RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Another option is what I do, by using two 1000mah 20C LiPOs. I put one in the nose and one in the fuse. See my post at http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=8002708 for a photo. The Hobby City...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I flew mine on Tuesday... flies very well :D Loops, rolls and Cuban 8's are no problem.

I did mess up the landing and touched down short of the runway in some brush. Tore off one landing...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Welcome to the hobby!

Here are some comments from my experience with the A-10:

1. This is not a beginner's plane, even if you make the changes needed to get it to fly. I would strongly...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Nick,

Don't feel bad. There is a 10 year-old in our club that flies rings around most of the members, including me... I love it!

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I don't know how you were quoted $44 for shipping from Hobby City unless it was some kind of express shipping.

Here is the detail from one of my orders that included the same motors plus a lot of...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I suspect it's because I am limiting current to about 16 amps. The voltage drops to about 11V producing less than 180 watts per motor. I have found that with ducted fans it takes about twice the...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

See my configuration from the previous post.

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I am flying mine on 3S and two KV=4400 motors and it flies well, but I wouldn't call it "insane". Will yours climb vertically?

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I tried 11.1V with the stock motors once. It still barely had enough power to fly and was not really usable. RysiuM is correct. The only solution for this bird is to go brushless. Once you do...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Probably not lying, but not exactly honest either ;)

All I can say is that I tried flying it stock but with an 11.1V LiPO instead of the NiMH pack and I suppose it could have done what is in...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Many of us, including I, have tried to fly this plane on the stock motors with LiPO batteries and it DOES NOT WORK. The plane will barely fly at the edge of a stall. If your piloting skills are not...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

My only comments on your parts list are 1) the 1600mah batteries might be a bit heavy and hard to fit in the fuse. I use a pair of 1000 mah Zippys and they work very well for flights of about 5...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I bought an Omei 2000 glider from Nitro Planes a couple of years ago for a very low price and it has been a great airplane. The motor and fold-able prop that came with it had to be replaced but it...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I'm using two Zippy 1000mah (25C) 3 cell packs. I have also flown it with two ThunderPower 1320 (13C) 3 cell packs with throttle end point reduced to limit maximum current to 17 amps per pack. Both...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I use two TowerPro n20 Acro Brushless Speed Controllers from Hobby City, each one connected to it's own battery, with both BECs connected and it works fine. If you can safely do it or not depends on...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I thought mine would be overpowered too but it's not the case. I am flying mine on 400watts using the dual 1000mah battery setup and it flies well, not seeming to be overpowered. I'm using the...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

I second this opinion. I was able to barely get it to fly around the pattern with stock motors and a 3S LiPO. If you are an experienced pilot there is no advantage to doing it other than proving...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Parts of this description are obviously false. You can't do spins and stall turns without a rudder. Furthermore, if you look at the video there are lots of...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

$164.99 is much more like it :D

I agree that at that price it's as good or better of a deal than the original $95 setup. It will be interesting to see how well it actually performs with the...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Wow, that's quite a price increase. The original is a better deal, except for how much work it is to remove the old motors. I would have preferred to have them sell the original without the motors...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

Very sorry to hear about this. [:o]

Even though I never tried it, I am not surprised that it didn't fly at all with the stock battery. I did manage to fly mine once with an 11.1V LiPO and had...

RE: Nitro Planes A-10 Warthog for 95 dollars

The 1000 mah 25C Zippys work pretty well in this airplane. Takeoff performance was better than with the TP 1320's and the plane felt very lively with good climb capability. I was able to do some...
