Flew the Maiden for a friend. Wish I had bought one years ago. Absolute dream to fly. Air was choppy and swirling. No gyro, x2 HRB 6s 5000, zero trim. Flew on rails. Bumpy air didn't bother it at all. Definitely going to purchase V2 in the future or find a V1 used/NIB.

Purchased arf version. Installed 12blade 80mm motors. Installed dual esc 100amp with reverse thrust and bec. Lemon 7ch standard reciever. Test flight with 4500mah 6s x2. Good flight slightly nose heavy. 5min. Flight time Easy. Have about 10 flights so far moved rear bat. Pack to the electronic board and front back pack about 2in. Great ruff field aircraft i’m flying off mix off buffalo grass and blue stem clump grass scalped. The gear is taking a beating and doing well. I like to fly scale and only require max of 50% power to achieve this. The 12blade fan motors plenty of power. Blasting the reverse thrust i can stop it in 10feet on landing. Come in with a touch of throttle I hit the main wheels everytime and avoid the porpoise everyone talks about. Build was supersimp and the bird has docile handling tendencies. If your looking for an edf that can be flown true to scale this is your plane! Very pleased with this A10!

I'm a real A 10 fanatic, I also have 5 and now with this one I have 6. I often came across this one and I didn't have this one in my Freewing squadron yet and of course it couldn't be missing. I found it striking that it was not Super scale as stated, but hey, I have several. So I made it a bit more scale and made it a special version. It flies great and you can assemble it quickly. I did upgrade the EDF unit and that is noticeable

Tolles Modell. Groß, detaillier und tolle Flugeigenschaften. Nur zwei Negativpunkte: Das Fahrwerk hat zuviel Spiel, das geht besser Siehe FMS Viper90 und in der Rumpfspitze wurde wohl aus kostengründen auf die beiden seitlichen CFK-Holme zur Verstärkung verzichtet? Deshalb nur vier von fünf Sterne

This was the third larger foam ARF A-10 I’ve worked with and by far the best built with the best fit, and nicest wings and setup. No airframe issues and a great maiden flight. I kept the stock factory gear and struts and so far no issue if one fully holds a flare and stalled landing without excess speed. I also use a “instant flap up” landing switch on touchdown which keeps the nosegear recoil controlled very well.
