Exclusive Technologies
This high-performance A-10 Thunderbolt II model is equipped with both exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch, making this the easiest to fly A-10 yet! And if you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, simply bind the receiver normally and only AS3X will be active.
Smart Technology
The A-10 64mm is equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian Dual Smart ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system related telemetry data while you fly including battery voltage and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA) and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6, 8 and 10, iX12, iX20 and others) while you fly. Plus, optional-use thrust reversing can help shorten rollout after landing and offers other special ground handling capabilities (7+ channel transmitter required for reversing).
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.
Functional Features
Factory-installed LED navigation lights, operational flaps and twin rudders are functional features that take your experience to another level.
Capable Gear
The factory-installed electric retracts are equipped with durable metal components including shock-absorbing struts that make it possible to fly from a wider variety of surfaces including paved runways and even manicured grass.
Durable Precision
Construction with fully-molded EPO material makes it possible to replicate complex detail and shapes in a lightweight yet durable form. The result is an outstanding scale appearance that's easy to maintain and delivers the best possible flight experience, plus the factory-installed servos with ball-link equipped linkages deliver crisp and precise control at every speed.
Extra Convenience
The one-piece, composite-reinforced wing is easy to install and remove for storage and transport thanks to the innovative hands-free connection system. And the convenient top-mounted hatch makes it quick and easy to install and remove batteries.
Unique Trim Scheme
The factory-applied paint and decal finish is inspired by the rare "Flipper" three-tone gray camouflage that was used on some A-10 aircraft in the early 90's and makes for a model you'll be proud to show off everywhere you go.

Put largest recommended bat.. (don't do that.. the battery at the furthest back position (front strap not even holding battery)would balance about .5in back from Wwing's leading edge... but that wasn't enough... it barely took off... once in air needed full power and full elevator to maintain slight climb. Unsustainable... result in slide slip in first bank to bring back for landing... smash. Done.lame

The front gear out of the box is weak and WILL break on you unless you land absolutely perfectly every time. However they do sell a replacement assembly with a metal rod down the middle instead of plastic covered with a piece of aluminum. They are super easy to switch out and will make the front gear much stronger. Other than landing it the plane is an absolute blast and definitely worth the money IF YOU HAVE THE SKILL to fly don’t attempt as a first airplane.

Took this out of the box and assembled in about 20 minutes. Don't forget to get all the other goodies or you will NOT be flying. Anyways, with fully charged batteries I flew it down my street, my neighbors loved it.

This is the 2nd A10 64 mm I've purchased. The first was my first EDF plane in October 2021. I agree with the the weak nose gear. mine sheared off on landing too fast not enough flare. 5000 mah battery.The hole plane It held up pretty well. I had to do a grass landing once but would not recommend for grass take off. I fly with a 4000 mah battery. The aircraft is simple fast and aerobatic.I sold it because I was moving.This new version I purchase with the advertisement of reverse thrust. I put it together, Bind and tried to program the esc. Only found out after full assembly that On Page 12 it says. "The Avian Smart ESC in this aircraft is equipped with thrust reversing, but it must be enabled before it will function. (SPMXCA200 programming box required, not included."That box cost another $30.00 plus shipping. So this now becomes and airplane that cost $460+ to use full functions.This has happened with Horizen Hobby products before. Not forth coming on the full cost. If you can find the previous version it flies great.

The E-flite A-10 is Kickass!Handled great off our grass runway, taking off and landing. This is a fast model that can do some insane maneuvers. Snap rolls are easy and the model slows down nicely. Just a touch of power as you land.

I do believe that a more robust nose landing gear is needed to support the weight and landing speed required by this plane for other than asphalt runway landing. My experience landing in grass was not one I can be happy with. The pin that holds the wheel to the retract assembly snapped right after the plane touched down and bleeding off momentum causing multiple damages to the nose, ordnance, and wings. I would suggest using smaller packs (i.e. 3200) if landing or surfaces other that asphalt, or consider other similar models. Plane looks very nice and flies very well over all. I just hope that e-flite will some more effort to improve this model, being sub $500.
