      @@redwingsfan3621 Apparently they took it off the market for like 2 weeks and have now put up a revamped version with reverse thrust for a much higher price (almost 450 USD). Since I only have a dx6 I'm actually glad I got the earlier version now. But honestly the main draw of e flite is the as3x and since that single handedly almost destroyed my A-10 I can comfortably say just get the PNP version or the freewing A-10 at nearly half the price for almost the same thing

      Among my top 5 favorite planes. I'd seen A10s in airshows a couple of times (excellent demos), but the most thrilling demo I ever had was on a flight shortly after 9/11...close unough to the day that we were still really on edge. I was anyway, being on an airplane after strolling past soldiers carrying M4's in my local airport prior to boarding! Midway through the flight, my eye was caught by motion; I looked out the window to catch four A10s in echelon formation, I'm guessing 2000ft below our plane. Within a moment, the lead plane rolled inverted, started popping flares, then pulled the stick to drop into the cloud layer below. The other three planes rolled, popped, and pulled in sucession. Only airshow I've seen from above!

    I used to like Spektrum radios & own the DX6 which I bought 13 years ago for nearly $300. I abandoned the hobby for 12 years, but became interested again with the advent of flight controllers that allow for mission flying, terrain following & etc. To my disappointment it certainly appears that Spektrum has stayed away from being useful for use with flight controllers thru their receivers largely being unable to connect via serial communication to controllers. Sure there are the satellite receivers that with work arounds can be mated with a controller, but all other of their serial output receivers only can send telemetry.
    On the otherhand brands that did not exist to my knowledge 13 years ago such as Radiomaster, Radiolink... not only have receivers with serial called SBUS output for connection to controllers, but can also send PWM signals individually to servos if not using a controller. To top it off, these newcomers are a lot less expensive than Spektrum. Hence, now with Spektrum, contrary to all the hype when 2.4 Ghz spread spectrum radios initially were introduced, we have Spektrum gives one, you pay more & get much less.

      Steve, I also have back problems. And many different planes, and carrying around just a plane, the transmitter, and batteries, is tough. As a beginner you should buy a trainer model first, about 1200 mm wingspan, and a decent transmitter like a NX8 or 10. The big money you will spend on the LiPo Accu's so it's important to start with a few similar models; most of them use 3S 2'200 mAh. What I do not recommend: Spektrum LiPo's because they are so smart they discharge themselves automatically after about 2 -3 days non -use. After so many years of flying, that was a nasty surprise to me, as I usually have a few accu's in my car besides a plane or two. Anyways, see this video of my Eflite T-28 Trojan, a pretty fast one: th-cam.com/video/us_E9pYCzGI/w-d-xo.html

    My only concern with the smaller one is the lack of any landing gear and having to do a belly landing on a rough surface like concrete or asphalt. I have plenty of grassy parks and other soft landing areas where I live in Florida to fly such a plane, but for those that live in areas with a lack of grass covered parks or school yards, it would not be such a great option to tear up the belly of this plane on landing.

    I got the little one as my first EDF. You and others say that EDFs fly differently, so do you think it's representative of the experience? If I moved up to something bigger, like a Viper or Falcon, aside from speed and power, would I be surprised by a lot?

    • @mongoose4117
      @mongoose4117 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The little a10 is a real sweet heart, its much more tame far as takeoff and landing, very easy. I think the big a10 is real similar and a sweet heart as well. They are good jets because of the large wing, still very fast. That being said I do not have a viper but do have an avanti v3. The avanti its also a real sweet heart. I think its easyier to land than my zero fighter or other tail draggers. Some edfs are way more intense. Like my freewing f5 80mm hp, very high landing speed but so fun. If you can handle the little a10 with no issues. I think a viper or an avanti or a habu ss or a big a10 is the ticket. Another really sweet, step up bird, is eflites f15 64mm. Mine has been on a couple hundred problem free flights. Its super easy to land and once your used to it, you can high alpha at about 3 miles an hour with your nose way up in the air and i can hover mine. I did add servos and functional rudders to my f15, the f15 basically dosnt stall, either. I mean you can stall it but you have to try. Its so well behaived, eflites 70mm f16 thunderbird is another that almost wont stall, thier both really amazing jets. The f16 is sweet but a little more challenging, just a tiny bit , tho. Anyway best of luck.

    • @antoniomontana9430
      @antoniomontana9430 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd say it depends on whether you like to hear an annoying robotic like voice every few seconds telling you what your battery voltage and runtime are. You can fly without telemetry but you would have to know how long your battery runs for and keep an eye on your watch or set up a timer to go off on your smartphone so that you can land the plane in time before the battery is completely dead and you run into what's known as a "dead stick" situation.
