One has to wonder just how long you have been flying and working with RC models madtown. I am not an oldtimer by any means but I purchased the same plane you are having issues with. Assembly was straight forward with a little research and reading on the forums. I had a number of "small" issues with mine (ailerons attachment was less than workable but easily fixed with clear packing tape) but still nothing that an experienced modeler would not be able to handle.
As far as your brushed motors go.......... did you in fact break them in? I will run both of mine using a D cell battery in order to properly seat the brushes. This is not brain surgery but also it is not something a new model owner would be aware of. I found that by "breaking in" my brushed motors on my heli's that the motor ran more smoothly and lasted longer than my first motor did with no break in. The main problem with the supplied brushed motors with the A-10 is that there is no way to remove the impellors without destroying them. If anyone has found a way to safely remove them I would be grateful to see the process.
Lets face it............. a RTF model for around $100 shipped to your door is not going to be the same as buying a top of the line ARF or RTF for easily 3 times the price. These are low end "fun flying" models with cheap hardware, servos, motors and ESC's. I don't believe the videos linked on this thread are fabricated, I believe the person who flew the model just did his homework and set his plane up properly and took the right steps to ensure a successful first (and more importantly) subsequent flights.
Tossing insults and whining on an internet forum are about as useful as using a sock to drink coffee from. You should take opjose's advice and PM Nitrostaff1 with your issues and let him try and resolve them. If he does in fact send you new motors (brushed) take the time to break them in and also make sure you ask for new impellers. They are NOT reusable. Do what it takes to make YOUR plane fly......... they are not going to come to your house and fix it for you.
