Tesla Model S owner, here.  I am a car guy.  I build engines and race cars and i will NEVER go back to a gasoline-powered vehicle.  I pay about $50/month to charge my car at home overnight while i sleep.  I wake up each morning with a car fully charged for over 250-275 miles of driving.  It took zero modification to my house electrical system, my insurance rates went down ( i had a Mustang Shelby GT500 prior to the Tesla), and i can outrun and outperform literally any car on the road, all with luxury and technology that is updated via the internet periodically, also while i sleep.  And guess what?  I bought it used five years ago and paid $36k for it. 
 
Are electric cars for everybody?  Nope.  Are they amazing?  Yes.
 
Don't believe everything you read on the internet.  I have had no problems charging my car in the cold.

Richie I’m sorry to drag up a 5 year old thread, but I’m just now stumbling across this. 
 
man this is a SUPERB build. I can’t stop looking at the pictures. 
 
can you elaborate a little bit on how you lit up all of the jet’s external lights?  I’d love to do something identical!
 
great job!

That looks SUPERB!!  What pilot is that?

Man i love this topic.   I love the Hog and an in-flight build will be so cool. 
 
Beware the cutting Edge cockpit is for a pre-LASTE A-10A.  You've addressed the instrument panel and control stick, but other mods need performed to bring it up to LASTE standard.  the AC vents are the most obvious.  There are plenty of pics in the Hog Guide. 
 
Also, you mention the DTU aft of the seat.  That isn't an A-10C thing.  It was introduced a long time ago.  It is included in the Black Box cockpit set if you can find one.  It's very nicely reproduced. 
 
Keep up the great work!
