[@aaronl_trains_and_planes]

I can't wait for the weatgher vid and a vid of this thing flying around. It is huge! Can't wait! Oh, awesome job BTW!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Aaron!

[@s9523pink]

Another excellent build and I learned about the use of safety wire to secure my pilot figures; wonderful!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Awesome! Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching!

[@Nothinglefttosay]

I use Velcro.. too bulky

[@davidsnyder238]

We have to watch giving those magwi water after midnight! Glad you got the gremlins out. No two builds are ever alike and always a learning experience. I appreciate you taking us on that journey! Excited for you and the new house!

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Totally! Thanks for watching David!

[@diquadhumungersaur492]

there's a special chip to make the pilots head move randomly.!! I am both amazed and amazed with equal levels of amazement. 1,that initially somebody decided yes that is something I want and need... and 2, that it is purchase for anybody else with same thought.. we humans are awesome,genuinely.. :-)

[@thelightersideofrc]

Totally! The level of tech and ingenuity is so cool!

[@dinozuzic1765]

What an awesome looking airplane. Thank you for taking us on this journey.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching Dino!

[@victorrcjets7660]

Nice work as always 👏

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you!😊

[@MegaGuppy01]

Another fantastic build, first the f15 and the A10 two of my favourite jets. Great work.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@RCPMK]

I love turbines. Not sure if I would build a heli, jet, or turboprop. Great build. Lots of stuff in there lol

[@thelightersideofrc]

They are all fun in their own way! Can go wrong with any of those. Thanks for watching!

[@RCPMK]

@@thelightersideofrc I fly scale heli and would be nice to get more than 6 minutes of flight time and battery swaps are a pain. Plus the awesomeness of start up and scale sound

[@halroofner4069]

Thanks for the video Jon. The A-10 turned out great! Excellent work.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you! We didn't finish it in time to maiden it this season unfortunately but if we get a break in the winter me still might get it out. Thanks for watching!

[@Gavs_rc_hobbies]

Can't wait to see it in the air. 👌🏻👍🏻

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! Should fly like a treat! Thanks for watching!

[@pm1104]

What work of art ….well done !

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks!😎

[@l.rod2827]

Thats badass, great project. You definitely know your stuff. A10 Warthog is so awesome to see when you need airsupport.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 😊. Appreciate it!

[@MaxSupercars]

Nice done! Great work! Looking forward for maiden! 😊

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! If we get a bit of a break in winter cold we may still get the maiden complete this season! Fingers Crossed!

[@geoffreyvanvugt8179]

Great build as always Jonathan.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Geoffrey!

[@DadsRCHangar]

I do love that cockpit, just some small fixes as you say, but you done a great job 👍🏻

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it!😊

[@iamtedg]

Such a cool airplane! I hope we get to see it fly in Bawlf!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Ted! You bet! 2 Wings or 2 engines!!!

[@uh.videosig8515]

Man I wish I could afford all that

[@thelightersideofrc]

Ya it's Pricey but fun!😎

[@jeremyfackender8454]

Share video of the garage build too!!! About to start my garage/hangar build.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Jeremy! Will do! Congratulations! Thats very exciting!😎

[@DetoursRC]

Thats soo awesome. Cool to see/hear the engines run. Id love to have an a10 like that just to have it around and look at it! Umx a10 will have to do for now. Lol

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks David! Twin's alway sound sooooo good!

[@2strokeme64]

That thing would be sick with a digital fpv and head tracker installed!! Talk about an imersive experience

[@thelightersideofrc]

agreed! That would be pretty dang cool!

[@WalterMitty1966]

Hi Jon , Very nicely done ! Hate chasing gremlins , had a real fish eying problem in my factory ..... Flipping welder had sprayed Silicone , on a joint !!!! Really screwed production up !! She has been Hung , Drawn and Quartered now , so all is good again !! Cheers Homeless Canuk , lol ATB Phil

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Phil! Yea that crap is frustrating!

[@IansRCExploits]

Well it's a fantastic large scale Jet, love the cockpit detail and the pilot looking around, shame about the little niggles your having slowing the completion down!! But if anyone can sort it out it's you and your methodical approach!! Great job Jonathon 😄👍

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Ian! The icing on the cake will be when the weathering is completed! Thanks for watching!

[@helischorsch9786]

Beautiful plane, but do like electric gear instead air cylinder operated ones. I know weight might be better on those, but air is a beast and leaks will occur…hopefully not while flying🍀…beside the pilot is cool and the plan is waiting for weathering 🍺…cheers from Munich

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea unfortunately with these skymaster kits and the scale gear air is the only option. Your absolutely correct! Hopefully NOT While flying!

[@remicallant8756]

Very interesting work, I wonder how many hours you have to spend to build such a complex jet, I wish you and your family all the best in the new location and hope that I also get more courage to go further flying whit my jets because of illness, I am still building every day, new on a glider from 5m span. Hope to see you very soon back on the channel, you are a wonderful person !!!!!!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Remi for the kind words and for watching! Appreciate it!😊

[@clubaeromodelismograncanaria]

👏👏👏

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you!😊

[@alvgeirsteganehauge6999]

You are an amazing model airplane builder! How much does such a model cost when it is completely finished? Good luck with the new house !! Keep up!😃😃

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for the compliment! I appreciate it!😊. This once complete is about $25,000.00. There are lots of factors that can modify that price by a few thousand in each direction but that's close. Thanks for watching the build of the Plane and House!

[@philippebaudon]

canopy....check ! head of the pilot....check ! you have a door for the front gear, not for the main gear ? we can see a little bit the wheels when it's gear up ? as usual, awesome.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hello Philippe. Yea the only air operated gear door is the front one. On the mains, one is attached to the legs and one is hinged and attached to the leg with connecting rods. Thanks for watching!

[@timburns379]

Just to let you know the A-10 ejection seat does NOT have a “D” ring between his legs. Just 2 handles on each side of the seat. If you are wanting accuracy remove it

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Tim. Yea i'm sure it's just a generic design that Skymaster follows for all their aircraft. Thanks for that gem of advice!😊

[@timburns379]

I worked Ejection Systems for 21 years. From F-4 to F-22 T-33 to T-38 even the venerable B-52. BYW the parachute harness is wrong too

[@stevemclaughlin2393]

Well at least it's not complicated... 🤔🧠🥇

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Thanks Steve!😂

[@bonesshed.]

Do the fans on the front affect airflow to the engine at all ? Theyre just free spinning in the airflow right ?

[@thelightersideofrc]

I don’t think there would be any effect. Yes they just spin freely on bearings

[@bonesshed.]

@@thelightersideofrc Thank you. BTW, your A10 looks awesome !! I made this recently, you might like :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGGsd42Nqaend7M&ab_channel=Bones

Hi Jonathan Like how you build the Jets. Ever thought of making them a little more longer ? So Sad to see you in the Doghouse camper! Any words about the Jet Shop building? May I as something about the Hurracon Engine? Well you and Family take Care. When you think about lawn next Year. Let me know has some news.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hey Gregory! Thanks 😊. This dang Huracan is much longer! Need some new shop space to go any bigger! Stay tuned for the next video on Friday!😉

[@gregoryh4601]

@@thelightersideofrc Jonathan a Silly question on the JET shop? Could you Reach out to a Shed builder and have them build you a Barn style Shed for Now ? Here in America they build some big Sheds! Just a Thought here in America anything with Concrete we have to pay Taxes on it. I have seen a 14x 40 barn style shed and there not bad in Price. Maybe you can rent until money builds up. This way you can put the Swiwin 400 in the Next Build hehehehehe.

[@thelightersideofrc]

I’ve priced out a bunch of alternatives and there are many factors we are dealing with right now which we are still dealing with on the house build. Cost of materials. Because our winters get so cold here I also need to think about it being as energy efficient as possible. The pole barn idea was something we checked into as well. Unfortunately $$$$$ pricey here.

[@gregoryh4601]

@@thelightersideofrc Jonathan cut lose the Fund Raise to us so we can help. You are to Good of a Jet builder to slow you Down? In Canada do you have Solar Companies to help you? Jonathan maybe do a Jet giveaway to you Jet Club to help finish you house ? Or a lottery if you Buy so many Tickets to win one of your Jets? Sorry about your Jet. lol. I just try to help. . Well reply if you need something! I try the best. My sailplane training is coming along, but cold weather to is coming. Bye. See the video Friday.

id bet you coulda bought a small cesna and got your pilots lic for the price of this RC

[@thelightersideofrc]

Absolutely! But the thought of flying a little cesna around doesn't give me the fun factor that these things do!

[@MrFishface5]

do you charge people a flat fee to build a aircraft or do you charge by the hour?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hello John. I prefer to do a flat rate. That way they know what to expect when it’s done.

[@Horus2Osiris]

Wtf? Flying the behemoth? When, boy!?!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Spring! We still have to weather the aircraft!

[@Horus2Osiris]

Great project, you got me excited! Spring is March? April? Just kidding, I'll wait patiently.

Haha. Sometimes March. Sometimes May.

[@ernestomoreno6814]

Hi you can build any model of turbine-powered aircraft

[@thelightersideofrc]

Probably. No all aircraft are available in a kit format.

[@ernestomoreno6814]

@@thelightersideofrc Which one would you recommend that is ready to fly

[@thelightersideofrc]

That’s a very broad question! Coming soon I’ll do a “so you want to get into jets” video. That will probably answer some of your questions
