Here’s my new A-10 warthog just completed and the F4-U Corsair I’m building. The A-10 is my first ducted fan plane so I’m excited to see how it does. I expect to “mod” it for Colorado’s altitude. I got the A-10 kit from NitroPlanes and while the parts are a bit cheezy, the foam construction is very good.
I’m also very excited about my F4-U Corsair. Debi got this plane for me years ago, and I’ve been frustrated about not getting it built – I plan to have it flying by next month! It calls for a .40 size engine so of coarse I’m installing a .60 MDS or a .70 Supertigre so it should scoot around just fine. More to come.
Just bought this Lipo Cut-off module: http://www.dimensionengineering.com/LipoShield.htm
I tried to fly the A-10 today and as expected it was underpowered for Denver’s altitude. My next step is to use a LiPo 3-cell battery with a Battery Cut-off module to prevent LiPo damage from over-discharge. http://www.espritmodel.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=4383
