Introduction

New release: FMS A-10 Thunderbolt II “Warthog”V2 In 2017, FMS announced its flagship aircraft- the A-10 Thunderbolt II. Known 

for its impeccable scale features and awesome performance, the “Warthog”is truly a favorite amongst pilots and spectators alike.

To make the best even better, FMS has dedicated significant engineering effort in building upon the first generation A-10, making 

evolutionary design and performance improvements to create the A-10 V2.Retaining features such as the screw-together airframe, 

ball-linked control surfaces and high strength spar system, the A-10 V2 comes together just as easily its predecessor. Scale details 

remain impeccable- realistic rivets, panel lines, removable bombs and rockets and realistic absorbing CNC landing gear, just to 

name a few.Built upon these great features, the A-10 V2 receives ten major structural, electronic and scale improvements:

1.Improved ESC: The dual 70A ESCs are uprated to dual Hobbywing 80A ESCs, with an external 8A BEC for bulletproof 

performance.

2.Upgraded servos: Elevator and Rudder servos have been upgraded to 23g metal geared servos from the original 17g metal 

geared units- meaning more torque for the control surfaces giving even better performance.

3.Precision landing gear design: The nose landing gear has been redesigned to minimize play- ensuring the assembly tracks 

straight and true even at high speeds.

4.Improved connectors: ‘soft’ connector design significantly increases the reliability of the wing quick release system.

Wingspan: 1500mm(59.1in) 

Overall length: 1368mm(53.9in) 

Flying weight: ~ 4100g

Motor size: 2860-KV1850

Wing load: 113.2g/dm²(0.26oz/in²)

Wing area: 36.2dm²(561sq.in)

ESC: 80A ESC X 2 with 8A BEC

Servo:  13g metal x 5            23g metal x 4

Recommended battery: 22.2V 5000mAh 45C

5.Increased elevator travel: giving pilots more precision and control authority

.

 

6.Improved tires: an improved, more durable compound extends 

the service life of the landing gear wheels, even in rough field 

operations.

7.Robust canopy latch: extended pin on the canopy latch reduces  the possibility of an accidental canopy release in flight.

8.Enlarged battery bay: now fits two 6S 3300mAh Lipos, for significantly increased flight times!

9.New trim scheme: even more attractive trim than the original!

10.New scale pilot

.

Features:

• Dual 70mm inrunner 12 bladed EDFs and Hobbywing 80A   ESCs provide ample thrust.

• Highly realistic scale features: Rivets, panel lines, CNC shock   absorbing landing gears, removable bombs and rocket pods, 

  scale pilot figure etc.

• Ultra bright LED light system.

• Electronic retracts with over current protection.

• Large diameter bearings in the landing gear allow the A-10 V2 to roll smoothly over rough terrain.

• Preinstalled ball-linked control horns for accurate and precise movements.

Feel the FMS difference! No detail was overlooked in creating the A-10 V2! Feel the power and turn every head at the flying field 

with your very own “Warthog”.
