[@robertwren2289]

Such a very cool EDF jet. Love how you talk to new pilots that think they want this really cool EDF, but are not quite ready for it. I had bought planes I wasn't ready for, and it didn't always end well. lol For you new pilots out there, think about getting the RF 9.5s simulator, it will help you hone in on your skills before you buy a plane you're not quite ready for. Buy it from Brian's channel which helps them bring us great content or from your local hobby store. If you already have a good transmitter, then get the download version, that way you can set your DR and EXPO rates up on the transmitter you will be using to actually fly your plane. Thanks again Brian and Camera Crew for bringing us a great channel for RC planes, as well as setup and flight reviews.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yes, thanks ;) So many new planes that will temp the novice, but if they buy this as a novice they will be a "one and done" and we are fighting back hard against the one and done pilots...we want every pilot that's interested, to get to their full potential, and be flying for a long time!!!

[@TheFrenchPug]

I bought the 9.5s and those jets move very fast and landings are very realistic (and really take some finessing). They are also all different on their flight and landing characteristics. Jets are not easy!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Enjoy! I didn't mention to set the break force to 7...this was not something I was aware of, but it's supposed to help slow down the EDF's in preparation for Reverse Thrust. Also, the factory rep suggested upgrading firmware "because it's more stable" - which made me scratch my head a little...seemed pretty stable to me, the way we did it ;)

The V-1 was my first edf if you don’t count the Arrows Marlin and 50mm Viper. I thought I had bit off more than I could chew. “6s? Twin engines? Who do I think I am, Brian Phillips???” Turned out it was one of the best flying planes I’ve ever owned. At the time of the 3 maiden flights it reminded me of how easy the Twin Otter flew, but twice the speed. Time for a backup!

A beautiful plane but I'm not ready for it at my skill level. Maybe someday since i have wanted an A-10 for a couple of years.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

For sure! If and when you're ready, it's one of the best EDF's out there. Flies great, very forgiving, and powerful. Also lands well, but this plane DOES float forever, so give yourself some room when you're ready to take the plunge ;)

it needs damping on the landing gear. if you come down hard, it bounces like a pogo stick and then comes down hard on the nose, stripping the nose gear servo, busting the retract etc. put the wings on before you glue the elevator so you can line it up properly.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Such different planes. I feel like this A-10 would be a great choice if you're geared toward jets, but if you want a more practical "everyday" flier, that's going to give you more flight time, the P-40 might be for you. Honestly, when they're that different, I look at it like this... I want both. So, really the quesiton becomes, which one do I want FIRST? Decide based on what's IN STOCK, and what's likely to STAY IN STOCK...I.E. Are they going to discontinue the "other plane? If so, you might get the "Other plane" first. I think this being pre-order, might be #2 on the list??? A10 bit.ly/2P1i286 P-40B bit.ly/3zbmNyE + AR631 bit.ly/3pYNC3c OR AR637T bit.ly/3pW3u86

Brian is the front nose gear better? The pin on previous one was weak.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It is supposed to be improved, but I never had issues on my first one.

[@jaretterdman8541]

Brian do you know if they improved the nose wheel? I bought the original one a couple of months ago and it broke off in the grass on my first flight. People said that the first version had that issue.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yeah, they improved the bogeys. I never had an issue, but a lot of people did on this plane.

[@New2Kendo]

Would using a hairdryer on stickers that are peeling up from the factory help them stay down. Also is Foam Tac similar to Foam 2 Foam

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I can give this a shot, thanks!

I would like to see Zero A6M fighter flying.

Me too, but I can't seem to get one sent!!!

[@olivervaldes4223]

I have trouble landing this one, it’s tricky.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Wait till you see the thrust reverse video...coming soon!

[@pawpawstew]

Slowed down, it really looks the part!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

For sure! In the calm, she'll slow down and keep nice and stable for sure, but the wind wasn't having any part of a nice, REALLY slow pass, which I wanted so badly for the video ;)

[@dradden1556]

Very cool.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It sure is! Thanks!

[@dalezesiger9873]

Hello Mr. Phillips. I am about ready to purchase this A10. Having enjoyed your "field fixes" on many RC planes, I am very curious about your take on the fact that the rudder servos are permanently entombed in the vertical stabilizers once they are glued to the horizontal tail. This seems like "paint yourself in the corner" engineering. How in the heck would someone replace or upgrade the servos without destroying the entire tail assembly? Thanks! Dale.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You only have to use some KICKER (CA Accelerator) to get the glues to break down, BUT I wouldn't plan on having issues. I haven't (yet) and don't suspect it to be an especially high probability of failure....at least this point. Go for it. Great plane, and even if you DO have an issue, you'll love the path getting to the issue ;) BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR bprc.me/A10

[@dalezesiger9873]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Sweet! Don't know what "kicker" is, or what it is designed to do, but based on the cool stuff you have done to get around short comings in some of these "off the shelf" RC models, I will take your word for it. In truth, I do not trust the servos HH uses in many of their BNF planes - they cut corners, and use junk servos; and as a general rule, I upgrade all the servos that come stock in EF planes. I love your insight, and having said that, I really love this plane. I had the Freewing version before I got out of the hobby for a hiatus. Now that I am back, I really miss my A10 - along with my FMS 1400 Trojan, it was the best flying plane in my fleet. I really want to love this EF A10, but I am hung-up on the silly engineering of gluing [anything] on modern RC planes. I know you know more than me, and I put a lot of stock in your opinion(s) and insight. A job well done...thank you! I WANT this plane. But...

[@dalezesiger9873]

Oh, and since you fly EVERY FRIGGIN' thing out there. I am kept up at night deciding between the new 90 EF Viper, the Freewing 80mm Avanti or the EF twin 64mm A10...help! My thought process is circling he drain! On a different note -my wife said your "camera crew" has beautiful hands as well as good skills with the camera.🤣

[@iamgnobes]

I have the UMX A10 and loved it so much I ordered a second (and the citation). Looking to get a larger jet. This A10 64mm or F16 70mm Thunderbird?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

These new twin 30mm UMX'es are amazing!

[@dallasharris9531]

Can I use my smart batteries for the husky altimate

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yes

[@markushuber214]

What did you use with your Cutip so that you can remove the glue so easily? :)

[@erinphillips7164]

Had this one brotha but always bent front landing gear even on small bump landing. Had to replace it time or so. Is this gear stronger?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

This new plane (V2) HAS improved gear. This was a factor they wanted to improve upon, and they claim they have.

[@billgatewood9578]

Can you install auto takeoff?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

SAFE pretty much makes taking off a breeze, but really flying this or any plane is a matter of culmination of a lot of practice, absent which, you'd be looking at a modified version of lawn darts - only 100+ MPH

[@jcb6713]

Just wondering; not casting aspersions :-) but if low on battery and doing go arounds; why operate flaps and cycle gear ? Why not just leave them down and save battery ? Cleaning it up just seems unnecessary...have a great week...

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It's all about drag. Drag is HUGE from the gear (look at the gear doors), and flaps the same...I gotta "get there" so if you leave the flaps at "takeoff" setting, you'll get the best of both worlds. Gotta get out of the gear too, in the event of dead stick landing - LOL - not that I'd ever do that ;) [F15 Twin 64mm - LOL - very recently]

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

...but you could leave it down, and see if you get there okay. Just a judgment call. Some would do it differently.

[@KB_RC]

Awesome Brian great video as always! I don’t know if I’ll get one.. $430 😬… hoping they bring an F18 back though!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

If you're waiting for a better price, you might be waiting forever :(... sorry KB RC! I REALLY hope I'm wrong!!!!!! ;)

[@KB_RC]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Ha no it’s alright Brian.. I’m sure! … I totally understand and know why too. 😉😆

[@oldscratch3540]

I hear tell metal servo gears on the LG

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Sorry...typo has me confused.

[@supermami5568]

Is this plane for beginners? Because its really cool and Dome people say its easy to fly with.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Some people would lie to you and say yes just to make a few dollars....DON'T DO IT. This plane will go 100+ MPH and it's expensive too!!!! Also, you need a 6S lipo to fly it, and it's just gonna be like $1000+ from start to finish... YES, you can fly this plane as a beginner, but if you're going to do that, maybe just send me like $750 on Patreon and then you'll come out a few hundred buck richer ;) LOL (JK by the way) What I would highly suggest is getting something more like one of these (YES THERE IS AN EDF JET)...

I brought a dx8e for my A10 will it work

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I don't know why it wouldn't, but I can't say with certainty, since I don't have and haven't had an "e". I know there's some limitations, but I'm not aware what they are.

[@briangutierrez5635]

I wish they made a part for the engine where you can remove and install a 80 mm

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

80mm on this plane would be WAY too huge ;)

[@victorrcjets7660]

Smart technology is better, I think all the old releases will get upgraded 😉

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yes, and many have been to date. I wish some of the previously upgraded planes would get the AVIAN ESC for thrust reversing. P.S. We got our video done, and just getting ready to release it real soon!

[@ojeezrc]

Great flight 💪 for some reason when I use full throttle the power goes high and low . What's does that mean?

[@kirkh7953]

Could u not pull each esc and bind them to a receiver individually and program the reverse thrust through forward programming like other planes with 1 esc? Then reinstall and your done?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

No. I tried that, but it doesn't work ;( BUT, we JUST got it working today, with the programming box. It was like a 10 minute thing, and this A-10 is SWEEEEEEEEEEET with thrust reverse, and the pilot fatigue setting works perfectly on this bird!

[@1_9_9_]

Brian would you be able to run the plane on twin 2200mah 3s pack?

[@aidansrc2724]

i have to decide between this and the f16, which one is your favorite?

F-16 80mm - this is my favorite jet. A-10 is one of the most practical EDF's and very impressive in almost every regard.

[@aidansrc2724]
