The E-flite UMX A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 30mm Electric Ducted Fan Ultra Micro Jet is updated and upgraded for more durability and greater power — while AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technology make it easier to fly for newer pilots. The Real-World 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.

The BNF Basic model’s Spektrum 2.4GHz technology binds to the 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 out-runner 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. This versatile craft is ready for action!

This is a great first jet to get into!

Why? First its UMX small so easy to transport and uses relatively cheap batteries too!

Rudder command is very strong with two surface controls for rudder.
Tough - I've crashed mine more than a few times and repair has been done with foam to foam glue, tape and toothpicks! Still flying and yes, I will buy another and keep flying this A10 even after the wings finally fall off this one I'm currently flying! I have flown it a LOT this first RC plane flying summer for me!

Fast to bind up to my Spektrum NX8! Enjoying the bind and fly approach!

I moved from a mini aeroscount to Aeroscout, skip the Sport Cub S2 (not too happy with that plane: reliability issue with the ESC!! non crash related) currently flying the Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5M.

This plane is excellent for getting into Jets and other planes due to cost, size , performance and capable to fly in not so ideal windy scenarios.

I have new in box and unopened the Eflite F15, Drago, Dual 64mm EDF A10 Tomcat F14 Tomcat (on order, backordered). They are just waiting for me to get my skills up and this UMX A10 30mm is a great first jet!

EDIT: I have now opened and flew the Eflite F5 many times and still credit this A10 as a great entry into the EDF realm of rc planes.

By far one of the easiest and coolest UMX planes to fly just put in batteries and have fun. I flew mine in 10 mile hour winds (not recommended) but yet it flew like a champ. It’s fast and just so awesome. And just love amain hobbies is an awesome company to get yours fast shipping and great customer service
