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.

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”.
