XFly A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 50mm RC EDF Jet PNP - Model AV8R Review 

Quality content. This channel never disappoints.

Adam, your content is always fantastic! Very organized, professionally presented and expert knowledge shared. Love it and appreciate the channel!!

Thanks for an informative video ...I have wanted an A10 for some time....I just purchased the A10 thru your link to Banana Hobbies for $189...couldn't resist...

THX Adam! This is the only jet on my wish list!! this one looks cool!!! Love the "Hand launch" grip, need to do this on other planes I have!

As always a really nice presentation of the little A-10. Great job!

Nice review Adam. I really like the A-10 and it looks like a great model of it to have fun with.

If I were a Jet guy..... Great Presentation as always. Excellent upgrade advise.

Great review, as always!

Adam great review, have been using the up elevator to throttle mix for years which really makes a hand toss better for sure. Xfly EDF Jets are a blast, zoom zoom zoom Jeff in LA USA

Adam knows his shiznit….Honest, Professional, Facts only and no BS! He’s my go to guy to learn everything I don’t know yet! SUBSCRIBE! 👍🏻✌🏻🏁

great flight and info ! 👍👍

5 🌟👌Review. The A-10 is definitely my favorite warbird, I only have 'bout 5 of em from UMX's to the big Freewing 🤠 and enjoy them all.

I've had my eye on this one for a while, looks like I may need to give one a try 😉

I love how you break everything down in this video! 🎉

Great Jet indeed. Love the set up & flights Adam + the tee. If i bought this model, i would install an oleo front gear. A hobby shop in Hong Kong sells this to suit for a few dollars. Wonderfully flown & filmed guys 🇺🇸🇦🇺

Great info and flight. Your landings are the best!

Thank you so much for the shoutout ❤

🤩I love the A10, very nice review Adam, thanks for doing what you do! ☠Semper Fi!

Awesome flight great job Adam 👍👍

I bought this plane a couple of months ago. When hand launching, it similar to throwing a spear, slight angle up, Safe on. For landings, I coated parts of the bottom with 30 minute epoxy. For the front, I bought some heavy spring wire and bent it into a shallow hook, ground part of if flat to utilize the nose gear mount and lock it place. This keeps the nose out of the ground and at least I can keep the gun in place. The little pod was wiped out on my second flight. She's heavy but I love how the plane flies, to me she's a EDF version of a P-51.

Outstanding!

Well done review.. (as always...). What an impressive little plane.. Great vertical performance and stable.. Great tips on the handlaunch grippy thingy, but you really need Heidi a 3D printer for her craft room.. 🙂

Hi Adam it's Lee from UK. You may remember me I was a returning rc flyer after watching one your shows decided to get the fms pitts quite few months ago now. Well I got the pitts done with red and white checkers on it and USA flags on cowling painted rivets and even dolly bird on pitts with 100esc with carbon 16x10 prop. Well now I have these models to maiden 1/4 SE5A, 1/4 Youngminster, 1/4 Stampe, 1/4 Balsa usa Sopworth pup, 1/4 Gypsy Moth and tiger moth and 1/4 sukhoi all electric planes. wish you could test fly them lol but I get job done one flight at time. Thanks for your shows and letting me find the hobby back again chocks away 😊

Awesome Flying as usual!!! Thank you for your prayers 🙏🏼 I saw the reply in the other video before I looked at this one. Hope you and Mrs Heidi have a great day and a awesome weekend!

TOP REVIEW BEST ALL AROUND GREAT ADVICE 👍

Great review of a great EDF model, I love flying my one!! Although not as well as you Adam, doesn't it sound great too, as always great filming and editing Heidi 😀👍

Great video !! You inspired me to get one so off to Madian tomorrow morning🇺🇸

Adam, one very Comprehensive review of the Xfly A10 - but you did forget to say one thing - "DO NOT DO WHAT FT DID - make sure you strap you battery down "!.. if you don't - give yourself 1.5 mins of wonderful flying time and watch it smash into the ground because the battery moved all the way into the nose !!!! - it is then fit for the trash 😞

A lot to like about this model. The size, simplicity and battery requirements check the boxes for me.The T-7A 64mm is a beautiful model and will be my first X-Fly plane. This A-10 will be the second.

I used 2800 dynamite packs , very hot , then 2600 roaring top , much better , now I use smc 2800 Hv and they still are warm when done , fun plane You fly that plane better than they do the in the promo vid

Awesome model and great piloting! Now you just need to weather that bad boy to look combat seasoned including about 50 or more holes thru the body lol

Another plane that your skills made shine, Adam! I wish there was more appreciation out there for quality content like yours, that come with a lot of good background info and more of a documentary style, rather than commercial. Stay with this presentation, it is a very welcome contrast to other channels, where the audience is overstimulated with ‘awesome’ shouts and how much fun the plane is. I hope your channel will get the attention that it deserves, very soon! Now, after all the praise, a final comment on the A10 😅: Even a single EDF can turn a battery into a handwarmer, so, the actual surprise is, that the dual EDF don’t make it burst into flames. 😂 One might guess, that such discharge cycles might make LiPos age dramatically. (Like frequently charge at 5C - it won’t explode, but don’t be surprised if it only reaches half the advertised cycles.) Amazing, how much of an impact the landing gear has! You were right with all you said, but I found it very noticeable/impressive, how much faster the A10 flew without it. Is this also some EDF typical characteristic? Haven’t noticed this as much on a prop plane. I personally think, that there is little that is more graceful, like a well performed take off or landing on a gear, but for the sake of flight performance, I would probably leave it off most of the times - and certainly copy your launching aid 😊 👍🏻. Great job and very helpful recommendations. Thank you!

Great review Adam. When I get mine assembled, I'll be using smc 2800. 2200 just aren't enough for this one. AH...

Looks like a little beast, Adam! That's another thorough review. I ask myself, is there a better channel than Model AV8R for this in-depth stuff? Answer is that I don't think so.

Great info Adam, I’ve still to build and fly mine yet my prob is I’ve run outta space to store them I need a bigger hanger lol 😂

Great review! I don't have an EDF jet. I like longer flight times and I like my batteries to keep working well. Does anyone have a feel for any loss of performance as these type batteries continue to make 'jet' flights? Thanks, and this does look like a capable and fun jet.

Why are the two landing gears pointing in the same direction? Shouldn't the right gear be pointing outward aswell? Beautiful plane and great review.

what would be the first step up for an a10 model with actual rudders?

Do you know how long battery time the a 10 has when using the battery you use?

Just want to say thanks very much for the shoutout , made my day! Also was it a narrow bladed prop you put on the bison xt?

How hard would it be to make the gear retractable?

I have the big 6s version with a broken nose gear. I might make it a belly lander like this haha if it dies it dies haha 🎉

Does it have safe?
