Product Description
Introduction
The A-10 Thunderbolt II, affectionately called the “Warthog” due to its aggressive look and unique Close Air Support (CAS) capabilities, is one of the most iconic U.S. Air Force aircraft of all time — valued highly for its excellent maneuverability at low speeds and altitude, and for being an accurate and survivable weapons-delivery platform. With its affordable and practical ultra micro size, the updated and upgraded E-flite UMX A-10 Twin 30mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) jet now enables more RC pilots to fly an exciting “Hog” replica in more places! It’s also more durable and more powerful, with a stronger, carbon-fiber reinforced nose and airframe and a 2S and 3S-compatible power system matched to 30mm fans. This Bind-N-Fly Basic aircraft comes equipped with exclusive Spektrum AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies and provides real-time battery voltage telemetry to compatible transmitters, making it easier than ever for more pilots to fly and enjoy.
