Sorry…I spelled Agustin’s name wrong….This is Agustin’s new A-10 Warthog. A great plane, but with the rcommended 2200mah 3cell lipo we had only about a 3 minute flight before the battery went down and a tough crash ensued…. I tried to get is back in one piece…but it stalled at the end. I was trying to nose it down to get some air over the control surfaces….but you see the end result…… . 6 CH blitzrcworks A-10 Warthog Thunderbold II Aerobatic Radio Remote Control Electric Ducted Fan RC Fighter Jet RTF w/ Twin 64mm EDF

Pete has renovated the company. I ordered from them in the last couple of months and the service is great. The shipping is slower than Nitro planes by 2 days but hey, if nitroplanes doesn’t have what you want and Bananahobby does, go for it.
Google bananahobby and read the blog about it just below it. I was thinking of ordering until I read throug….. Wow don’t and if they did they are lucky or tools. They sell returned stuff and almost no one gets refunds from what I read.
0:45 is that a particle cannon
nice plane i want one ,but noooo way ill order from banana hobby
lol hence the name “Tank Killer”
What happens is, Li-Po batteries will be destroyed if they are discharged. They all have a point where you should NEVER discharge them any further, since we are not technids, when flying or just looking at the battery we can not tell when the battery should stop being discharged, When the ESC detects that the battery voltage is at the critical point, it will turn off the motors, and allow servo movement for a while. More than enough for the plane to come down safely.
I guess the battery life is based on few factors : The amount of throttle , Wind , style of flying and of course the battery quality. I have a F-18 and I can fly it for 8 mins but my friend can reach only 4 minutes. Same plane, same battery but different flying style.
banana hobby and pet THE PILOT are very bad.
they? have zero custumer service
they have zero sales service
if you buy from them you are crazy.
dont be fooled by the “PRITTY COLOR”
IF I AM WORONG THE THEY CAN CALL ME AND SELL ME A DAM A-10 WARTHOG. I SHALL POST THIS? COMET TO EVERY BANANA HOBBIE VIDEO I CAN FIND.
are you telling me that i still can have rudder/aileron/etc control even if battery dies in air? no thrust but can still make without engine?
3 mins of flight? what is he talking about that thing flew for like 6 mins
thinking about getting one of these but the battery/airtime issue is putting me off. is there an alternative ps? pussing a new rc plane into a runway after running flat is not my idea of fun.
Yup. Please fix your title.
The “A” in A-10 means “Attack”, as in air-to-ground.
The “F” in F-16, or other ‘F’ aircraft, means “Fighter”, as in air-to-air.
The F/A-18 was the only modern fighting aircraft designated with both an “F” and “A” ranking because of it’s capability with different configurations.
The A 10 is not a fighter jet… Its a Ground Support and Attack airplane.
Great job handling that A-10. I have the same one and what a challenge it is with elevator unless you have control of servo throws. I ended up dialing mine down to 60% servo throw on elevator due to up and down craziness, lol. Great job on 1st landing and looks like 2nd landing is repairable.
that is rough… nice plane I hope you were able to fix it!!!..
Set your timer my good sir…
Timer is of most importance on electrics.
OUCH!!,,, Ive just had this exact plane delivered a few days ago,, have just built it and glued everything to find that the 2 wing gears servos are dead and the back left ele servo is dead,, so annoying, so i gotta scalpel the engine unit off just to remove the servos - shite design,,, cant believe im maiming mine b4 first flight,, at least you had a great flight before tradgedy,
