[QUOTE=TBrum;1651977][COLOR="blue"][B]A little update!![/B][/COLOR]
* The front cannon is reinforced with Hysol / CF
* I checked the elevators and the geometry on Sandro's A10 is great - the servos are very effective, no slop, no mushiness and you can not counter the elevator servo inputs :yo:
* We have (2) gyros in this - rudder and nose-gear.  I added a third for ailerons after some feedback other A10 owners provided to Sandro
* Battery charge leads are routed to the front hatch for convienient changing
* I got a 2S-1000 Lipo from Sandro and installed it for the lighting system.
* The landing gear has been increased in air pressure for a bit stiffer suspension.

1) Assemble it somewhere and check control throws
2) Run each turbine individually and then "Y" connect them to the Rx and do a shakedown together :yikes:
3) Do a gyro check.
4) If all checks out, install dashpanel, cockpit, operable canopy and charge batteries for the maiden :rock:
 
Not sure when the maiden is gonna happen, but I'm hopeful very soon :):):)[/QUOTE]

Re: Skymaster A10 / Twin Cheetahs

Sorry Michel... I don't understand your question about the pipes. These are the stock Skymaster pipes (not Tams). The weight is pretty negligible because the pipes are only 8-10" long.

Hey Trev

Part of a successful flying plane, and keeping it consistant, attributes to the builders qualities aswell.

Thanks for setting up a "TANK" of a machine!!!

It really hustles along and crazy presence in the air, especially with all the armament on the bottom. Sandro got in flight 5, 6 and 7 today and all is going well.

Sorry for the amateur video and really bummed I sorta missed the landing

Congrats Sandro - you're one hell of a pilot

Have to make it no Private

Trevor,
if you submerge it in hot water won't the airframe regain its shape? like with foam?
