Looking for radio controlled A5
Looking to purchase radio controlled A5. The manufacturers I’ve seen online have discontinued the A5. Not sure why. If anyone has one for sale, or knows where to get one, I’d appreciate the feedback. Thanks.

I have flown R/C airplanes since I was 10 years old. I must have 10 of them still in one piece, and countless others that were discarded in many pieces. Anyway, I bought the Icon A5 R/C plane maybe 4 or 5 years ago. It was a piece of junk. Very small, horrible flight characteristics, super flimsy, under powered, etc. I flew it maybe twice.

I’ve only seen parts for the ICON. There is a great model of a Seawind from Tower Hobbies which is close. I’ve enjoyed flying it though you have to remember if you go full power on a go-around, it’s going to pitch down (like the real plane).

I was actually wanting it for a static model. Not like the tiny ones Icon store has. I’d probably crash a radio controlled one anyway.

I have an A5 from FactoryDirectModels with my tail number on it. Looks great. It was around $400.

There was a large model R/C airplane and a smaller one. The Large one flew like $hit. The smaller one was much better but only an electric park flier in very low wind conditions.

I think the first one was made by Parkzone. The newer version was made by Eflite. Both discontinued. I hope that neither is an indication of Icon’s future.

There is a Chinese Knock off of the full scale A5 in general. Made by a Chinese RC aircraft company Oxai that got into the Full scale LSA world The funny part is current ICON majority shareholders (62% owners) are Chinese and 50% of those companies are owned by PRC. So they knocked off their own stuff. Haha.
