OV-10A Bronco from FlightLine RC & Motion RCOV-10 Bronco 1400mm (55") Wingspan from FlightLine - PNP The OV-10 Bronco is an American twin-turboprop light attack and observation aircraft that was developed in the 1960s. Purpose-built for Forward Air Control and intended to fly off unimproved short fields with its high lift narrow wingspan wings, the Bronco excelled in observation, target marking, ground attack, and troop deployment roles. In recent times, Broncos continue service as firefighting aircraft and flying specialized evaluation missions against ISIS, and in 2020 is set to serve as a US Air Force JTAC training aircraft. FlightLine by Motion RC delivers the historic OV-10 Bronco as an easy-to-transport, easy-to-fly, and easy-to-land RC model with pre-upgraded lights and metal suspension landing gear at a superb pricepoint. Presented in 1/8.5 scale and standing taller than other FlightLine twins like the 1/10 scale 1600mm P-38, the OV-10's twin boom and high elevator configuration displaces more volume during transport, so we designed the outer wing panels to unscrew for convenient transport standing on the model's retractable landing gear. DayBright LEDs, a large cockpit, tasteful detailing, and removable ordnance underscore a model that looks as great as it performs, while still being Beginner-Friendly and geared toward Every Day fliers. Visit the Official FlightLine 1400mm OV-10 Bronco Discussion Thread on HobbySquawk.com for additional photos, videos, reviews, and customer Q&A. Link coming soon. https://www.hobbysquawk.com/forum/rc...er-is-open-now ORDER HERE Features: Armed to the Teeth - Four plastic machine guns, four removable rocket pods, and a magnetic centerline tank comprise the Bronco's menacing ordnance package. Large Battery Bay - The battery bay in the Bronco has ample space for your batteries and peripheral equipment including a gyro or gyroceiver. Achieve 5-8 minutes of flight time with two economical 4s batteries. Four-Panel Flaps - Wide four panel flaps enhance the FlightLine Bronco's STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) capability. Ideal for new warbird pilots looking for their first Big Twin, the Bronco assembles with only screws and is backed by a full line of easy-to-replace spare parts. FPV-Friendly Cockpit - As an observer platform, the OV-10 is especially suited to visibility. Remove the two included pilots and install your own FPV camera equipment for the ultimate scale warbird FPV experience! Grass Ready - Designed for practical every-day RC use, tall pre-upgraded aluminum suspension struts and adequate ground clearance give the FlightLine Bronco the best off-road capabilities of any FlightLine aircraft. The large nose wheel and trailing-link main struts are especially suited for operating off of the toughest RC airfields, intended to fully compress without damaging the fuselage or props. Due to practical size constraints, the largest main wheel is used that can still fit in the reinforced foam boom without hydraulic compression assistance. LED Lighting - The onboard MFCB powers five pre-installed LED lights, with ports for additional LEDs added by you. The model features two red/green wingtip static LEDs, one white dorsal LED, a flashing red ventral LED (shown), and one white landing LED in the nose that illuminates whenever the landing gear is extended. Magnetic Centerline Tank - Flying with or without the removable ordnance, from any angle the FlightLine OV-10 Bronco has style in spades! Efficient Power System - Our proven three blade 4s brushless outrunner power system provides power for all scale maneuvers including loops and rolls for 5-8 minutes based on throttle usage and flight conditions. Molded plastic parts throughout the model resist dents and dings during transport. 85% scale size props prevent tip damage during hard landings even when the landing gear is fully compressed. Removable Ordnance - Remove the ordnance in seconds for easier storage or transport, or for clearing higher grass RC airfields. At 1/8.5 scale, the foam FlightLine OV-10 PNP is an excellent size for additional customization and everyday transport, as an alternative to the larger 1/6.5 scale balsa wood OV-10 ARF from Black Horse Models also available here at Motion RC. Both are excellent! Short Takeoff - The FlightLine Bronco excels at short-field takeoffs, and is capable of steep angle landings with flaps down and power on. Generous rudder authority helps train new pilots to fly with rudder to keep the Bronco tracking on target throughout its very wide flight envelope! Easy To Transport - The OV-10's outer wings are easily removable for convenient transporting to and from the flying field. This design allows the aircraft to stand on its three landing gear without its outer wings. Easy To Land - The Bronco's four flap configuration and tricycle landing gear makes for an easy to land platform. A high mounted elevator provides excellent control authority in all conditions.

The OV-10 has a lot more features that the other similar FL birds don't. So when you want to meet a price point, some things have to get cut. We could have included them, but then it took the aircraft to price point we didn't think worked for this aircraft. It's all a game of give and take

On the flip side of that, look at the trailing link gear you get as standard equipment on the OV-10 instead of a $40 upgrade! Like James said, all a give and take!

That's cool!
I wish someone would come out with a big one that's built up though. |

Very nice, I give it a lot of thought but I have the Tigercat which I don’t fly that often because of the Corsairs, therefore I will pass. Actually I have decided not to buy another model unless it is an FW 190. Sorry Motion have my heart set for one for years, maybe before I die.

We weren't able to get doors into the final PNP's feature set because the Bronco's boom walls are so thin at this scale that reliable door hinges required a large plastic box to reinforce the entire area, which, for all three U/C, amounted to a 7% increase in weight, 20‰ increase in stall speed, and ~12% increase in price. We opted to spend the lower weight/cost for the practical advantages of pre-installed suspension struts instead, reasoning that most beginners, to whom this model is primarily engineered in response to frequent requests for a good "first twin", would benefit from more than the neat aesthetic factor of doors. We also trended to dig in the nose door during landing in tall grass fields during our early prototype testing. |
