    MORE A-10 BUILDS!!!!!!!!! Hands down, the most BEAUTIFUL aircraft in the skies. Anyone who disagrees is just an ignorant heathen. My only issue is that it REALLY needs development of an efficient electric ducted fan system. Seeing an A-10 with props out front breaks my heart. The "gun" was spot on though. Even the sound was pretty freaking close to the real thing.

  • @michael1234252
    @michael1234252 Před 3 lety +1

    You know the A-10 is also one of my all time fave planes. I remembered this so fondly: about 15 years ago my parents and I was at a "BIG" local art show and I saw within a booth that had a painting/sketch of the plane. at the time I saw it I begged and screamed at my mom to get it for me but my mom kept telling me no. But the Artist who did that painting/sketch actually told me "You know what I'll let you have it for free." since then it as been hanging up on my bedroom wall right next to my bed and I would always wake up to see it. But since I moved to a new house it's been in a box in the garage for the past 3 years. With all my Aviation and the A-10 love stems down to my Step-Grandfather who was an Aviation Mechanic for Lockheed Martin I think. But whenever I was staying at his house for the summer 20 years ago he had a bunch of Airplane models around the house along with a big woodworking room.

    • @josepharthurl2191
      @josepharthurl2191 Před 3 lety

      It's a "plank" airframe, see Strix Goblin. Or a wing, rectangular instead of delta, or flying tail. Search for wind-tunnel videos of various airframe designs, some use smoke to demonstrate how the airflow creates lift where it's hard to imagine as compared to a type of airframe we're more familiar with.

    Classic theory of aerodynamics - with enough power you can make anything fly!

    In Germany we have a saying that translates to something like "since when does the tail wag the dog?". Dunno if that's a thing in the U.S., but that's what I was thinking when you tested the rear servos!

  • @aliberkozderya3112
    @aliberkozderya3112 Před 3 lety +3

    You probably already know this but the way the elevator is hinged puts the most possible load on the servo. Ideally it should be hinged from the middle so when it is deflected half the elevator area will be under the hinge while the other half is above it so that the forces on the two halves will create torque in opposite directions and counteract each other

    • @joshuamelvin
      @joshuamelvin Před 3 lety +1

      You 100% right. Next time for sure.

    • @CallSignVMan
      @CallSignVMan Před 3 lety +1

      Or just add a mass balance on a stick toward the front of the elevator, ahead of the hinge line. Also simple.

  • @kevinshen9391
    @kevinshen9391 Před 3 lety

    What you could do to help with the elevator problem is to have the hinge line farther back in relation to the CG of the elevator so the servo doesn't have to constantly be holding the elevator up.
