Your quote "goods will be available in 30 days" is far from true. Been waiting since beginning of August. No spare parts either. Very disappointed...

I have had both this version (hobby china A10) and the Dynam. While this one is not to scale it fly much better and is very stable. A great starter EDF for an intermediate flyer. It needs a little more power if you have to hand launch but you are limited to battery size unless you want to remove the weight block in the nose. Using a 2650mah 40C 3S give me a comfortable 5 mins flying time with reserve in battery. An easy improvement is to change out esc's for 30amp units and replace the main power wire with 12awg. Found it reduced any minor power losses and seems to be a little more responsive. Pulling 28 amps from both motors. A real nice flyer. Note to HK.... When are you going to get more in stock.. Want a second one.

Much easier flyer than the Dynam A10 because it is a lighter plane. Crashproofed mine with additional CF rods through the fuselage and wings. Running a 2650 40C 3S with decent power. Great first EDF for any intermediate pilot. Hand lauches easily. Will buy another one. Thanks HK!!!

I bought this about 6 months ago and have been searching for a field large enough to fly it in... I recently found one and the weather was perfect so I decided to take it on its maiden flight. After a few failed takeoffs from the grass I moved to a small strip of uneven pavement to give that a try... It lifted off in about 100ft and nearly ran into a soccer goal but it had just enough power to clear it. After a few fast-paced laps around the field I decided I should give landing a try while the battery was still full. I cut the power and the A10 glided across the field without losing more than a few meters of altitude... After a few more laps I was able to set up a less than perfect landing in the grass and inspect the plane for any damage. Fortunately there was none and I was able to get 2 more decent flights out of it before the battery died. I highly recommend this plane for any intermediate pilot trying to step up to more advanced flight. The lights on the wings make it easy to track and design allows for slow, controlled flights. Its a tough airplane and can withstand most moderate strength winds. NOTE: THIS IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS

Wanted to continue on my review on DE Warehouse, but product is no longer available there...

Let me recap: Installed ZIPPY Flightmax 2800mAh 3S1P 30C (fits nicely, CG ok).
Servos seems to be low quality. Flies nicely.

Unfotunately, in about 10th flight left wing broke in flight. I may damage it during previous landings, but no visible damage was there (I have attached file with results after the crash). Material seems to be weak EPS. Rupture of the wing is just at the position where servo is installed and where flap begins.
I strongly recommend install additional carbon there to improve strenght.

Realy good plane for the money.

Easy assembly, pieces fit perfect.

Flies like a trainer, also the take off and landing, enough power for hand launch.

Take of from grass is difficult because of small frontwheel.

Very happy with the plane, bought 2 allready.

Installed 2800mAH ZIPPY Flightmax 2800mAh 3S1P 30C. CG was just ok.

Wheel servo drones all the time :(

Flight experience was very good, flies nicely.

Slightly crashed it during the landings, fixed with epoxy.

Awsome plane !!! Would have loved to give this 5 stars but you simply cant get the spare parts, So if your going to crash and want spare parts FORGET THIS MODEL.



Ive now needed a canopy for my a10 for almost a year, contacted hobbyking 5 times but as usual silence. If your from the US spare parts aint an issue Hobby Lobby have the exact same model and are selling spare canopies for $2.



But hobbylobby want to charge me $50 for postage to the UK



SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - Hobby King please stock spare parts for this bird.
