FlyinBrian Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 OK! - great achievement but totally unrealistic in flight. Jets are F A S T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look a bit silly (they obviously have very low weight), but I suspect the scale speed is actually not a million miles off - A10s are notoriously slow, a trait that meant they generally fly very low to avoid detection and reduce exposure to SAMs and enemy fighters.

Bob Cotsford Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 to be honest I think I'd rather watch the antics of a round-the-pole session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I enjoyed it, looked like fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Very impressive stuff. I wonder what the all up weight and wing loading is. Who would have thought that this could have been achieved just a few years ago, now we almost take it for granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
