  • Опубликовано: 4 май 2017
  • The Freewing 80mm A-10 was specifically designed to be the most grass-capable PNP EDF on the market. The A-10’s all-new power system delivers a fully scale flight profile. Tall vertical loops, hard “jinking” turns, stable slow flight, and authoritative power. Critically, this model was designed to fly at all throttle points, both upright and inverted, without pitch sensitivity. For more info visit www.motionrc.com/collections/...

    I built this a year ago. Still fear it. But that didn’t stop me from upgrading the gear and now buying four Nerf whistles. The info on placing the 2 whistles in the nacelles was great info. Thanks Mike!

    @sector7offshore Год назад

    You keep making the comment that there is NO Flex! Maybe put a camera on the canopy and go for a flight. There is plenty of flex from everyone that has recorded thier flight. It reveals the fundamental difference of foam vs other structural mediums. The wings flex in any pitch pull and the body flex around the nacells as you throttle up or down. Still a great model.

    Been thinking of purchasing this beautiful bird come December 2017 when i have the extra cash and always wanted an A-10 but they were always turbine power or some cheap knock off electric.. But I was wondering how easy is it to transport? I only have a mid size SUV and transporting it in one piece is not an option for me. I guess what I'm asking is do the wings come off and go back together easily?

    • @MotionRC
      @MotionRC  7 лет назад

      It takes about 2-3 minutes to put the wings together. Capt. Mike has over 300 flights and still counting. No worries.

      Waterslide decals? You have to soak them in water for a minute or 2 then slide them off and onto the model. We have a tip video on how to apply them on our Tips playlist. You can find it on our youtube home page

      @@vincentmounsey If you only fly BNF planes, then there is no "easy" way if what you seek is AS3X (I assume for safe?). Push come to shove, setting up a standard receiver is "easy" and a model like an A-10 doesn't really need a gyro as it is a very stable airframe to begin with. Long wings, lots of wing area. They can be really graceful.
