I have always built my models and fly using Futaba radios I have come across a nice A10 Warthog which is tempting me .I believe it comes with a Spektrum receiver. What would I need to do in order to fly with my trusty Futaba 10 CG Would just changing the receiver do the trick? Cheers

Many thanks folks….just waiting for better weather now😀

As a point of interest you say that I should divide the amp reading by 4,does that apply to the Watt reading as well?

Smart looking model!

The two out board nacelles are 14” apart and the inboard nacelles are about 10”. hmm I will have to think about this. Thanks for the heads up.

It flies well enough with the set up of 5x3 props,I was hoping for a bit more by putting 6X4 props on. Hence the question to the forum.

Many thanks guys. I have built a flying wing

Advice requested for the following i I am building a 4 motor set up and when trying out have the following results set up as follows 4XA2212/6T motors props. 6X4 ESC 4 off bog standard 40 Amp unbranded ( from China) battery 3700 3 s wheh hooked up to a watt meter here are the results A 63. W 570. V 11.1 an I right In thinking that I need 80 A ESC’s Any comments and advice great fully received

Sorted out the problem by making a scale Chuck glider out of depron, scaling at 1” to 1 cms. Tried that until I had a nice glide. meant that I had to move the CG position by approx 1in h forward. Model now flies stable and slow..Picture shows both together. many thanks to all who put forward suggestions.

I put 3mm washers to create down thrust,I think I will add a few more. Could it be that the motor/prop set up is too powerful, as it flies better at just over a quarter throttle. I am getting more used to flying this model, but of I whack open the throttle it goes up like a homesick angel.

Do you mean the thrust centre line, rather than the CG? That might be an idea to try….thanks

I have introduced some down thrust,but it hasn’t made that much difference,so I will try the throttle/elevator mix. I have used the wing beds(see photo) to make a Chuck glider and have a good cg position as this glides on a good slope that is why I will try the program mixes which has been suggested.I will report back when I get the chance to try it out. Many thanks for all the suggestions so far

Still don’t get it…….Have I wandered on to a different thread?
