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!
Already own a Spektrum transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!
This is the first OV-10 Bronco model equipped with exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch to make this an easier to fly OV-10. SAFE Select also features an automatic Hand Launch Assist mode that senses the force of a hand launch and adds up elevator so the airplane climbs at a higher angle for a few seconds to make it easier to launch.
The Micro OV-10 Bronco is equipped with a control unit including a receiver and ESCs that provide a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data including overall battery voltage, current draw, and more – when using Smart and non-Smart batteries – to compatible Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, the iX12 to 20, and others) while you fly.
The factory-installed twin brushless power system features powerful 3S-compatible outrunner motors equipped with counter-rotating props. This power system setup delivers great speed and vertical performance, plus flight times, when using the recommended 600–850mAh 30+C LiPo batteries with an IC2 connector.
You can use the included fixed landing gear – with a steerable nose wheel – 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 launches over and landings on grass.
The EPS airframe features more molded-in and other scale details than smaller UMX/ultra-micro class models, along with plastic-reinforced nacelle and sponson bottoms plus composite reinforcements in the nose, booms, and throughout to make it strong and stiff yet also lightweight. The result is an outstanding scale appearance that's easy to maintain and delivers the best possible flying experience.
The Micro OV-10 Bronco arrives 100% factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box! It's equipped with industry-leading Spektrum 2.4GHz technology that binds to your 5+ channel DSMX/DSM2 equipped transmitter so you can be flying within minutes of opening the box.
The factory-applied and fully-painted with decal finish not only looks great but also replicates a unique Philippine Air Force (PAF) trim scheme. Plus, the factory-installed LED navigation lights add to the scale experience while improving visibility and orientation in low-light conditions.
