E-flite UMX A-10 RC Jet Review Notes:
Pros:
- Ugraded EDF Units from 28mm to 30mm
- 3S power handling
- This can take advantage of a number of the Smart features
- The landing gear has been improved
- Strengthened nose and other weak points have received upgrades
Cons:
- A magnet was missing from the fuse to hold on the canopy. Not cool and it caused my canopy to come off during a rough landing on the maiden flight.
- IC2 connector for many, but not those that are already emersed in the Smart Ecosystem.
- The recommended CG in the manual is not correct for mine, but I quickly found the sweet spot.
This is how Horizon Hobby describes the updated E-flite UMX A-10 BNF Basic EDF Jet:
"The E-flite UMX A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 30mm EDF ultra micro jet is the most practical and easiest to fly A-10 RC model yet! New upgrades make this replica of the iconic U.S. Air Force aircraft easier for a wider variety of experienced pilots to enjoy — including those with limited EDF experience. The BNF® Basic model’s industry-leading Spektrum™ 2.4GHz technology binds to your 5+ channel DSMX/DSM2 transmitter for full 4-channel control, plus the benefits of exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE Select technologies. It’s 100% factory-assembled and ready to deliver an authentic A-10 jet flying experience almost immediately. The fully-molded airframe features a factory-applied "desert camo" trim scheme and is strengthened with a carbon fiber reinforced fuselage and nose. Factory-installed twin brushless power systems feature more powerful 2S and 3S-compatible outrunner motors with larger diameter 30mm fans, for improved vertical performance and speed compared to other models in its class — plus longer-than-average EDF flight times when using the recommended 450–850mAh LiPo batteries. Use the included fixed landing gear with steerable nose wheel to taxi, take off and land on paved, packed dirt or grass surfaces at large parks and fields. Or leave the landing gear off for more speed and vertical performance plus easy over hand launches and landings on grass. With the A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 30mm EDF, you can start flying your first mission within minutes!"
