The centerline tank is a fuel tank, The 3 green on the plyon are M82 iron bombs. The big green with the yellow nose are the cluster bombs. Man I love that plane.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! Yea it's such a darn cool scheme for the A10

[@RecklessGenesis]

i fly the real one :)

[@bertgarrisonrc]

Nice quick build series! I like it. That dry weight is awesome! The "Slats" on the A-10 are there to smooth the air over the wing at high AOA. This helps to prevent turbulent, separated air from entering the engine and possibly causing a flame out. Speaking of flame out, one of the cool features of the Jeti DS-24 is the "Stick Shaker" function. I bring this up because you can set up an alarm that shakes the sticks respectively left or right for a left or right flame out. It can be tough to hear a flame out on a twin. You may see the smoke trail but due to orientation, not be able to tell which motor. In a twin, timely flame out identification is crucial. I used it for the first time in my PC-21 because turbo prop flame outs maybe easy to see, but also hard to hear. Peace of mind thru Jeti tech!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! Yea that's the only thing I like to use the stick shaker for. Love the Jeti Tech for reasons just like you mention!

Wow, thank you!😎🙌

[@thesaltysergeant4103]

This makes me want to get back into RC planes again!!!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Do It!!!!

[@davidseoulbrutha5625]

Gorgeous rc plane! 👍👍👍Now imagine, to bring this rc into full representation of the actual jet that you could use the compressor to run a paintball system for the Vulcan to go along with the that "BRRRRRRTTTT!!!" and make the ordinance usable by filling them with flour so you can have visible ground impacts. So of course this would add extra overall weight and the need for a more powerful compressor and jets would be required. Also to save using fuel for taxiing use electric motors on the rear wheels. As expensive as this thing is I would want a FPV camera system than simply eyeballing it as many rc flyers do. Great video at putting it all together. Test run sounded great.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you very much and thanks for watching!

[@TheMichaelBeck]

Building something that awesome is beyond me. That being said, I could fly it. I'd put a head tracking FPV camera in it and fly it with my goggles. Beautiful aircraft, Sir! 👏👏👏

[@thelightersideofrc]

That would be cool! Thanks for watching!

[@iskoos]

Totally awesome. Your building technique is excellent. Because you are a perfectionist, you don't skip many details that most modellers out wouldn't even think about. I am a perfectionist too, though I still learn new things everytime I watch your videos. 😇 May I humbly suggest something? Would you consider (in the future) numbering your videos (in the video title) for each episode so we can follow them easily? Yes, your channel numbers them when you go there but it still bundles bunch of videos together. For example, in your A-10 series, there are two different builds. And when one follows them on KZbin (outside your channel), it gets so confusing sometimes because KZbin doesn't suggest the right one. And after the last video once you are finally done with the specific build, the whole series title can even be put in (x of y) format. That way when we start watching, we would know how many videos are involved in that specific build. Just a sugestion of course. Your videos are still awesome as they are. 👍 Thanks

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you for your kind words. Lately I have been adding video number to the description. Sometimes it doesn't work out to put it in the title. I have done so with the atom project. There are also playlists for each project that can be viewed on my channel and the video's are in order on the play lists.

[@chadfontaine2717]

That is awesome turned up to 11!

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Thanks!

[@briancrumpacker]

Amazing. I've always wondered through all of my years of glancing at the large scale RC planes. How can you spend all that time and energy building such a masterpiece, when it seems like it wouldn't take much larger of a scale for you to become payload. You know, to ensure that all of the systems are working properly during flight...

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Great question!

[@s9523pink]

Freakin amazing, just absolutely gorgeous!❤

[@thelightersideofrc]

[@MartialLoreNZ]

At some point with the engine warm up the pitch of the engine noise changes to match EXACTLY the pitch of my tinnitus and I can no longer hear it (the tinnitus). Fantastic!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Interesting! That must be weird feeling on your end?

[@shaunbitz3569]

Turned out absolutely amazing 😍👍

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks so much 😊

[@ZeroHero-33]

Id love to build one of these just to sit and stare at lol. I wouldnt have the stones to actually fly it haha

[@thelightersideofrc]

Big = Easy to fly!

[@topguncg47]

The leading edge forms you installed are call “slates”. They help when the plane is at slow speeds by giving it more lift.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks

[@lenn55]

Is there any tech that would allow someone to fly one of these RC planes via a flightsimulator setup instead of the standard handhelp controller? Maybe put a camera in the nose and sides and add a wireless connection to a flightsim setup. Just a thought.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Anything is possible. There are rules in place with FPV stuff and Turbine aircraft depending on where your located.

[@RockbeThyName]

Are the front Turbo Fans just spinning from the suction of the engines? If so that's so cool and ingenius!!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Exactly!

[@sailaway3930]

WOW I mean loss of words on that controller

Alot different than when I had a RC in 1988.😮

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. no kidding! A bit has changed!

[@oculusangelicus8978]

The A-10 represents death on swift wings for the most robust of ground forces, which are tanks and armored vehicles as well as Bunkers, So this Aircraft already has reputation and an unapologetic appearance that gave it the name "warthog." but in this black and Charcoal paint scheme with the Viper face paint makes this aircraft more beautiful AND menacing than it otherwise would already have intrinsically, which is then pushed over the top with the full array of ordinance this "Destroying Angel" brings with her. She is perhaps the single most Iconic aircraft in the arsenal of ground attack aircraft to ever have been made, and I hope that when this aircraft is replaced, that the replacement is just as menacing and carried a nod to the former aircraft that it replaced. You Have outdone yourself with this sweetheart of a build. great work and you certainly show that you are a very skilled and talented builder for such an incredible aircraft. everything about this Plane screams $$$$$ and you make it look as if it was built by Fairchild Republic themselves and ready to Rock and roll in the Scale world! Now someone needs to build a .22 LR gatling gun to fit this aircraft so she can attack ground targets on a range like in real life! LOL

[@thelightersideofrc]

Very well said! Many years from now there will be lots of soft spots in many people for the A-10. Like there is today for the F-4 and F-14's

[@crypkrazee]

Hope your bumper is ok {car} AWESOME BUILD

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. The turbine exhaust cools off quick

[@Krash_fpv]

This is how desensitized and spoiled we are from lighter side of rc....he builds such big projects and high dollar builds the skymaster a10 is just a quick side series(yes he's done one before and painTed the foam one) but we see so much insane builds that the a10 is just a quick build lol....love it because I'd never be exposed to builds like this besides at an event...aside from a couple rebels and a boomerang ranger and some varf vipers and an odyssey that's it for my area

7:43 The leading edge "things" are called "slats" the translator says. 😉 In german it's called "Vorflügel". They increases the lift by accelerating the air flow over the wing.

[@hubschenk1652]

Great jet! In Europe there is a problem with weight. From 24kg a model is treated like a normal aircraft. In Schweit, for example, an extensive (and expensive) approval by the Bazl (similar to FAA) would be required. Strength tests are then mandatory.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea our restrictions in Canada are currently very similar and in the USA there is a few different categories.

[@newagetemplar6100]

I have had an eberspacher diesel night heater that had made as much noise at night as those engines. 😂 Seriously though pretty coool stuff especially when you consider old RC tech from my era as a teenager in the 80’s . Wonder if is possible to emulate the sound of a Vulcan bomber with a scale model, ooooh that eerie sound was something to behold . ❤🇬🇧

Those front pieces on the wing you didn't know the name of are called slats if they move like flaps.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yes. These ones are fixed and not moveable like leading edge slats.

[@jeffjackson6358]

For your canopy opening. Do you set up a logic switch so it won't open while flying? Just incase you hit the open switch.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Can easily do a few different scenarios eg. Gear needs to be down, turbine at idle etc. It's setup on one of the rear switches which are difficult to access.

[@jeffjackson6358]

On mine I did gear down and airspeed below 10mph.

[@thelightersideofrc]

It's all systematically laid out with the final plan in my head.

[@johnd9357]

I have never seen an Rc turbine with what looks to be actual bypass fans in the front that actually rotate. Are they functional? Are they driven by the turbine shaft or just by the air moving past them. Either way, so cool.

[@thelightersideofrc]

It's a cool, unique feature on these A10 kits. They are functional but just move by air moving through them from the turbine. Helpful during cool down.

[@johnd9357]

@@thelightersideofrc very cool. Definitely adds to the realism!
