Join us for a flight on the twin 64mm A-10 Thunderbolt II! This 4s powered RC jet is a great balance of power and value. Find it here: www.motionrc.c...
Nice flying James. I have the original plane and it really flew well. Just up graded to the high performance system and I love the sound. Cannot wait to fly the up graded version. Thanks for sharing.
Hey the crash entries are already done you can't enter late! That little A10 sounds pretty good! It certainly looks like it's easier to fit in a car then it's big brother!
Buy the eflite model of it. It has stronger landing gear because this nose gear will wear down easy on any field. Mine ended up ripping out.The paint also chips and cracks on the wings because there is no suspension on the gear. It flys well but a BNF eflite a-10 with stronger gear is well worth the extra money.
Great flying James. I'm very surprised with the flight time with the twin 64mm. I would think on 4s she would be a little on the heavy side. Great flying A10 by the looks of it.
@@MotionRC Hey James, varnish clear coat over what you've done, then use Vallejo acrylic glaze with your grey color choice over all areas you want toned down. You can then use a damp brush, cloth or sponge to remove around details you want to keep. What you did is a perfect starting point to an awesome result! You got this!
Hey guys. I'm going to maiden my A10 this weekend. This thing has crazy travel on the ailerons. So I've tamed them down. Do you suggest it flys better on the lower rates??
Not hard, the servo pockets are already molded, so you need just glue in the servo, then attached control horns and cut out the flap which is already molded for it. I plan on making a video of it soon
I think so yes. By design an A-10 produces a good amount of lift and can fly slower and more stable than say an F-16 or F-18 etc. This would be good to learn how to properly land a jet too.
My only two complaints on this plane are that the pilot figure is WAY oversized, and the Maverick missiles are poor representations of the real one (way too familiar with the real Mavericks). The pilot figure looks more like a sport jet pilot, and at the same scale as the plane, would be over 10 feet tall. I pulled the pilot out and replaced him with an action figure pilot I bought online, making a much more scale looking - and USAF looking - pilot. A 3D printed pilot figure could also be found that would look better. Oddly enough, EFlite has the same issue with their pilot figure. Theirs is also much too big for the scale of the plane.
It's such a small piece that most manufacturers only bother to create a few options and use the one that may best fit it. To make a new pilot mold for every single plane would only drive the prices up.
Wow that’s a gorgeous Warthog A10 model!
Thanks buddy! A little airbrushing pops it nice
Motion RC yeah mate nice work 👍🏼

Great flight and landing James 👍🏻
Thanks Dad! ;)
Motion RC can call me Chris james 🤓
Good job James! Except for the small battery hatch great bird!
Thanks Shadow!
Nicely done James 👍🇺🇸🤘
thanks Deuces!

hahaha
@@MotionRC freaking cell phone made so many mistakes!

Shame we in EU dont have new version with the Avian and thrust reverse.
Great flying James. The Old Man already has it on my want list adding to my other 2 A-10s. ✈😎💗
Can never have too many A-10's!

Nice and stable, can't wait to put the flaps on her
An acrylic grey glaze will work great dulling those lines down a bit!
Oooh, might have to try that. Any product recommendations for me?

Nice but can't beat e-flight streets ahead
That A-10 flies well. James, will a 4000mah Admiral fit in it??
My first thought is probably not, but I can try it
Did you have to add nose weight? With a 3600 in mine it is still tail heavy. Looking at adding 3+ ounces to the nose. Seem right to you guys?????
Awesome model! You think its possible to fit a 4000mAh battery? :)
could you use a 4s 2200 with this?
Is this comparable to the 6s E-FLIGHT 64MM A10 for performance ,

How complicated/easy is the installation of flaps?
Not hard, the servo pockets are already molded, so you need just glue in the servo, then attached control horns and cut out the flap which is already molded for it. I plan on making a video of it soon
@@MotionRC that would be very appreciated! Thx in advance!
Would this be a good “first edf”?
I think so yes. By design an A-10 produces a good amount of lift and can fly slower and more stable than say an F-16 or F-18 etc. This would be good to learn how to properly land a jet too.
But also our 70mm Rebel, Hawk or the 80mm Avanti, T-33 are great as well
Motion RC oh okay! Yeah my favorite jet of all time is the A-10 and I just wanted to know if it wouldn’t take long to be able to fly one of these.
Gonna find myself a mini speaker so it can do the Brrrt sound
top speed?

you cannot hand toss that plane! dont even try!
It is stupid to not have a gyro in such an expensive airplane.
For an A-10? They are such stable platforms
Gyro, no thanks. And this is not an expensive plane.
