Hello Everyone,

I am new on this hobby and I made a big mistake buying this great replica A-10 but with no power what so ever. I need help from an technical expert who can get this plane to fly as advertised.  I need Brushless motors and ESC so I can give this bird the power that deserves. Does any one have any idea?

Overall Length: 968mm (38")

Drive System: Twin 370 ducted fan motors with 2 Guan Li P47 MotorsServo: 3X 10g high speed micro servos
ESC: 25A speed controller
Battery: 9.6 V 650mah Ni-MH

	Unfortunately Guanli planes look Ok but their power systems are usually no good. What size fans are they. 64mm or 55 mm? Just measure the inside diameter to check. You also have to check what size battery you can fit in the battery tray as any decent EDF system needs good battery as well. With this info we can help you
