Chris,
Looking forward to your reports. The A-10 has always been
a favorite of mine ( but then again I think C-130's are awesome
too! :)

| Dan,
Right now, I feel like a kid at Christmas time. I intend to enter a
"kit report" after it arrives and have a chance to go through it. I'm
sure that chance will be immediately upon arrival!
Boy, am I in a good mood...

...Can't wait to hear how the first flight goes. I just can't imagine
what the sound of those two fans will be like screaming away.
...Just try not to think about the investment, Fans, Motors, Finishing
materials, PCM radio, Time...just have fun!
...Seriously, though...sounds like quite the project. Hope everything
builds well and your only troubles are trying to get the grin off your
face after that first successful flight. Keep us posted on the
progress.
Regards
Rod

| Rod, thanks for the words of encouragement.
I have already started pricing the fans, engines, et al.... It ain't
gonna be inexpensive - that's for sure!
I've wanted one for so long though that the cash outlay does'nt bother
me (except for the part where I explain it to my wife).
ETA on the kit is around July 10. Updates after that will probably be
infrequent unless I get the building bug real bad and time permits.
Ciao,

1671.5 | Rain...that's the ticket! | CTUADM::MALONE | Always Obtuse | Tue Jun 20 1995 18:49 | 9 |
| ....Pray for rain! That's what I did. Finally started on the Weekend,
have gotten a whole bunch of building/fixing done in the last couple
of eves.

| Chris,
Just thought I'd pop in here to let you know Dan and I saw a real live
A-10 up in the sky yesterday when we were motoring around on the
motorcycle in New Hampshire and Vermont. Not quite sure where we were
when we saw it, but I had to look up when I saw Dan looking up. Glad
he didn't get too involved in looking at it cause that would have meant
nobody was watching where we were going :)
Hope you had a safe 4th!

1671.7 | Serious case of A-10 bug | ANGLIN::SPOHR | | Wed Jul 05 1995 13:38 | 16 |
| Hi Lin,
It's all I can do to contain myself on this A-10. I have wanted one
for way too long.
Yesterday afternoon, I found and built a balsa A-10 glider for my 4 year
old. I must have the bug bad... I dyed it with light green dye
and drew panel lines on it. I then told him that he could throw it one
time and then we were putting it up on his dresser to look at.
Yep, I think I have the A-10 bug!!
Say hello to Dan,
