Default GWS A-10 any first hand reviews out there???



Hello All

My local hobby shop, has a few of these on the shelves and I really am
interested in buying one. Does anyone out there who has purchased one or seen
one fly care to comment on it. I'm really interested in its flight
characteristics and of course its contruction (easy as the magazine reviews
make it seem ???)!!!

Thanks for any info forthcoming!!!!

Pick up an August 2003 issue of 'Model Airplane News' on the news
stands now. There's a good review in it on the GWS A-10.

Darrylbar:

I can give you a link for more A-10 reviews and general info than you can
handle. Take a look at RC Groups Electric Forum. There is a search button
on the opening page. Look for A-10 and you'll find more hits than a hunting
dog has fleas.

It s a wealth of material on all aspects of electrics.

Regards,
Lee Smith

Hello and Thanks!!!

The flight video I found off the site you mentioned just did it for me.
I am going to pick up the kit this week and the radio equipment the following.

Thanks for the info!!!

Glad to be able to help out.

That forum has been a real treasure trove of info for me, and has
transformed my enjoyment of electrics.

the one here at our field barely flies in the stock configuration.
The owner added an extra cell and got slightly better performance, but
on the first flight with the extra cell one of the motors burned out..

The foam wings looked pretty flexible to me...any serious performance
and I'd be worrying about them...

I've flown the GWS zero and mustang and the a10 pefornmance is not up
there with those two...

definately a need for better aftermarket power plants, wing
strengthening etc IMHO

cheers

The wingtips are VERY fragile. The hobbytown where I temporarily work
has gotten in 8 or 9 and all but 2 had the wingtips either cracked, or
completely broken off !!!

I'll give you 50% retail for all the damaged A-10 kits you have on hand,
and I'll pay the shipping charges.
