E-flite Micro OV-10 Bronco 645mm BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select Overview
Initially conceived in the 1960s for counter-insurgency (COIN) combat, the North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco was designed to be a versatile military aircraft that saw action as a light attack and observational platform. During the final years of the Vietnam War and in Operation Desert Storm, the Bronco excelled at anti-guerrilla operations, in air support, plus utility missions, and many are still in service today. The E-flite® Micro OV-10 is a replica of the unique twin aircraft that's scaled to be affordable and practical for more RC pilots to own and fly! It's compatible with popular 3S 600–850mAh batteries and is equipped with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® plus optional-use SAFE® Select technologies to make it the easiest to fly OV-10 model yet. Optional-use fixed landing gear with a steerable nose wheel makes it easy to taxi, take off from, and land on smooth surfaces, or you can leave the landing gear off for more speed and performance when flying over grass. Best of all, it arrives fully factory-finished and ready to fly right out of the box to offer an authentic Bronco flying experience you can't get anywhere else!
The OV-10 Bronco is one of the most unique and recognizable twin-turboprop military aircraft of all time. Larger OV-10 models, including the popular Hangar 9 20cc and 30cc versions, may be out of reach for many RC pilots – but the E-flite® Micro OV-10 Bronco is sized to be affordable and practical for most! It arrives fully assembled and ready to fly right out of the box, including a factory-installed control unit featuring a Spektrum receiver equipped with exclusive AS3X® plus optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. It's ready to bind to your 5+ channel DSMX®/DSM2® equipped transmitter, plus you'll receive real-time telemetry data including overall battery voltage, current, and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – when using compatible Spektrum radios featuring AirWare software. The twin brushless outrunner motors, paired with counter-rotating propellers, are compatible with 3S 600–850mAh batteries, delivering an excellent blend of performance and flight time. The fully-molded EPS airframe features more molded-in and other scale details than most smaller UMX/ultra-micro class models, including optional-use guns, missiles, a drop tank, and a pitot tube. It's also equipped with plastic-reinforced nacelle and sponson bottoms plus composite reinforcements in the nose, booms, and throughout to make it strong and stiff while also keeping it lightweight. The expertly-engineered design makes it easy to fly in scale-like or sport fashion, and to perform aerobatics including loops, rolls, and inverted flight. The fixed landing gear plus a steerable nose wheel make it possible to taxi, take off from, and land on smooth surfaces. Or fly without the landing gear installed for more speed and vertical performance while utilizing the automatic Hand Launch Assist Mode for easy hand launching over and landings on grass.
