Flite Test A-10 Parts

1. Cockpit parts
   Printed these cockpit pieces to go into my FliteTest A-10 plane. I modified the front piece to remove some parts that were hanging unsupported as well as a bit that just blocked the view for FPV. The rear part was modified to have holes for M2 screws to mount a 30x30 VTX and I also mounted the Caddx Turtle V2 board just in front of that.

This piece I designed fits into the cockpit and holds the Turnigy 180deg MG servo for camera pan. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4532320

Here is video of the cockpit in flight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaF7Gbsbe6c

***V2 cockpit rear
I modified the rear cockpit half to make it a simpler shape for printing and added a pedestal for a pan servo for FPV camera

Additionally I added 3 modified front cockpit pieces that I used to try to get a better print quality due to the extreme overhangs and not wanting to use supports in that area.

• FTA-10_cockpit_HUD.stl is only the Hud part with a base plate to allow it to be glue in.
• FTA-10_cockpit_FWD_canopy_rails.stl" I printed these "upside down" to get a decent flat surface for the base while printing
• FTA-10_front_cockpit_minus_HUD.stl This is the to be used with the HUD stl above

1. Nose pod cap(s)
   I added the nose caps for the wing landing gear pods. When I scratch built my first A-10 I redesigned the wheel pods to include the nose, but the speed build kit doesn't have that. So I designed this nose cap to be glued to the front of the landing gear pods.

2. Motor ducts
   Designed these ducts to fit between the FT wooden brackets as well as the same inside diameter as those pieces. The motor mount is sized for 2205-2208 motors and allows a 5" prop or a 6" prop cut down to a 5" diameter. The FWD section has the motor mount and prints with no supports needed. The AFT section is in right and left variants to allow the ESC wires to come out in the best location for routing. I printed this with supports everywhere due to the long flat over hangs. The Aft sections have 4 small guide pins used to aid in alignment when gluing the AFT and FWD sections together with CA. The holes for attaching the ducts to the wooden pieces are sized to take M3 brass threaded inserts. I am also including an STL called test piece that can be used to verify that your printer is calibrated and printing the correct size, 128mm ID and 134mm OD, as well as to use as a template to drill the holes in the wooden brackets. I highly suggest using PETG to print these ducts, on my previous FTA-10 I used PLA and the motor heat melted the mounts in flight and eventually aided in the failure of those motors.

As mentioned, and pictured above, I used this Thing to cut down a 6in prop and get a stiffer and more efficient prop vs a stock 5in prop.

**More parts will be added to this as I verify they work properly.
