I just got the UMX A-10 a few days ago. I wanted one when they first came out but all the negative reviews about the weak fuselage stopped me. But some recent reviews that said it was a fantastic flyer got me interested again.
Anyway, they were right, very, very flimsy from wing forward. I was afraid it would break just removing the battery.
I removed the velcro battery mount and used some 1/32" plywood slightly wider than the velcro and glued horizontally to the sides with very thin coat of 5 minute epoxy, then replaced velcro.
At the front of the hatch opening I used two vertical strips of the plywood on each side with 1/4" square balsa stick glued between. Much more durable now.
I got 7 flights on it and it does fly great, no gear belly landing on grass. I am very satisfied with it and would replace it.
I'll post some pics of the mods later...

Stay tuned. We've been working very hard for a long time and many new planes are going to be released in the next 4-5 months. In addition to new planes, we have an additional color scheme for an existing plane we'll announce next week. After the new color scheme, the next new plane will be announced a week or so after that. Both of these are on the water already. We're in the process of capturing video and pictures. If everything lines up, we'll announce two more planes at Joe Nall in the Fall. If for some reason that does not line up, the announcement will hopefully be shortly after that. More coming after this but exact time frames are less clear. By the early part of next year, it will become clear how busy we have been behind the scenes.
