Thank you for this. The squadron is very near and dear to my heart. I grew up in Greenfield, IN, they used to fly over my house at tree top level. The pilots would actually wave back at me. Great looking Warthog.
The A-10 is one of my favorite planes. I’m going to say this one is a hum dinger! Also you need to be careful taking all of those stabs. One could get cut
Jonathan thanks So Much for this Build of Our Foot Soldiers favorite Jet Aircraft. Too Bad Our Dumb Generals retired the BlackSnake from Fort Wayne,IN. I miss them everyday not seeing them in the Air. The F16 replacement we Never See them at All. 😢😭😥😤
Hi there. Usually see your videos and they are awesome and instructional. But I have a question, i recently bought a skymaster viper jet 2.0m wingspan but manual says CG is in front of the main spar. Where do I have to measure? From the center of the tube or in front of the tube. Thanks and keep up the good work and contents
Thanks. The viper jet will have a very wide range for CG. I would check out some build threads for this aircraft for correct CG location that others are suggesting. The manual is often wrong or very conservative. If it says front of wing tube than that's the loacation of CG that they are suggesting.
It,s gotta be said the A10 looks good in any scheme but the Snake is a Master class in an Epic a Scheme. 😊😊😊 Dang that's a lot of weaponry 😮. Right NEXT. Keep at it now. 😂
Because there are always little differences and opinions on what they cost. When I give a figure like this aircraft will cost 25-27K to build as is, many comment and say "thats stupid! I built mine for 23,500k". So I just don't bother.
So love your channel, but can you explain if these planes are customer planes that you set up for them? You may have explained this already but just curious.
Another Beauty! And UNLIKE the F-14, this bird has very little weathering and very little panel lines, done, much more realistic looking, (IMO). Can't wait to see this in the air too.
Could be, like most of these models the main cost are the engines and electronics, but then all the pieces like air systems etc build up in cost too. The kit prices seem to vary a lot depending on make quality size and features, but you can buy one for around 1700.

This was actually my baby as a crew cheif before it went to Arizona. Had my name on it and everything. Kit looks amazing and exactly like it.
Super cool! Great memories!

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching! That's a great memory!
Shes a real beauty! The gray does look a little darker although on my T-One A-10 it was a little darker.
Yea I think it is but looks great!!!
That is one sweet looking kit and the paint scheme WOW.
Thanks! They did a great job on this one!
The A-10 is one of my favorite planes. I’m going to say this one is a hum dinger! Also you need to be careful taking all of those stabs. One could get cut
😂I see what you did there!
Man you got a lot of irons in the fire! Wish I had that kind of time :)
Haha. Yes, lots of projects on the go!
That paint scheme looks amazing 😍
I think so too! Mean looking!
That color scheme is really sweet ❤
Agreed! Great rendition of the snake scheme!
Gorgeous bird!
Thanks Bill! The new scheme looks mean!!!!
How good is that paint! So sharp! I love the detail like the rivets and panel lines that you only see when the camera gets up close.
Thanks! Yea they did a great job on this one! I think they nailed the snake scheme.
Great work man! Huge respect and keep the hard work going!
Appreciate it! Thank you!
Nice looking bird that I'd love to see a photo that standing next to the F14 that would give us a rather interesting contrast to the to giants
Great idea! I can probably arrange that when we get progressing on the F14

Thanks Gregory! An absolute Beauty and MEAN looking!
I went to school for aviation maintenance and it has always been my dreaam to work on one of these bad boys
Nice!!! Thanks for watching!
i so want one i LOVE A-10's
The snake version is darn sweet!
Awesome Mr. J. Does.the gun comes offset on the fuselage like the real ones?
Oh Yea! Gun offset and nose leg offset. Just like the full size.

Dibs on the bball hat!😬
Haha.
i love the A10's the one aircraft that the air force has tried to replace but can't
Totally! The flying tank is very accurate! Hard to replace that!
It,s gotta be said the A10 looks good in any scheme but the Snake is a Master class in an Epic a
Scheme. 😊😊😊 Dang that's a lot of weaponry 😮. Right NEXT. Keep at it now. 😂
Thanks Nick! Yea this A10 is BAD A$$!
This scheme is cool, but my favorite is the 107th Fighter Squadron’s 100th anniversary scheme :)
Ahh very cool! One of the things I like about this scheme is the visibility while flying!
If I remember correctly your gray was a bit lighter than the factory paint. You're going to have a busy winter/spring!
Yea! Now that I looked at pictures it’s substantially different.
I went to the SkyMaster website, but do not see the Black Snake scheme. Is this scheme very new?
Custom scheme. Have to request it.
Am I seeing this correctly. "Fast Wayne" on the verticals ??
🤔
Flew gliders at Cowley.
Nice!
how come you never put like a MSRP on here? i understand there are always little differences.

@@thelightersideofrc oh ok I didnt think like that for a price but that sure is a good looking plane, ever do a F-4 I worked on them at SJAFB
@bigguy5155 yea did a pair of them in a build series last year. There is a large F4 coming up in the near future.
@@thelightersideofrc ok I'll watch for it
I would love to do a twin someday😊
Such a sweet sound when they are both fired up and you can here the twins! So cool!
On the verticals, does that say “Fast Wayne”?
🤔
I would have to have you fix that. I know SkyMaster’s nomenclature is often misspelled and frequently illegible, but that would be too much for me.
So love your channel, but can you explain if these planes are customer planes that you set up for them? You may have explained this already but just curious.
Most of the builds I do are for customers. If it's for me, I mention it.
my dream. but too expensive and too complicated 😍
You can do it!
Didn't u already do an A-10 already
You bet! last year we took a Gen 1 A10. Painted it black snakes scheme and re fit it with all new equipment. Last new build was about 2.5 years ago.
@@thelightersideofrc is this a commission for someone else or for yourself
Another Beauty! And UNLIKE the F-14, this bird has very little weathering and very little panel lines, done, much more realistic looking, (IMO). Can't wait to see this in the air too.
Thanks a lot!
ITS NOT A DOLL, ITS AN A-10 PILOT!
HAHA. YES!!!
Nice kit but whatever happened to actually building something? Anyone can put this together
YES! You should put one together as well! 😎
What’s the all in cost on something like this? $10k?
Could be, like most of these models the main cost are the engines and electronics, but then all the pieces like air systems etc build up in cost too. The kit prices seem to vary a lot depending on make quality size and features, but you can buy one for around 1700.
???@@marksapollo
Final build would be in the range of 24k to 28k. Depending on options and equip choices.
who buys these things?
Rc jet pilots!
