We have seen a bunch of edfs released such as F4, F22, L39, FA18 and now F35. I love all of them, well maybe not the f35 but why not have a cool prop warbird debut? I mean not another Corsair or P51 or Bearcat but a OV10 Bronco. Something different and cool that no other company has. I’m tired of these 3-4 min flights and always seem to go back to my p51 or p38 to break up those short flights with edfs. It’s a great time to be in this hobby but I feel the market is saturated with edfs and Mustangs, corsairs, bearcats etc. Need something refreshing.

Enough with EDFs, where’s the Bronco?

Joe Nall don’t represent all of us fliers. It’s only a small portion that can make it there. A lot of fliers don’t attend those meets and while I agree the market is on a edf kick, I believe many would buy something different if it was offered. Maybe a nice 1600mm ov10 with a space in fuse for sound system, easy on/off wing tips.

:) I was expecting a foamy from FL but a woody is excellent in my books too :Cool:LOL. Now the pressure is on to get the garage/hangar finished ;)
I like the fact that it has spare parts like the foam line of airframes haveWarbird Charlie

Too pricey with no gear doors. Pass. Not a balsa fan anymore. Spent years building them and dont Feel like ripping off covering to glue stuff back together. I’ll stivk with my FLp38 for now. Cheaper to fix or replace parts. I understand Motion wants to expand but it’s almost like they are turning into another tower hobbies. The last price increase was bad but now with these high price balsa models it’s not making me want to buy anything anymore.

It might be pricey compared to the usual 1600mm and under models but this is a larger 1800mm which typically cost $500+ in foam anyways. The old E-flight T-28 Carbon Z was a 1900mm that cost $569.

I really have no control, and should seek professional psychiatric help, and pressed the buy button without really thinking how much $$$$ this Project would consume.
:wacky
I can’t imagine their are Warbird pilots that can watch a well flown Bronco and not buy this offering. It’s a must have. :ov10

I was close to buying one a few weeks back but decided I did not like the fact that this Bronco has no gear doors, retracts need to be sourced along with servos. I work 50-60 hours a week and really have no time to build anymore. The foamies we can buy come ready to fly. I like that since time is limited in my book. Still wishing for a nice foamie Bronco.
