Rysium,
Yes you are a celebrity. I purchased my Guanli A-10 about 2 weeks ago and, it arrived in less than a week, very nice. I put it together according to the poorly written instructions and it looks so cool. I have no RC flying experience except for the time spent on FMS while waiting for the plane to arrive. I took the A-10 out to a local ballfield and was able to get airborne in about 50 ft with a pretty decent headwind. I had not conditioned the battery so the flight only last about 2 mins and I brought it in for a pretty hard nose and left wheel landing(almost stuck it) no damage except bending the nose gear wire and popping out the left gear mount(same as you).
Overall I'm pleased with my first solo/maiden flight of a real RC plane and I love my A-10, I was very nervous as you could imagine but it was way easier to fly than I expected after reading so many post stating that this is a tough plane to fly for a beginner. I already repaired the gear, and can't wait for the next flight. I plan on doing the motor upgrade at some point but for now I'm going to do the steering mod and get the Black and Decker batteries, do you think they are safe for the stock electronics? I'm far from doing any kind of aerobatics. I'm just doing turns, touch and goes and landings for awhile until I'm completely comfortable with them.
Thank you so much for all of this info. I've learned more from this particular thread than from any person that I've asked for advise in person.
Im very happy to hear that you were able to fly it with no problem. I like so many others out there and your self included have purchased this bird with no previous aircraft experience. Now, I relize there are some people that might not adapt to it as quickly as you have, but in my case Ive been flying heli's for a while now and just dont want to waist money on a trainer AC that i would quickly become board of. I purchased this AC becase the flight caracteristics of the Real plane(with its large serface area) means Its a good flyer at slow speeds. That to me says its a good trainer. I would like other newbies to post some of your success or failers with this AC. I will do the same when I recieve it.
happy flying
