*Unofficial* FT A-10 Warthog

Weeelllll, I guess you were right @Jo's squadron....Though it was from not enough power vs too heavy...

At least it did not burst into many pieces.

No, that it wouldn't fly 😂 (I got it out today!😁)

I said that about the 56% one. but since this one was almost FS I don't get why it did not fly.

It was under powered

Yup! In fact all that got damaged is the horizontal stabilizer so it will fly again! (This time with motors though...)

If I where you I would try EDF again.

 

[Jo's squadron]

Could I get a pic of how you mounted the EDF's?

NO WAY! JK 😂 😂 I probably will, just on a smaller model. (It sounded awesome!..Until it didn't😂)

Yeah, I can try to get one later (I am pretty sure I took one, just have to look thru all my files)

So, I've been flying my A-10 VTOL, and the AUW is around 2.7 kg (5.95 pounds). I'm using three EMAX Eco II 2807 1700KV motors with 7-inch triblade props, but the model is quite heavy, and these motors are drawing too much current from the LiPo battery (a 4S Tattu 120C battery). Because of this, I’m considering building a new VTOL. I was thinking about using Ben Harber's F-16 design, but I’m open to suggestions for a better platform. The new plane needs to be buildable with just four sheets of foamboard. Any ideas?

Sounds cool! Yeah, you may want some higher torque slower rpm motors that can spin bigger bi blade props...
