Everything arrives extremely well protected in the big box for this A-10. After unpacking you'll be surprised how few parts there are but this makes assembly time a small number of minutes. The instructions are very clear and you will have you receiver plugged in and have this model setup on your transmitter very quickly. We especially liked that the decals are pre-applied and in combination with the arctic camouflage scheme this looks like a real aggressive A-10.
Our version of this A-10 came with the FMS Reflex flight stabilisation system. This requires an extra channel configured to a 3 position switch so you can move between Stabilized, Optimized and Off modes.
Stabilized mode:
Designed for beginners, Reflex will rapidly level the aircraft from any attitude when this mode is activated. Stabilized mode combines accelerometer and gyro data to determine how to level the aircraft when the control sticks are released - giving pilots absolute peace of mind.
Optimized mode:
Utilizing advanced solid-state gyros, the Reflex system maintains aircraft attitude by counteracting inflight upsets - from gusts to crosswinds. With Reflex, even small aircraft will fly with the confidence of something much larger!
Off:
Turns off all gyro functionality, the aircraft is flown completely manually by the pilot when the gyro is off.
A 6S5000 to 6S6500 pack is required with an XT90 connector. Ensure you get the 80mm to 85mm CG balance from the leading edge of the wing. I use the 6S6000 60C packs from 4-Max.
The two 70mm EDF units get this A-10 in the air very quickly. Use half flap on take off and it will jump off the deck. Cruise at half throttle and you will get a good 5-6 minutes flight time if combined with a few full throttle passes and vertical climbs. Aerobatic flight is rewarding with this A-10. Rolls are smooth and full power enables very climb to pull over a reversal from a cruising speed. At 1.5 metres wingspan this A-10 is big but the single 6S pack keeps it light and agile.
Landings are easy. Throttle to idle, let the A-10 slow, put in full flap and add throttle on finals to maintain speed, pick up the nose with a touch of elevator to try and touch the mains down first and then the nose wheel.

Awesome flying dom what a beautiful jet

[@EssentialRC]

For a first flight that's about as good as it gets. Can't wait to fly it faster and lower with some different onboard angles. Thanks for taking the time to comment buddy.

[@gazza4230]

[@IceMan2035]

FMS makes some great planes and hit it on the head with the A10. I like both brands's models. Great flight in those conditions.

[@socalrcconstructionscrcc6245]

Awesome plane

[@EssentialRC]

I think so too!

[@andrewallan6802]

What a smashing aircraft! Thank you for sharing. Where is the camera fitted?

[@EssentialRC]

Under one of the horizontal stabilisers at the back. Great for capturing moving parts on aircraft. Use it all the time.

[@samabrine6803]

It's awesome if realy can fly 15 min🎉🎉

[@EssentialRC]

Eh, no. It can be assembled and ready to fly in 15 minutes. Flight time is 5-6 minutes.

[@samabrine6803]

@EssentialRC that it's sadly 😥 cause though that really can fly it in 15 min Do we have any jet toy can fly in 10 min 🤔

[@8BitPasta]

The onboard/undercarriage footage was something to behold, just beautiful!

[@EssentialRC]

Yeah. I like adding that especially when the landing gear is scale like on this A-10

[@8BitPasta]

@@EssentialRC yeah it's such a showcase! I think it's the Horizon Lock that makes it that extra bit special, seeing the plane spin around like that just looks incredible. Love your videos mate.

[@EssentialRC]

Appreciate the feedback buddy 👍

[@markmcc21]

​@Essential RC what camera is it you are using? Insta360? How do you secure the boom to the plane? Was really enjoying this footage 👍🏾

[@EssentialRC]

@@markmcc21 I am using Insta360 GO2 action camera and the pivot stand that you can get for it but I added strong velcro so can be attached to any RC. I will do a video in the near future showing what I use and how I film.
