Renowned by its crews and the men and women it has protected on the ground for decades, the A10 Thunderbolt II, affectionately called the ‘Warthog’, continues to dominate the skies on CAS missions in conflict areas around the world. Despite first flying over 40 years ago, the A10’s superior ability to execute its intended mission in modern warfare remains unchallenged.

To honor this iconic aircraft, Xtreme Hobby and Freewing Models are very proud to announce the world’s largest and most definitive foam electric PNP A10 Thunderbolt RC model aircraft in the world! Powered by twin 80mm EDFs, this 1700mm wingspan beast is larger than the two 1500mm wingspan twin 70mm EDF A10s on the market, while still remaining easy to transport. The Freewing 80mm A10 delivers the best balance between size, weight, thrust, top speed, stall speed, transportability, rough grass handling, and overall scale fidelity. As an added bonus we've included for free a full complement of highly detailed weapons in the box; a $59 value at no cost to you!

The model is assembled from just ten main parts and as our build video below shows, in less than 25 minutes. Removable wings and a convenient flexible servo wire harness accessible at the wing root ensures a safe and reliable electronic connection at all times. The A10’s wings are composed of hollow chambered foam with an interlocking matrix of plywood ribs, carbon square spars, and aluminum blocks, providing rigid yet supple handling.

Recognizing requests from our customers who don’t have access to smooth paved runways, the Freewing 80mm A10 was specifically designed to be the most grasscapable PNP EDF on the market. While sporting a scale Oleo nose strut, the main struts are tensioned trailing links. With foam rubber tires over 3” tall and 1” wide, we tested the Freewing 80mm A10 to takeoff from extreme grass 3” tall. The main landing gear mounts are arranged as part of the aforementioned plywood, carbon, and aluminum matrix, to distribute rough landing forces throughout the wing and avoid critical damage.

In the air, the A10’s allnew power system delivers a fully scale flight profile. Tall vertical loops, hard “jinking” turns, stable slow flight, and authoritative power. Critically, this model was designed to fly at all throttle points, both upright and inverted, without pitch sensitivity. There isn’t any nose weight in this A10; instead various factors were optimized in concert so you won’t need lots of up elevator to fly level, and varying power suddenly won’t cause the nose to pitch up or down.

As a semiscale model, the Freewing 80mm A10 is finished from the factory in USAF two tone gray. A waterslide decal set with over 50 utility markings and three complete A10 liveries, is included for the pilot to customize his or her A10. These decals proudly represent:
