E-flite A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 64mm EDF BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select (EFL011500)

A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 64mm EDF BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select A Smarter Warthog: The E-flite® A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 64mm EDF jet remains the best performing and easiest to fly high-performance model of the iconic U.S. Air Force aircraft that served with distinction in operations Desert Storm, Desert Fox, Enduring Freedom and others. The 6S compatible power system of this updated and upgraded model features an exclusive Spektrum™ Avian™ Dual Smart ESC that combines with the AR637TA receiver in the BNF® Basic version to provide real-time telemetry data — plus optional-use thrust reversing for shorter rollouts after landing — along with the advantages of AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. Functional features include LED navigation lights, operational flaps, twin rudders, and electric retracts with shock-absorbing struts. There's also a more durable, metal-geared nose gear steering servo that makes it more practical to fly from manicured grass and other rough surfaces. It's a superb scale replica and a Smarter "Hog" that offers an unmatched flying experience for a wide variety of pilots! The Best Handling, High-performance "Hog" Delivering high performance with easy handling, the original E-flite® A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 64mm EDF was the perfect first larger twin-powered jet model for a wide range of pilots. This updated and upgraded version has all of the same great features plus the benefits of exclusive Spektrum™ Smart technology! Its twin 11-blade 64mm fans, high-RPM brushless motors and 40-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Dual Smart ESC combine with your 6S 3200-4000mAh 30+C LiPo battery to deliver nearly unlimited vertical performance, level flight top speeds up to 110+ MPH and virtually instantaneous throttle response. The Smart ESC also provides real-time power system related elemetry data while you fly including battery voltage and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA in the BNF® Basic version) and Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters. With a 7+ channel transmitter, it also offers optional-use thrust reversing to shorten rollout after landing and provide other special ground handling capabilities. Nine factory-installed digital servos, including a metal-geared nose wheel steering servo, supply precise and reliable control. Functional features include LED navigation lights, operational flaps, twin rudders and electric retracts with shock-absorbing struts so you can fly from a variety of paved, packed dirt or manicured grass surfaces. It arrives factory-finished in the rare "Flipper" three-tone gray camouflage trim scheme with removable ordnance, molded-in panel lines, a cockpit with pilot figure and more contributing to the incredible scale looks. It all adds up to deliver a "Hog" that's sized for easy storage and transport while also offering an unmatched flying experience you'll enjoy flight after flight!
