New 2008 4 CH A-10 Thunderbolt II Radio Remote Control Electric Ducted Fan RC Fighter Jet RTF (Desert)
  | | |
| The A-10 program is developing the next-generation air
superiority fighter for the Air Force to counter emerging worldwide threats.
This A-10 holds the same beautiful lines as the original fighter jet. The
wing and body used in this jet are specially designed to allow high G
maneuvers, yet the wing loading is still very low. It becomes a stable
aircraft with excellent performance. |

What the Pro says!
Construction quality and paintwork from the factory is excellent, no
problems at all. It took me about 20 minutes to put it together using five
minute epoxy. I left the landing gear off, I prefer to hand launch. Be
sure ot put some tape on the bottom for protection.
The plane flies fine on the stock NIMH pack and brushed motors, in spite of
all the internet "Experts" saying it would not. It will loop and roll, no
problem, but it's modestly powered with the stock setup, and flight times
are maybe five minutes, tops.
Swapping out the 650NIMH pack for a three cell 1300 lipo made a whole new
airplane out of it. Now it is fast and vividly aerobatic, and flight times
are long. I set a timer at eight minutes to make sure I do not overdrain
the lipo and ruin it. No reason why you could not put in a 2200 pack,
either.
Beware of one thing, though...the way it is set up from the factory, there
is way too much elevator throw, and you may kill it on the first flight
attempt. Move the control horn to the innermost hole on the elevator servo
horn, and the outermost one on the horn on the elevator, and everything will
be fine.
I am still using the included 27mhz radio. It will occasionally glitch if I
point the TX antenna right at the airplane, otherwise, it has been working
fine.
I have put a dozen flights in using the 11v lipo and the stock brushed
motors, and the motors and ESC are still going strong, so consider that
before buying a brushless converson for it. Power is a non-issue with the
stock motors and a lipo batt.
The plane is stable and easy to fly, yet very aerobatic. I like flying it
in low and close, like the real thing.
All I can say is the plane is better than expected in all respects, much
better than similar offering, and it is well built and a super value for the
money. Great plane to keep in the back of the car and toss around whenever
you see an open space.For more reviews and comments on other
