This is my second A-10 Warthog RC model, and the first one that I've completed a build video, plans, and decals for. For this build, I used 6mm Depron foam or foamboard or polyfoam. While my first A-10 used a pusher prop motor, I wanted to try using EDFs this time around. However, I've had some bad experiences with EDFs in the past, so I went with 6S that already has a powerful thrust of about 2.5 kg on each unit. But, this came with a higher price tag and more weight. In fact, this is the heaviest model I've ever built, weighing in at 3.6 kg. I also added retractable landing gear and a smoke effect for its gun.
