Introduction
The A-10 Thunderbolt II, affectionately called the "Warthog" due to its aggressive look and unique Close Air Support (CAS) capabilities, is one of the most iconic U.S. Air Force aircraft of all time — valued highly for its excellent maneuverability at low speeds and altitude, and for being an accurate and survivable weapons-delivery platform.

This Bind-N-Fly Basic aircraft comes equipped with exclusive Spektrum AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies and provides real-time battery voltage telemetry to compatible transmitters, making it easier than ever for more pilots to fly and enjoy.

Scale replica of the iconic aircraft flown by the U.S. Air Force for Close Air Support and other missions
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. 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.
- 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!
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- With the A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 30mm EDF, you can start flying your first mission within minutes!
Exclusive Technologies
AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel. 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 to make this the easiest to fly Warthog ever
Higher Performance
The factory-installed twin brushless power systems feature larger diameter 30mm fans with more powerful 2S and 3S-compatible outrunner motors. This upgraded power system setup delivers higher performance than the 28mm fans and 2S-compatible motors installed in previous UMX models to offer unmatched speed and vertical performance, plus longer-than-average EDF flight times when using the recommended 450–850mAh 30+C LiPo batteries with an IC2 connector.
More Durable
The fully-molded and strengthened airframe includes a carbon fiber reinforced fuselage and nose. The result is a more durable model that looks great and is still lightweight to deliver the best possible flight experience!
Gear Options
You can use the included fixed landing gear with steerable nose wheel to taxi, take off and land on smooth surfaces. Or you can leave the landing gear off for more speed and vertical performance plus easy over hand launches and landings on grass.

What else can I say. It's an Eflight. Flies perfectly right out of the box. The V2 is more ridged, more durable.

It’s actually a very easy jet to fly if you have basic skills. Flew it about four or five times. On the last flight I made a pilot error very close to the ground and it truly did break into a million pieces. There is no room for error on this little guy. As long as you don’t make a mistake, great plane just not durable anyone who claims this is trash doesn’t know how to fly a micro edf

I gotten defective stuff from amazon before but its usually chinese products and never two times in a row. The first plane i got didnt even power up so i returned it and ordered a new one the same day because i knew it would take a month to refund my money. I receive this plane and they look so good, its big for a umx and my first edf. i plug it in and it beeps like its binded up before i even bind it i go through the binding procces and everything works except the throttle. unplug and reconnect and the throttle works so i go to taxi across my kitchen floor and notice one of the jets isnt spinning . i really want this plane but idk of im gonna order a third

Ground handling can be tricky, but once in the air so sweet.

Fun jet to fly, lots of power. I've owned the bigger A-10 one too, but the small one is just as much fun.If you want a nice jet park flyer. I'd highly recommend this A-10

I LOVE this plane, it’s small, has great maneuverability, looks beautiful, and is very powerful for its size (around 70mph), some things like high alphas are difficult but scale maneuvers and beyond scale maneuvers are a breeze and the plane looks excellent while doing so.**BUT THIS IS NOT A FIRST PLANE**First of all this listing of this plane is BNF Basic (Bind And Fly) which means you still need a battery, charger, and transmitter, which is pricey. Secondly this plane is not easy to land, its stall characteristics are pretty brutal at times and without a decent sized runways slowing down enough without stalling can be difficult, and if you try and hand launch it without a second person sometime a wingtip will stall and dip that side into the ground pretty nastily and without both hands it’s can be almost impossible to recover from. Also if you do get into a crash it will likely be pretty nasty because this plane is not very durable. The nose is quite weak but most of the time it’s nothing a little glue and tape can’t fix. The big one though is the steerable nose wheel likes to come loose of the foam and break and that is a pain to fix (some hot glue in the hole should fix it).Lastly if you do pick up this wonderful warbird get the Asurion protection plan that is offered with it because no matter now experienced of a pilot you are, if you are flying this plane regularly you will probably crash it (or have a rough landing) and having the peace of mind that it reallly doesn't matter if you crash it is great.

The CG is nose heavy with the Spektrum 850mah battery all the way back and when I picked it up up from the tail section off my CG stand it broke it off, I was not a happy camper, This may just be a wall hanger. I have never flown this plane, Money wasted on A POS of a great looking airplane.

This is a relatively easy ducted fan to fly. Yes it is fast so it isn't for novice flyers but for sure intermediate or above flyers will find it easy to handle. To land it properly you need to be a throttle jockey as you have to constantly run the throttles to control landing approach and attitude. However, throttle control on landing is a skill anyone needs to handle higher performance models and especially ducted fans.I usually build everything from scratch but this little ARF is a blast. considering buying the larger Eflite A-10 based on the handling properties of this A-10.

This was my 15yr old son’s first rc plane and I wouldn’t buy it again.Started with the accessories needed. they recommend using it with horizon hobby proprietary connections. We didn’t know enough to not. But it adds up. Expect an additional $200 on top of the plane.The landing gear didn’t work right from day one, which caused us a huge problem, as it couldn’t go in a straight line. We launched it into the air to get it going and then he had to hit the power to the engines which then resulted in it taking off very fast and straight into a tree. This is partly the result of us being unable to ease our way into understanding how it worked through the throttling and takeoff process.The canopy flew off mid flight and flying into thr tree destroyed the tail. We are working on the repair but it’s a major disappointment for a $400 investment.Look elsewhere.

Brilliant flier and impressive scale detail. It is a pity that E-flite make use of such poor quality foam. The battery bay edges are extremely fragile. If you don't take great care they will break away and crumble very easily.
