Description

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 is 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 is a superb scale replica and a Smarter Hog that offers an unmatched flying experience for a wide variety of pilots.

Durable Design
Durable Design

The A-10 64mm boasts a lightweight yet incredibly durable airframe, constructed from fully-moulded EPO material. This allows for the replication of complex details and shapes, resulting in an outstanding scale appearance that's also simple to maintain. Factory-installed servos with ball-link equipped linkages deliver crisp and precise control at every speed, ensuring an exceptional flight experience.

Convenient Design
Convenient Design

The A-10 64mm offers extra convenience with its one-piece, composite-reinforced wing. This wing is easy to install and remove for storage and transport, thanks to an innovative hands-free connection system. A convenient top-mounted hatch also makes battery installation and removal quick and effortless, streamlining your pre-flight and post-flight routines.

Rare Trim Scheme
Rare Trim Scheme

The A-10 64mm showcases a unique trim scheme, with its factory-applied paint and decal finish inspired by the rare "Flipper" three-tone grey camouflage. This distinctive pattern was famously used on some A-10 aircraft in the early 90s, making for a model you'll be proud to display and fly wherever you go.

High-Performance EDFs
High-Performance EDFs

The twin 11-blade 64mm fans, high-RPM brushless motors and dual 40-amp Smart ESC combine with your 6S 3200–4000mAh 30+C LiPo battery to deliver nearly unlimited vertical performance and a fantastic speed range – including level flight top speeds up to 110+ MPH – with virtually instantaneous throttle response. This power system also delivers better performance and longer flight times than the 4S-compatible power systems used in similar class models.

Scale Details

The A-10 Twin 64mm EDF features an accurate outline and an abundance of scale details including molded-in panel lines and hatches, gun detail, and removable ordnance – more details than you typically find on similar class and smaller models.
