[@tbobborap1]

thanks jon, awesome model m8

[@brianfitzgerald6142]

My favorite plane expertly modeled and flown. It totally looks and sounds like the real thing and was flown accordingly. Fantastic job!!

[@justanotherguy469]

Thank you for providing all of that information.

[@michaelalexander917]

Just beautiful. Sir, I am almost certain that you stare at this wonderful work of technical art every night before going to bed.

[@tbobborap1]

[@tbobborap1]

[@modernschoolatlas]

Fabulous, and lovely flying. Well done.

[@tbobborap1]

thanks anyoldion

[@modernschoolatlas]

Is that a tomcat patch on the pilot's left shoulder?

[@josephguske6961]

Wow...just WOW! Beautiful aircraft, and superb scale piloting. PLUS (the usual) equally superb camera work... Thanks Pete!

[@tbobborap1]

many thanks joseph

[@larsrosing5033]

With all that exactly to scale, i wonder why the cockpit isn't?? Beautyfull aircraft and well made!

[@captapraelium1591]

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!

[@tbobborap1]

i wish - lol

[@Onkelrico]

tbobborap1 nothing a speaker can’t fix....😉

[@CaptHog]

Great looking Warthog and setup with the Spoilerons... but what's up with the cockpit? That instrument panel looks so weird.

[@RCHeliJet]

*Fantastic Video, thumb up.*

[@Timsfpvshow]

Absolutely amazing plane. Thanks for sharing

[@Sketcher728]

Very nice camera work and an awesome model. Any chance on details of how he did the decelerons?

[@chriscobb4111]

That tail number looks very familiar. Nice model for sure

[@THEFINALHAZARD]

How do you even fly one of these out of curiosity? Do you have like a camera in the plane with a screen on the control? Or do these have to be flown with just the reference from what you see of where the plane is from your position?

[@Konjiki-Yasha]

So beautiful and clean😍😍

[@tbobborap1]

Thank you! 😊

[@bearnicholas3830]

Beautiful Build!!!!!!!

[@tbobborap1]

thanks m8

[@S700KYFPV]

What a work of art!

[@AtomicNinja77]

very nice I saw the A10 and had to stop by good video.

[@tbobborap1]

thanks mvp

[@jim6265]

Beautiful job!! I love giant scale simply because it offers more than the shape of a specific aircraft. My questions are, how much of this is kit, is it all scratch built, if so, where do you get plans for such planes? I'm pretty sure the 3 large combat aircraft makers wont release them!!

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

jim h. This isn't built from plans for the full size plane. These are usually built from plans made from 3 view drawings, which are really available.

[@michaelmoore3479]

How fast is at A-10 go? My F-15C is, I think, 1/5 scale & it's got an 90mm EDF and it'll do 90 mph clean.

[@georgewatts9361]

Awesome, wing loading looks super light.

[@tbobborap1]

thanks george

[@UOO303T]

Just seen this one. Wot a Fantastic plane

[@matthewbrothers2823]

That thing is a beast!

[@tbobborap1]

thanks matt

[@michaelyates4646]

What a model.

[@tbobborap1]

thanks mick

[@abbeyglencircle]

Did i missed something? Where is the gun smoke?

[@TheWillsulla]

Really terrific

[@tbobborap1]

thanks will

[@kemots455]

And again more real than real one!

[@dan4466]

kemots full scale not “ real ones”. This is a real airplane just much smaller than a full scale.

[@NMdesertracer]

Awesome!

[@bearnicholas3830]

The Fairchild company definitely got it right. and ofc GE...(gau8A and engines)

[@tbobborap1]

sure did bear

[@MasterMayhem78]

Rad!

[@tbobborap1]

thanks

[@tanglediver]

Remain calm, and BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!!!

[@jonassauro4256]

esse senhor se sente uma criança com seu brinquedo

[@teretz571]

thunderbolt? maybe a warthog?

[@josephguske6961]

Alex mackenzie both applicable. My understanding is, the Thunderbolt moniker is the official title, paying homage to the P-47. Warthog was given to the INCREDIBLE AIRCRAFT, by pilots, crew, and the troops for who she provides close air support. Am I correct?

[@tbobborap1]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Republic_A-10_Thunderbolt_II

[@tbobborap1]

thanks joseph

[@SwitchRod]

I thought I had it right. Hadn't seen the Wikipedia page, but saw a Military Channel report long ago. Yea, I still have some recollection capability left. Thanks Pete

[@teretz571]

thanks just learnt somethiing we are never too old eh/

[@fredglotz2826]

Wonderful beauty and statement of mans knowledge of techno may we learn to use it for peaceful means great to see in real life also, to think the nuts wanted to axe it !

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

why dont you just call it 1/6

[@SpeccyMan]

Because it is bigger perhaps?

[@tomrisar5492]

It's a huge 6x monster with 300 ft wingspan

[@tbobborap1]

who cares ?

[@tomrisar5492]

Apparently the Germans do

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

johnny llooddte because it's not 1/6. Why is that confusing?

[@billflynn4602]

Somebody has alot of money

[@oldfrend]

jesus it's almost big enough to just shove an M134 minigun into the nose.

[@thatfeeble-mindedboy]

Expert pilot - beautiful plane

[@wedgie502]

Looks great, except for the navy f-14 patch on the pilot while the a-10 is an air force only bird.
