I couldnt be more disappointed in the a-10 from guan li i bought a few weeks ago I dont think they ever tested or even flew this plane I want a fefund or some support from you guys for this plane. please help. I think the motors or speed control are wasted just get clicks from motors and the battery is severly lacking thank you in advance for your response
I've tested both versions.
Did you get the brushed or brushless version.
If you are getting "clicks" from the brushed version, this indicates that you did not properly hook up the motors... normally it means that one of the leads is not making contact. All three leads must be connected. from the respective ESC to it's corresponding motor.
The instructions do not go into this, so you are left to puzzle this out on your own.
Unfortunately new fliers may not be used to dealing with this.
The supplied LiPo pack also produices about a 1:1 thrust to weight ratio which is pretty good for an EDF.

If you received the brushed version... the provided pack ideally should be replaced with a slightly higher voltage as suggested in "what the pro's say" entry.
Clicking indicates that the battery is not producing enough current to trigger the brushed motor turning over, but it is likely that the connections and BRUSHED ESC are fine.
