A-10 Crash !!! Flying to low and slow this was all that was needed to crash the A-10. I can say that I did stall the wing and with very little airflow over the wing on my base turn on final to land - the aircraft was in the beginnings of a spin. With only about 50 feet off the ground and no real way of getting out of the start of a spin - crashed at the south end on the runway. What you see above is what is left of Model I. Note: I will use these fins on Model III of the next A-10 I build for luck ! 03/07/01 The "Phoenix" - - Well almost !! Your going to like this. When I scrach build I make two. I think about it this way. If you got the plans, balsa, and some time why not make a back-up. So without any delay to my upcoming warbird fly-in this spring. By this weekend I will be flying A-10 II. She will be powered by the same O.S. 40 SF - but this time I will remember not to get her to slow.
Were flight ready..It's time to kick the tires and light the fire !!!!! See you at the field.. Raymond Cervantes |

payload.
