A-10 Thunderbolt II

Item No .: FJ 311

Thank you for purchasing our Freewing 80mm EDF jet A-10 thunderbolt II. The original A-10
Thunderbolt II is a single-seat twin-engine attack plane, produced by Fairchild. It is now the only
continuous service jet in US Air Force to provide intensive support for the ground forces.
The Freewing 80mm EDF A-10 Thunderbolt II's length is 1551mm (61.1”), wingspan is 1700mm
(66.9”).The main wing and horizontal tail have a hollow frame design which reduces the weight
effectively, and significantly increases main wing’s strength. Three control boards are installed on the
fuselage and both main wings . The ribbon wire connection reduces wire installation time, and increases
connection reliability. The model uses screws for assembly so you can assemble/disassemble it quickly

for convenience when carrying or shipping.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II model plane comes in a stock grey color scheme with most of the

factory decals installed. In the package, we include three different sets of fuselage decals, please

refer to the decal instructions and choose which set you want to use.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II model plane utilizes the newest 9-blade dual 80mm EDF with a
3530-1900KV brushless out-runner motor and 100A ESC. In flight, each side's continuous current is
about 85A. The A-10 Thunderbolt II model plane uses 2 x 5000mAh lipo batteries,the flight time is about

3.5 ~ 4 minutes, the max flight speed is about 180KPH / 110MPH.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II has excellent flight characteristics in both high and low speed flight as well as

excellent short takeoff and landing capabilities. The new 70mm nose wheel and 85mm rear wheels
allow you to operate from all types of runways.

Enjoy your new The A-10 Thunderbolt II !

Steel wire use instructions

Our tests show that excessively long servo extension lines increase the rise of poor connections that can lead to servo
brown outs or failure, causing accidents during flight. Instead, this kit contains a steel wire that can be used to pull the
main wing/elevator and rudder servo wires through the airplane to the battery compartment, eliminating the need for
extension wires.
