arrrggg!!!! what a gutless wonder!!! we tried flying the A-10 on Saturday. never had a range issue seeing how the only time I was more then 100 ft. away from the plane was during the "high speed taxiing" at full throttle and after about 80 ft of runway I got the plane about 6 ft in the air going into a small headwind of about 2-3 MPH. the "spruce goose" wanted to stall at a very mild climb rate so I leveled it off and flew it for 30-40 feet before it started loosing altitude and landing it out in a grass field. tried 2 more times with roughly the same effect. I tried swapping the battery from my Super Cub in it to see if the higher mah (SC is 1000 vs 650mah A-10) would help but had the same effect.
a little later some guys came out flying some planes and I talked to one of them and he said he has that plane and after swapping out the RX and servos to some better ones and installing a brush less ESC and two brush less 370's the plane flys really good. unfortunately he didn't have it with him at the time so I couldn't see it fly.
