13)

Having fun flying my Arctic Hog version

It'd be cool if FT made a Mighty Mini A-10.

I'm late to the party, but here's

my A10 so far

 

[Mr Man]

Very good job, keep it up!

 

[Nitrobomber]

Thanks Mr Man. Before starting, I researched all things A10. I got the stl files for the nacelles from this thread. Will also be installing the Ben Harbor fowler flaps.

Looks awesome. You make me want to build one. Are you using the speed build kit? The plywood work looks fantastic.

 

[Nitrobomber]

Yes, I bought the speed kit. I'll scratch build the next one though. I hate this new maker foam. Every kit I've received, as soon as you cut the saran wrap, the foam warps into a potato chip. Terrible stuff to try to build a straight airframe. I have a good suppler of the brown foam so no more speed build kits dor me

Great! Where are you getting the brown?

Hobby Town?

I’m gonna make a 60% version of the FT A-10. Would that be the right scale for some 50mm EDF’s ?

40-45% would be about right.

Wondering how much I would have to scale down the FT A10 to fit 50mm edfs. Thank You!

I'm getting it online at Blick art materials. I order 10 20"×30" sheets for 50.00. They call it their water resistant foam board.

Thanks for the replies!
I think that 50% would be a bit small, so I made a 65% version.
It flies great, and it is super maneuverable.
I will try to get a picture of it during the holidays.
BTW I did not make it with EDF's, I might try that later.

Hi all
Just a quick update on the second A 10.
The weather in the UK has not been kind to us for the last couple of months, storm after storm so not been out flying.

I have however been working on the warthog and it is about ready for some more test flights when the weather improves.

Here are a few photos as to date.

That looks great, do you guys disconnet one of the esc red wires that plug into the receiver? Thanks

Yes, otherwise the BEC’s will fight each other, and you’ll lose control of the servos.

 

[Mr Man]

And throttle too.
