Aeronaut Plane FAIRCHILD A10 with GFK-R. 1.310mm Span # 133401 **
This model-like replica of a US fighter aircraft is a fascinating and unusual aircraft in many ways. It's not a “sprinter” but has other benefits that were more important to our choice. Above all, the large wing volume and the twin-engine concept created good conditions for a low wing loading, combined with a very good engine. Our A-10 was designed to be powered by 2 “Race 400 plus” motors, fed by an 8-9 cell battery up to 1.8 Ah. As an option there is the equipment with 2 impellers, Turbo-Fan 1000, for the Mabuchi motor class 540 BBVZ in series, with 14 NC cells 1200mA, size P-90. The model is controlled via elevator and ailerons, sensitive speed control is a must here. Flight characteristics can be described as completely uncritical, whereby the model can also be flown relatively quickly. The standard version of the model includes a strong undercarriage that makes ground starts easy on a hard slope. Hand starts are also not a problem. For this “operating mode”, the model without chassis, but with a recessed grip, is better. The model is available in two variations: 1. completely in wood construction (body + rib surfaces) 2. with GRP body and rib surfaces
