    For you guys in the comments, we personally found that the A-10 handled incredibly well with Du-Bro 2.5" low bounce treaded main wheels and a 2" nosewheel of the same make and type. Gets rid of all that rattling the plastic wheels do and adds even more suspension to the gear. They aren't as great for grass without the wheel upgrade since the main struts are stiffer than they seem. But overall this jet is phenomenal, and Brian here flies it like a pro even if it's only his fourth or fifth flight with it. ;)
    Also, we covered the nav light flashing. You can unscrew the wing plugs and remove the resistor that's in-line with the LED wires via a servo plug embedded in the wing. Takes about 5 minutes to fix and looks way better after it's removed.

      @TwoBrosRC 9 місяців тому +1

      @@MWall711 Happy to hear it! Crow isn't needed, but it certainly improves the landing characteristics if you're after a higher throttle landing. A-10s can be fickle to land, and a lot of it comes down to a good center of gravity. They're surprisingly OK with being flown with the CG right over the main wheels, but a CM in front of them isn't bad either.

    I have two of these fab A10s. One in use and one for later.
    The only things that have gone wrong are the XT90 connector melted so was replaced with EC5. And the front gear mounting is a bit weak so it popped out after a heavy landing. This has been reinforced and is now very robust.
    Thanks for the video, I'm amazed you can land the A10 on your short strip !

      Thanks, and yeah, GREAT plane. She's a handfull to put down on a short runway, but she'll do grass ops fine here. As for the nose gear...I bet this A-10 (and EVERY A-10) could use a nose job after a few rough or unscheduled landings ;)

This spring im buying either the sport cub, or that plane that has the prop behind the cabin???. Has a rounded nose. Now, i love gas engines, i been riding motorcycles all my life, but the draco is a damn amazing plane. I seen Mike pateys channel and the crash he had, and when horizon revealed the model to him, that brought tears. If the made the draco have a gas engine, that would be totally awesome. I can't wait for spring!...i just looke on horizon its called the aeroscout s. Awesome plane. 2 batteries, charger, controller, reciever and servos installed, and plane, 230$....is there a better deal than that?

    • @BrianPhillipsRC
      @BrianPhillipsRC  8 місяців тому +1

      Where there's a will, there's a way, but I have to say - A-10's are not always easy to do things like that with, due to the thickness of the body, compared to the packs used to fly them. I's love to see DUAL pack setup for TWIN's, since they do tend to be battery chewers...but this one seems to be okay in that regard. The Arrows F15 is one that comes to mind as an EXTREME battery eater.

      Even for a beginner, we recommend starting with no less than an NX7e or NX8. If you know you're hooked already, just jump straight to the NX10.
      Lots of people start out with an NX6 or even a DX6e to save some money, but usually end up outgrowing that transmitter fairly quickly and upgrade to an NX8 or NX10 anyway. If you can, save yourself the middle step and just get what you need/want.

    This EDF/Jet is Freakin Awesome!!! Brian, I tried to fit in 2 Avian ESC's, but there is not enough room to fit them in where the already installed ESC's from FMS, they are Extremely slim style/size compared to the Avians. So until they slim down and lighten the weight of the 80Amp-100Amp Avians that's not an option. Boring out the area would not be a good idea, it would probably lose structural integrity for the weight of the twin motors. If they do like they did with the latest version Eflite twin 64mm A-10 and did a single esc with dual motor outputs???. Just think of having thrust reverse Though???

    • @M4rkmcc21

I'm still trying to figure out how get everything working in my FMS F7F TigerCat 1700mm. Which I have 2 Avian 60Amps installed. It flies wonderfully with them installed. Might even have more vertical/ups, even though I think they are lower in Amps than stock ESC's?? Better power delivery??

    • @M4rkmcc21
      @M4rkmcc21 9 місяців тому

      ​@scottfinney4356 they don't. If you want the telemetry then try the Avian 70A lite. I doubt this dual set up pulls more than 70A each sharing the same battery. On the FMS Viper 70 it pulls about 72A and that's being supplied with a lipo all to itself. Other option is having the 80A freewing esc and using an AR637T and fit the supplied Voltage telemetry cable so you have V on your TX screen.

    @davidmcclain5180 9 місяців тому

    I have this plane and it is a nice flyer. However, my complaint is that the flight times are low because it eats batteries due to running two EDF motors. I've used and have SMC 6200s, HRBs and Zee batteries. After 2:30, in my experience you need to land or the batteries will get hot and only have about 15% left. Basically, you have right around 3 minutes total before really running the batteries low and getting them hot. This is just my experience and maybe yours is or will be different.
