nice
fpv with airsoft gun
this is cool but if you wanted to do a cannon plane the xa38 grizzly or a hs129 duck would of been cool but a10 needs to be a brrrrrrrtttttt
can you release the STL file of the a10?
do not play the fucking game, you will regret it
You should replace the nerf blaster for airsoft "gun". Higher fire rate + more ammo = better!
Replace plastic bbs with metal bbs for authentic action
@@liebermen2369 Yes! LOL
why not .22lr
@@Jaszczur-sp2tx illegal
Plus I been trying to find a good way to make an arduino/esp32 controlled aeg so that would be cool to see
3:39 “if you also want to fly an A-10 warthog, but don’t want to go through the long process of building one yourself, you need to check out war thunder”
I could have built one sooner than it took me to get it in war thunder 💀
I agree
True
Yep
Wallet warriors with premium a10:🗿
@@maxdobrin6887I’m poor😢
Built that backwards. The A-10 is not an aircraft with a gun attached, it’s a gun with a plane attached.
Seriously, super cool build.
You just skipped over the whole CNC hot wire cutter, but you really should do another video on that showing what you did differently and things like how you slice the files for it
Yes! I second this
Yes, because I kinda want to build it...
Third
agreed!
Very true
An airsoft gun would definitely be an upgrade, far higher rate of fire, and way larger magazine capacity. It would also allow you to use CO2 or green gas to propel the BBs which would make a small vapor cloud in front of the gun just like the real A10, though this is dependent on the air temperature. A small yellow/orange led at the tip of the barrel that flashes as the gun fires could also sell the effect.
Airsoft BBs are also sold in biodegradable variants which means you don’t have to pick them up.
There’s also the option of tracers, which would make the A10 look even cooler when firing in the dark. And allow you to better see where the BBs are going
You could also add a small speaker to give the plane an authentic BRRRRRRRT sound effect
An FPV camera would also allow you to be more accurate. It would also give you POV footage which would be really cool to watch.
Okay but the little nerf blaster design was so slick and you just breezed past it like it was easy
waiting for your next Vtol project bro
Same here
He just modded an existing design to fit.
But I agree it was super slick!
Definitely adding an FPV camera to improve aim would be great. Can you add a speaker to make the gun noise while shooting? Love the video. Thanks
Now there’s someone who can hand launch properly!
So many people can’t do this.
Well done. 👍
This video is criminally underrated. Easily the coolest rc plane project I have seen in a while.. and "Built Fast" has been dropping some banger builds lately. Yet this is cooler. I agree with others asking about a separate video on the updated cnc foam cutter. Thank you for the dose of inspiration!!
Awesome build. I’d love to see some details on the CNC foam cutter!
Very cool plane. How about FPV with a gel blaster. Gel blaster makes glow in the dark pellets too.
Flite Test moment lol
Intest
As a recent enthousiast of RC planes I think you missed a HUGE opportunity with just this single 13 min video.....
You could have documented this amazing built in multiple 20+min videos and it WILL be watched!
I don't believe that I am the only one on the planet who - instead of watching cr*p on tv/streaming - binge watch multiple episodes on a built; from unboxing to the final product.
See we used to have good channels on cable. Epecially the DIY channel with where they would build things like this. Unfortunatley we can't have nice things when everything is about sport ball and shaking booty. 2003 was good times.
... i found the build cool until i saw the extra propellers on the wings... those offend me somehow.
Same
Same
They look so bad he removed them from the thumbnail XD
That would be a no starter for me.
makes it way faster and more battery efficient, i say why not
Stuff to possibly add
-Switch out the nerf darts for 50 cal foam ballz
-3d printed bombs with powder ot them pop snaps
- feedback cam
-fog gen in the nose for the blaster
-edfs
Dude!
When using fiberglass make sure you're using gloves!
And a respirator might be advisable as well (I'm only a few seconds into the video lol)
I was stationed at Davis monthan. Home of the warthog. And the boneyard. Saw a10s flying in the sky daily. Actually really miss it....
Have been WANTING to get a 3d printer for awhile now, just haven't had the extra money to as of yet. Once I do though. My son and I will def be building some of the stuff you have built in your videos. Thank you for sharing!
That is an awesome build. Have you thought about Landing Gear? Can’t wait to see what you design next😎
3:35 You don’t have to build it for weeks/days instead you have to grind it😂 XD
Seeing the drone fly behind the A-10 is so cool
SR-71 Blackbird, would be cool to see, also the B2 Stealth Spirit, an F-104A Starfighter would be incredible as well. Especially if you can use rocket assist to make it go stupid fast. Great video.
hey if you ever get the idea to make another one from the ground up , may i suggest a different route of building the fuselage and chasis frame.
you can get tig wire/filler rod, any metal type will do. a 10 pound tube should be more than enough. you can bend these and tack them to form a hoop frame chasis or 3dprint fasteners after you bend them to connect them together if you dont have a welder or torch setup. you could probablly get away with brazing them together as well.
this design would survice any type of crash landing, your exterior may not but if you make it modular you could print backup pieces that snap and fit onto the hoopframe chasis .
Build a herrier jet with vertical lift
Take the props off, add some EDFS and gear, then move that battery back up front if needed and it would be cool to have some bombs and cam to watch them hit their targets 😊
Omg yes I hate when people add props to jet aircraft in silly places, I get that it's expensive, but it looks soo good
@@Kronoxa_”silly places” - literally every conventional twin engine propeller plane
@@mutekn0wm0re82 mate I said jet aircraft... Not taking about prop aircraft
I watched you old foam cutter video. Even built one and got it working but then life got in the way. I think people would love to see a video on the new cutter - and how your program the cutter to cut wings!
A good idea could be to just remove the small motors on the wings and go with bigger motors on the back. Where the actual engines of the A-10 are located.
I think you should build another one and engage in dogfight like maneuvers, flying in formation, and never mind the nerf gun, using laser markers would be great.
This is not a fighter, but it's so maneuverable that it would behave insanely well for that kind of stuff. Also, placing some ground targets like a tank column would fulfil the role this plane was built for.
Cool project, keep it up
Hello!
Amazing video! Can you make a video of the electronics? The RC system, the arduino programming?
Yeah I consider building a first plane but it's so complicated to find recent videos that talk about the electronics ...
Dude your design chops are on another level. You def deserve way more subs....you earned mine! That 4 axis hot wire is so sick.
Definitely add a FPV camera at the front! It'd be awesome to upgrade to paintball and take it to a paintball fight.
Super underrated!
this is so cool and you are a genius creating all this project
You should try airsoft bbs or rival rounds
Beautiful build and flight congratulations
I used to love having these guys come on station and BRRRRRT!
You should add A-10 Decals to the model, would look cool. It looked a really smooth a stable plane to fly.
You should try an f22 vtol jet
dude...how are you gonna brush over your new CNC foam cutter like that...we want a whole video on it! awesome plane btw
Shooting paint balls would be very cool.
I love Warthog, its cool, compact, and does the job quite well
for war thunder, instead of a long process for building, its an even longer process of grinding out the entire us tech tree to get the a10 late, or buying the 50 dollar a10a
A very cool custom build! well done
You should do a F4U Corsair - it would be interestingly complicated with the hot-wire CNC
you can buy an A-10 warthog but you have to disarm the gun first which is very hard because the plane was built around the gun but it's not impossible you just need to find someone that knows how to work on the plane to disarm it but also you sometimes you can see them on military auctions where they sell retired gear like tanks helicopters planes and Humvees they will be disabled if they have a gun like a tank or plane you can also get the permits there are a lot of permits like 20 to get a enabled tank or plane with the gun and must get trained on how to use it by the military
You're really bringing my dreams/nightmares to life with these projects. Add some AI control to it and you'll have the nightmare part nailed. Of course, if you want a good next project, use a couple of microjet engines and build an Me-262.
You didn't even need the motors in the wing, by using the big fan, a compression system + a module with some heaters and a fit exhaust at the end, will have make it able to carry even a (scale-sized) tank with batteries and some DYI bombs (of no more than air or dust (maybe sand)).
can you show how you have the design with all the parts. I also want to build an RC airplane and want to design it as much as you.
a step by step tutorial would be cool.
The a10 cannon isn’t centered in the fuselage it’s offset to one side
03:34 Should’ve designed a magazine system like the P90’s. Could have had a lot more nerf darts to feed into the gun with the magazine going horizontally down the fuselage! 😂
You should add an FPV Camera and try and do a "bomber run" with a bunch of targets set up! Maybe you could even have people trying to shoot it down...
if it flies well at a third throttle then why have motors on the wings? it adds weight and further complicates the electronics. Also it looks better without them.
Fantastic build, thank you! Just wondering if the wing motors are necessary as you commented the plane seems to be overpowered. A thought. Nice job!
I think I found a new past time. Great build and fantastic video.
the jet in 12:58 would be a fun build , what do you think?
Awesome video, Neat creativity.
You drop a banger of a new foam cutter and just tease it?! My man, you gotta share that!
I have an idea for the gun you can use two high speed motors with wheels so they can easily shoot the ammo
Might be late, but it would be awesome if you made a b-1 lancer with controlable wings that could go back like an f-14
The Warthog is back in business!
(always sunny reference)
To add, I wish it had only the "real" engines, not the wings ones.
I would like to see a KC390 plane built next! With landing gear!
it flies beautifully!
7:30 i have used dolly´s several times. you need the front wheel to be fixed :) and then it works good.
i have also used catapult launcher from time to time.
You should make a bigger RC plane that drops bombs or at least small foam ones and so experiment with the mechanism for dropping the bombs and targeting them.
This is so cool, could you do a Messerschmitt 262? Its the first jet ever build
I would love to see one of these with a full auto ruger 10 22 with a high cap magazine. Highly illegal but it would be cool.
Adding a Airsoft AEG or a combination of a gas powered airsoft gun and a circuit or system, might be amusing. But of course that would affect the weight and configuration of the electronics. It might also be more controllable. HPA guns are also a option, but this is just a thought and the build is awesome already.
great plane man, go on
Fpv camera and try to aim where darts go and replace the foam darts with electric airsoft BB mechanism this way you could use safe plastic bb or spicy the things by load it with steel bbs. Make sure if you go for bbs to install airsoft gun with adjustable spring tension so you can regulate the power how you need it. Taiwangun is a great website for quality airsoft replicas on a budget.
Replace nerf for aircraft then Fpv it with ballon ground targets and released targets. Dope Build 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was also going to mention airsoft, but then i thought you may have avoided this for safety reasons.
A nerf dart isn't going to make anyone blind, airsoft can in fact do this if you're really unlucky, like really unlucky.
Also, a remote controlled bb-shooting plane might actually get you into real trouble with the FAA.
Very cool build. Try using ducted fans. Definately FPV, and then get something like a Umarex Steel Storm in there.....(full auto BB gun)
I’m not surprised it took off at a low speed. It’s a slow plane. If it’s close enough to the real plane, you could probably fly it with only one wing and one engine.
Seems it should be able to fly with just the enclosed fans in the shrouds.
Bruddas next video finna be,
“Here is a diy area 51!”
two recommendations for your future R/C builds: Horten 229, Bugatti 100P
For a thing to fly, it needs, power.
W/ enough power everything flies.
Could you put more motors in the back 2 engines to accelerate the air more and then remove the motors on the wings? Obv a fair bit of mods would need done but you could counteract with airsoft system instead of nerf
the fact that your near a coal plant is crazy and i also think that one of them is a nuclear reactor
I like it how he said “you want the feeling of flying an A-10 without needing to make it yourself”. Even though it takes months to get the a-10 in warthunder. 😂
10:00 more wind is perfect not disastrous :)
With @krystofkuh’s comment i think a AEG motor or an AEP with an inbuilt tracer in the hopup and a short innerbarrel you could have a cool night view of fpv flyby. I have sketched and assembled something similar with a pp-19 round magazine or a short hi-cap stanag mag
Would have liked to seen some full throttle low passes, it's not like it's going to come apart. Still, sick build man
Make a plane that can drop stuff from the back and then drop parachutes with a firework attached to it.
There's a video titled "no full auto in building". Try something like that, maybe with an on-board compressor.
HS-129 B3 should be next! if you could get the big gun working that would be cool. i guess depending on scale you could use paintballs!
looks great, but the propellers could be replaced with 2 large edfs
Very nice build! I need to 3D print a jet.
U should make an F-16 Falcon if that jet is in the game it is one of my favorite fighter planes u already made the first favorite jet and also awesome video of the A-10 warthog
Amazing model :D Would be fun to make it for "two" people, one to fly and another to fire :D
this man doesnt get enough credit for the work he does
You can build german WWII early jet He-162, that would be pretty cool
Definitely need to FPV this thing!
Fantastic work, Michael! Really well done! 😃
Awesome flying as well!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Just found your channel and it’s amazing thanks for the content
Dang.. nice! 8 minutes flight time … fpv time!
The fuselage is complete overkill with its inner structure 3d printed outer structure and additional laminating. But the wings instead just out of foam. That doesn't make sense. It would be totally sufficient just to print out the fuselage or build it out of foam with a additional laminate layer.
Add explosives to it and you can raise budget to do even crazier stuff
Strong edf's and strong bb gun perfect dogfight fun
I think I want to modify the design to fully 3D print it like the 3DLabPrint or Eclipson
Super cool
I Love the A -10
nice job. but why motors on the wings ? takes away from the scale look a bit... is it not possible to get enough thrust from rear motors ?
