With its affordable and practical ultra micro size, the updated and upgraded E-flite® UMX™ A-10 Twin 30mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) jet now enables more RC pilots to fly an exciting \"Hog\" replica in more places! It’s also more durable and more powerful, with a stronger, carbon-fiber reinforced nose and airframe and a 2S and 3S-compatible power system matched to 30mm fans. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eScale replica of the iconic aircraft flown by the U.S. Air Force for Close Air Support and other missions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe easiest to fly and best handling ultra micro A-10 EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) jet model yet\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImproved vertical performance and speed compared to other ultra micro class EDF models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMore powerful 2S and 3S-compatible outrunner motors with larger diameter 30mm fans\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFits 450–850mAh LiPo batteries for a wide range of performance and flight times\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrengthened airframe including a carbon fiber reinforced fuselage and nose\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReal-time battery voltage telemetry via compatible Spektrum™ transmitters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpektrum receiver with industry-leading 2.4GHz DSMX® technology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe unmatched stability and locked-in feel of exclusive AS3X® technology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEasy to fly with optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope protection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompletely factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStronger removable landing gear with steerable nose wheel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFull 4-channel control with functional dual rudders\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFactory-applied \"desert camo\" trim scheme finish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExclusive Technologies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis UMX™ A-10 is equipped with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X®, SAFE® Select and telemetry technologies.
