Official Freewing Twin 80mm EDF A-10 Thunderbolt II Super Scale V2 Thread

The V1 was a good bird as is. The V2 is worth the extra money in terms of power system and scale details.

My V2 is done as a fantasy livery in honor of the 85th anniversary of the Flying Tigers this year.

The power system on the V2 is very efficient compared to the V1. I suggest you visit the SMC site and read the technical papers. You will learn a lot about the hype related to “C” rating.

Suggest that you spend the time reading all the posts in this forum. There is a lot of good info here.

Love this bird!

Just maidened mine today. CG 15 mm behind the book position. 2x 6s 5000 CHNL 70C lipos. No ordeenance. Flew extremely well , very stable with a great roll rate on HI.
Landings were very straightforward.

Hi everyone, I just received my new A10 v2 with gyroscope and I have a quick question. As you can see in the photo, it has a UBEC connector on one of the plugs and an empty cable on the other.

I understand the UBEC goes to my receiver, but what about the other cable?

I recently had that same question. It is for folks who install afterburner add ons. If you don’t install an afterburner, leave it unconnected.

Thank you so much!! Question answered then! 😀

Many of today's foam planes come with this, even ones that have only one ESC. It's like a "PTO" on industrial vehicles. People are finding more and more reasons for a power access point.

I use it for afterburners or, on my P-51, the sound system. Could also use it to rig an anti spark.

Thanks for the answers! Question answered 😃
I will soon begin assembling my new A10

I use mine to measure pack voltage for the Radio Master XR8 receiver.

Guys, I'm getting ready to take the plunge here... I'm leaning towards the inrunner version with gyro (I'll use AS3X+ instead). Anybody have a vote in favor of the slightly cheaper outrunner version?

thnx gliderguy i bought 2 smc HCL-HP 4400 mah 6 cells and 2 HCL-HP 5200 Mah 6 cell packs, im going to see how my maiden goes this week and each pack, might get another pair of the SMC 4400's,a little shorter flight time and lighter

[GliderGuy]

Hi JS78,

I think you'll find that weight won't be an issue. The V2 has TONS of power. Lighter batteries will allow you to move the CG more aft, of course.

Get the inrunners there way more efficient 5min+ flight time. I made the mistake of buying the outrunner version and the flight times were just over 4min I purchased and swapped out for the inrunners and way more power and longer flight time.
