Quick update... the A-10 kit is very close to selling out of batch one. Never fear! Batch two will ship in about a week. If you use the "backorder" feature, your kit will ship first priority when batch two comes in stock. Thank you, everyone!

I have the E-flite A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 64mm EDF. It's huge, probably about the same size as this A-10. It takes a 6 cell pack and has a t8n of power. It can go full vertical and climb infinitely. It also has full control surfaces, flaps, navigation lights and retractable landing gear. It's absolutely gorgeous and it's painted with its standard grey camo look. Oh, it also comes bind and fly with a Spektrum receiver with AS3X and SAFE Select.

It looks absolutely gorgeous! Six months ago I would have never expected a FT A-10 to come out at all, let alone for it to have first appeared with a mounted airsoft gun doing strafing runs on a foam tank (that itself would later fly). The development, testing, and release turnaround on this model was blazing fast. Now when will you release the flying tank model? :P

A tip regarding waterproofing, Artist Fixative is amazing at waterproofing planes. Built an FT Explorer in an IKEA carton since FT foam is very lucky to be found in Europe, saying nearly any FT planes can be found. Unfortunatly IKEA multi-ply carton is some 50% heavier, but with fixative, I didn't even get a miscolorization of the carton when a wing ended up in a ditch for 10 min. After drying for one day, the wing was as new.

I know its been a few years sense you did this build and paint and not sure if you have learned this tip but. When you use a stencil and its not stuck down with adhesive you want to spray over the stencil edge towards the center and not towards the edge. It will give you a crisp line and less chance of under spray. Under spray is where it goes under the gap of the stencil and gives a hazy look to your lines. Second tip use a couple of light passes over the edges of the stencil and not try to cover/fill the edge of your pattern in one spray. If you want to use a stencil but want extremally crisp lines and you have a main body color. Spray a layer of clearcoat, mat, semigloss, or gloss depending on what you are looking for in shine. Then place your stencil where you want and use a pencil to lightly outline your stencil. then use automotive painters tape. It has less chance to stick to the paint. or go to your local Dollar store and get the cheapest painters tape. this will be your next best choice as the glue on it is weaker then higher priced painters tape but slightly stronger then Automotive painters tape. Also use brown packing paper to cover large areas and not a bunch of tape. It is cheaper as well as you have less of a chance of paint pulling. And last tip don't let your tape sit too long. if you have a fast drying paint take the tape off after 30 seconds of being done with that section. If you use slow drying paint wait no more then 5 minutes. You want to give the paint enough time to develop a skin but nor dry completely or you can end up pulling the paint from the edge of the tape. and don't let the tape sit on your plane for more then 10 minutes total. Oh one last tip DON'T press too hard on the tape, you want it to stick but you don't want it to be stuck.

FliteTest I'm confident in my building skills, but I've never flown before. I built plastic and balsa models growing up. R/C planes were my logical progression, but never had the time or money as a kid. Now I'm a grown up kid with a career! Thanks for the reply, Alex.

Yo, a P-61 build would be sick. I've never made a request before, but I've been watching y'all's videos since the white foam days. I still remember the fist video I ever watched from this channel; it was David's afterburner modification on his EDF Vampire. Ever since then, you've released one mind-blowing video after another. Rocket planes, Minimoas, Spitfires, Warthogs, tanks... Seeing one of my favorite planes from WWII being brought to life by your expert craftsmanship would be pretty cool.

We still give free plans and a free build video. We want everyone to enjoy the hobby with or without supporting us financially. The store and sponsorships keep food on our table along with helping us go into schools with flight based STEM (FT STEM), hold events, outreach, and maintain a huge forum and knowledge share platform. Things have changed, but hopefully for the better while still honoring our values and vision to change lives through flight. :) JB

That is not snow. Lol I live in Montana and last year in Havre, Montana we got around 115 inches of snow With 54 mile an hour winds. BMSF derailed a train that had a snowplow on the front ( Called a Jordan spreader )Ya, we never made the news. Today we hit over 55 mile an hour gusts, the Rocky Mountains got around 60 mile an hour gusts he wind chill was around negative 50, ya we never made the news!!! My dad knows a guy that built houses on the east coast, he came out here and the house he started didn’t last one month in the wind. He said he’s never felt wind like that. If you don’t believe me, look up snow record for Montana! The wind blows so hard here that we have had semi-trucks blown off the road!!! Awesome vid!!! 👍👍👍👍
