2x EDF55-C20 eingebaut und 2x 18A ESC (einen roten Draht und damit einen BEC abgeklemmt) Tragflche mit einem CFK Stab verstrkt. Pilot HK90213. Da ichs nicht abwarten konnte Erstflug bei starkem Wind mit 3S1300 und 3S2200mA. Flug sofort stabil - super. SP liegt dank der leichten EDF mit C20 sehr weit vorn kann Akku sogar zurckschieben. Fr Motoren mit 3mm Welle und den beiliegenden Impellern wird (EDF55 & 64) 3mm Shaft 55-64ADP3 gebraucht.

Got it today.



Nice kit for the money.



It is EPO for sure.

Paint is thick and nicely done.

EDF's are 55mm, that is right: 55mm.

EDF feels weak, poor molding; better replace them with gws items, which are a direct good fit.

Preglued wingspares don't really stiffen the wing, control surfaces feel floppy in main wing, better replace them too!



Defenitly not the guanli version.



This is a good buy, but will need some work to get it air worthy!



Will add some more photos in the tab above.

This kit came in a good condition in the box. The assembling is not a big deal if you already have some experience. But there are some things to know; strengthen the main wings is really nescessary, the canopy needs a stronger magnet to close the battery compartment and last but not least the C.G. is around 55mm from the leading edge of the wing.
On the servo of the steering wheel (rudder) I've put some Dualrate, to make it smoother taxiing on the pavement.
The maiden flight was beautyful (for 2 minutes) till a wire was broke off the battery (my fault). During this short flight I took some rolls and loops without having problems.

2x EDF 55 with 4100Kv Motors
2x 40A Mystery ESCs
1x Orange receiver
1x 3s turnigy 1800mAh Battery
3x Servos

Included fans are 55 mm - have installed 2030 3500kv 260 W motors. Carbon fibre spars need to be installed main wing 70 cm - maybe also on elevator. No rudder - 4th servo is for nosewheel. Aileron and elevator controls are swampy and NoGo - rearrange aileron servos near control surfaces and elevator control rods on both surfaces or your maiden will last less than a second ... My plane is still waiting for 1st flight - looking forward to the day ... Lots of work but I feel this plane has potential to impress ...

The KIT is perfect, excluding the wing. Really soft and the foam is very brittle. I had to install 8mm carbon fibre tube @2mm wall thickness. I carved a channel with the soldering tip on the top of the wing, then hot glued the CF tube inside. Now I suppose the wing will withstand almost any high G stunt this plane is capable of. Will update on maiden flight.

I received my A-10 a few days ago. I am VERY impressed by the packaging. It came in a large foam box custom formed with pockets to safely hold and protect the parts. I think this has not always been the case, based on earlier reviews. There were no broken or damaged parts. But, the right aileron is warped quite a bit unfortunately.

I do think that it is a good value considering the low price.

Wing needs reinforcement. I have placed a 5mm x 1mm x 920mm CF tube across the middle of the wing, to pass just behind the wing servo. The canal carving was done with a hot soldering gun; very easy and quick if you have a steady hand. Moderately fill with hot glue, place the CF tube inside and wait to settle. Then add hot glue on the top and shape it into the wing curve with a spare piece of foam whilst hot. That's all! It took me 20 minutes. Now the wing is ny unbreakable.

Top jet, not super strong foam, but unlike many similar A10's it is very easy to repair! Please be aware that THE SPECS ARE WRONG - IT REQUIRES 55mm FANS, NOT 50mm! I have advised HK and they should be correcting shortly.

Hmmm, flying weigt 600 g, that would be with servos and motors (not included) yet billing weight is 1999g? The box must be really heavy- or maybe Hobby King is trying to extract more of your money by tricking you. SHAME!!!
