Why not both

I have the E-flite A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 64mm EDF. It's huge, probably about the same size as this A-10. It takes a 6 cell pack and has a t8n of power. It can go full vertical and climb infinitely. It also has full control surfaces, flaps, navigation lights and retractable landing gear. It's absolutely gorgeous and it's painted with its standard grey camo look. Oh, it also comes bind and fly with a Spektrum receiver with AS3X and SAFE Select.

The photos you showed with the snow camo,those are all done in the field. Free hand and usually with hard water based paints. Meant to be temporary, so a little fuzziness and imperfections is actually more realistic. Cool touch.

*Meanwhile in 60 degree weather Texas* I wonder what snow looks like.

I like this kit, I always by kit form for all my RC. Gives you a better understanding of build .

This is the coolest plane ever built with that camo. I must do one as well.

I see those two Corsairs. I’ll probably spend the rest of the weekend thinking of what you will do with them.

Love your channel! You guys rock. You all seem so genuine with genuine stoke everytime you fly.

Great job Alex. I had always heard that you couldn't paint when it' cold out. I never thought thru that if the plane is warm and the paint is warm, good to go. Thank you Alex!

It looks absolutely gorgeous! Six months ago I would have never expected a FT A-10 to come out at all, let alone for it to have first appeared with a mounted airsoft gun doing strafing runs on a foam tank (that itself would later fly). The development, testing, and release turnaround on this model was blazing fast. Now when will you release the flying tank model? :P

im thinking about doing a desert camo for my A-10

Awesome fun watching the flight.

Very Very Cool!! That A-10 with that quick'n'dirty paint job looks awesome!

Well damn, I don’t have time to make and fly planes any more, but a few years back it was my favorite thing to do. My favorite plane has always been the A-10 and it looks like I might be getting back into the hobby because of this, just need to figure out how to make time. Thank you guys for yet another great video and hopefully I can build and modify your model of the A-10 sometime in the future.

Just awesome, keep that cool content coming Flitetest!

Wow! Great job guys.

My first speed build kit I bought from you guys was a white foam F-22. Never painted it (or flew it) because I decided to take it to AirVenture 2015 and had a bunch of pilots and new friends sign it. But my next kit is definitely getting painted after seeing how great your A-10 turned out! Great job!

I just thought of this but you should do the Winnebago from spaceballs

Fun fact: The a-10 warthog actually could tear though most armoured vehicle like butter and it shoot 70 rounds per sec and it only can vary 1000 rounds cuz of how heavy it would be

A tip regarding waterproofing, Artist Fixative is amazing at waterproofing planes. Built an FT Explorer in an IKEA carton since FT foam is very lucky to be found in Europe, saying nearly any FT planes can be found. Unfortunatly IKEA multi-ply carton is some 50% heavier, but with fixative, I didn't even get a miscolorization of the carton when a wing ended up in a ditch for 10 min. After drying for one day, the wing was as new.

The camouflage is so good that if you crash it you won’t find it! 😂
