I had one electric, they fly very nice. Made the front windshield removable with batteries just under it, balanced with no weight using 2 5000mah 5S Lightmax batteries. Your color scheme looks much better than the stock one I had. It had no real bad habits but will tip stall pretty hard if pushed. The buddy I sold it too did a couple of full stall touch and goes and it snapped it. He was kinda asking for it, it flew beautiful for me.

Hey Randy glad to see you ended up with my old Oscar Deuce, Good flying bird. You'll need to pick up a couple of 70 to 80 amp ESCs and fly it on 8s 5000s if the motors I was flying with are still in there then all you will need to do is just slide them into the drop down tray on the bottom and you'll be good to go.That was a good idea to adress the tail booms. You need to check the balance and do not go by the factory specs because I shortened the nose by 1in. to improve the look, it was designed to have a .91 4 stroke in the nose and tail..I got some cool pics last month in Dallas at the FAC Museum, they have 3 OV-10s and a couple of O-2s, Let me know if you have any other questions. Oh by the way it was supposed to Don't Shoot The FAC Take care...Don

Again looking good with the fresh paint and graphics, and yeah Callie is the only way to go when you need to dress up your bird, in looking at the last set of pics you need to switch the props, you've got the back prop on the front and the front on the back, the front motor turns clockwise and the aft tures counter clockwise , I can't count the times I reversed them, ( hey why no thrust )? Anyway really got it dressed up and looking good....Don

Ron if you have ever heard a full scale 337 they have a odd sound for a twin in that they don't sync like most twins do and the model is the same way. Randy has done a great job refreshing my old Ocsar Deuce. It always looked pretty cool with having both the Deuce and my OV-10 Bronco sitting on the line together, it's a FAC thing....Don

Randy I would sit and think about doing a FG Pod, there are a lot of forces going on in that center section of the pod. The nose gear is way out there and you have to take into consideration the side forces. Then the wing saddle, I could go on and on. Give me a call when you get in from ah pump'n that crude. ...Don
