😂awesome video thanks for sharing once again! This is probably the only plane I’ve seen you not land consistently like a butterfly with sore feet. That said the way you’re stalling her tells me you’re not far from the best landings ever. Thanks for showing your growing pains with your incredible work of art in the sky. I’ve learned throttle management, advanced aerodynamics and so much more through watching some of your many videos. I’ll save the “this is how you do it” speech for someone else who can fly jets as well or better than you do 😂
@Hype_RC Thank you for the big words of praise! Indeed, I ran into some setup issues, which led me to butcher the landings when coming in really slow as I'm used to. I have mostly worked it out already, though, and it will show in upcoming A-10 videos! ^^
@@RC4ever you Better! I’d expect nothing less from the guru himself. Honestly I really appreciate how your constantly on the edge of falling out of the sky and use speed , wind , momentum, gravity etcetera to perform your flights. It’s a level of skill most of us only dream of
Hi, this is probably the best acrobatic flying of the FW A-10. I own the plane myself and absolutely love it. For the landings she needs a little power and you grease the landing every time. I flare her approximately the last 15m before touchdown - all good. My CG is about 86 instead of 78mm behind the wing edge. Br, Spcboarder PS: I upgraded to the new Freewing 80mm EDF's and it is a huge improvement in power and some improvement in efficiency. Supporting brace of nose Gear is a good and easy to fulfil mod.
Have to land these bad boys with power, flaps down, and fly it level downward with a last second nose flair slightly up so the mains touch first. Don't nose them downward, that will stop almost all bouncing. Great flight and an awesome plane, love mine.
@skeley1 Thanks! I didn't nose it down though, it just stalled. Too nose heavy and too stiff nose gear spring. I've since sorted it with softening the spring and moving CG back. ;)
@SONICBOOM-117 That's awesome! Hope you enjoy it a lot! Mind about the nose gear spring though, it's too stiff and produces bounces. It pays off to soften it up and install nozzles with a proper thrustline. Using a more neutral CG also helps. If you run it too nose heavy, you can loose elevator control on approach as you see happening to me on this video.
@@RC4ever I was gonna ask you about that. Knowing you and Jon are masters at landing I figured something wasn’t set right. Glad to know these things. Soften and neutral cg. Noted. Thanks ace I appreciate it.
@SONICBOOM-117 Don't forget the thrustline too! ☝🏼 Really worth printing a couple of new nozzles to get it fixed. You can find stl files already designed for that ;)
Enhorabuena!! He disfrutado de tu vuelo! Es pec ta cu lar 🤣 me encanta como mueves los aviones en el aire 👍🏼 tengo que ver más videos (como había dicho en pasado ) para inspirarme. Me está gustando un Mirage 80 que compré casi regalado y tengo también los F-16 en 64/70 y ahora 90 (und FW V1 nuevo antiguo) que también deberían poder volar similar si el piloto pudiese 🤣 Esos Slow rolls son nada más con alerones o también con rudder? Los aterrizajes muy complicados y gracias por la explicación! Interesante el ambos fenómenos… y aterrizar con más velocidad y más horizontal no sirve? Debe ser difícil entonces hacerlo frenar y que no vuelva a despegar. Yo tengo un Viper 70 y a pesar de ya tener práctica de aterrizajes con varios otros modelos tuve aterrizajes horribles por los rebotes en los primeros vuelos. Pero en césped es parece peor pq el jet se gira y algo se le quiebra 🤣 al final por tinto le hice un Stall down Wind cerca del sol y no alcanzó a recuperarlo… ahora está en el taller pero estaba casi deshecho 🤣
Gracias! Slow rolls siempre con corrección de timón. Si son rápidos es otra historia. ( : Aterrizando más rápido la cosa iba mejor pero lo fundamental era atrasar un poco el CG y aflojar la tensión del muelle del tren delantero. Ahora aterriza mucho mejor, ya lo verás en los próximos vídeos... No oigo más que maravillas del Mirage de 80mm, disfrútalo! :D
@M4rkmcc21 Thanks Mark! I use a couple, my favourite is a simple cross-strapped harness from Lindinger.at, but the clamps are too thick and don't freely rotate, which make it wrird to use on my Jeti Tx, but works perfect for T8UP and Taranis. For the Jeti, I use (ironically) an FrSky branded cross strap with leather finish. Works well but it is more cumbersome to use than the Lindinger one. This one is starting to degrade though, from sun exposure I guess, and leaves black residue, so I'll probably order a proper custom harness from Revoc soon.
Nice video landing was well it landed Didnt care for flying stlye for this jet at all But thats what makes us all different .Yes i have one for years Fly it scale 5000 have fun
El vecino al que le compré el Mirage tb tiene este A10 y también las góndolas para pasarlo a 90mm. Pero queda quizás muy pesado? Parece que el que lo vuela se enamora 🤣
How in the world did you get that much flying time on a 6S 4400mAh battery setup? I use 5200mAh batteries and always land with 8% battery left after three minutes of conservative flying. Are those Li-Ion batteries? Because that might be the reason. Otherwise, you are either lying to us or you own the best battery packs in the world. On another note, you can't glide this jet to the ground. That's one of the reasons it bounces so violently when it touches down. You need to bring it down with power all the way and technically fly it to the ground. Search for an old MotionRC video on this jet in which Pilot Ryan advised getting their up-and-down main landing gear shocks upgrade. He advised either having all the landing gear be up-and-down shocks or having them all be trailing shocks to avoid that terrible bouncing tendency. I picked the up-and-down shocks for mine, and the problem was solved. Thumbs up for your video 👍🏾😁 Have a great rest of your weekend...👍🏾 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵🌵👍🏾😁🇵🇷 Like#8 P.S.

Thanks for the kind words! I may well be owning some of the best packs in the world indeed... 😁 Definitely not Li-Ion. I use the SMC HCL HVP 6S 4400mAh for this one, I always list my gear in the video description BTW ;) But a great deal of the trick is that I fly with very conscious throttle and energy management. I don't use any more throttle than I need to. The A-10 glides fantastically, so it lends itself to this sort of feats. I like to remind people that drag increases with speed squared and power consumption with the cube of speed. Just flying a tad faster requires ludicrous amounts of extra power, so keeping your jet at around the optimal speed is paramount to achieve long flights without taxing the batts too much. As for the bouncing, I mostly solved it already by softening the nose gear spring and moving CG further back. Landing with throttle is a problem ATM because of the terrible stock thrustline, I gotta get that fixed yet!
