Oh wow!

Love the sponsons made from the other nose sections.  Perfect!  and it puts the ammo nearer the center of lift, much nicer for the variable stability problem created by using up the ammo.

Great job, Eddie.

She looks great, but if you fire both those 30mm's at once, won't the plane stop dead in mid air??

That's what the two extra engines are for. They will make it fly, against it's will, if necessary.

Would you beleive they're sync'd so that firing alternates between sides and balances things a bit?

[Patrick H]

Wow, great stuff Eddy. Looks like you're building one mean aircraft there.

Seriously well thought out Eddie... one mean mutha    

[Sisko]

AHHHHHHH it's good to see!!!

Thanks for the update Eddie  

Man you will red mist anything with those twin 30s.

That airframe will have to be beefed up to take the vibration of those babies when they fire.

Thanks everyone! I'd like to think I'm smart enough to plan these things, but in all honesty, 99% of this stuff comes to me right on the spot, ad lib if you will. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. You guys are my barometer.  B)

The production assembly line has been put into action.

Golly, yer makin' me blush!     Here's the engine bits with a "sludge" in the blade spaces. I left 2 without to show the difference. It brings out the detail well. My "sludge" is a mixture of water, liquid soap and acrylic paint. After it dries, I use a moist cotton tipped applicator to wipe the access away.

Well looky here! I finally found some inspiration and have done a little work on what I think is one of my bigger challenges of this build; the wings and main gear.
This represents about 2 hours worth of cutting, sanding, patching, gluing for one wing.    Hopefully the other one will be easier. The cockpit was just a bonus after I put in the seat.

Are you sure the tread pattern on those tires is correct?     Lookin' good Eddie, glad to see some progress!

It's nice seeing Hogzilla back on the bench, Mr Miller! Nice progress and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Great work, anyone thought of making a two seat side-by-side A10 ?
