In the A10 thread in the TN Models sub-forum there's a few people, including me, writing that they're building one. But not one mention of a successful flight. Mine is ready for it's maiden flight, but I've been thwarted last Sunday and today by the wind direction and strength. Hopefully next Sunday . . . .

Allan Bennett Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Thanks EarlyBird, I hadn't seen that report, or noticed the comment in TN's build notes. I had thought it odd how much the fans are angled upwards which, since they're behind the c of g, I suppose must push the tail down and the nose up under power. I'll watch out when I eventually get a chance to maiden mine, and incorporate the suggested mix if the behaviour is a problem. Thanks too to Ingolf Steffensen 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william forster Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 I flew mine last week it is very fast !! and sits really nicely when flying straight and level I made a skid to rest on as I was worried about the durability of the fins. The comments re the elevator throttle mix is very useful as when throttle is closed there is a significant pitch change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just building mine and oh my gosh what an incredible job you've done there. How did you get that amazing finish? I mean it might be a bit shinier than a battle worn A10, but it looks outstanding!

william forster Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 It is covered in grey film from Hobbyking, the painted parts of the nacelles are from a Tamiya rattle can. The decals are from the E Flite A10 they can be obtained as a spare part. Pilot is from Motion RC Hope this helps, Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HENRY GELSTHORPE Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Hi,Just wondering, if you could use 2 tractor propellers in lieu of ducted fans. Should make a more efficient use of battery power, would there be changes required to the airframe to still be aerodynamically viable?

Martin McIntosh Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Hi Henry, there is little space between the d/f pods and the fus. to fit props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
