Official Nexa OV-10 Bronco 1800mm ARF Discussion Thread

[Sej]

I am having a problem with my retracts. I can only get one to work. Retracts work individually Any ideas

3 nice flights on my OV-10 this past week end. Seems every time I fly this bird I like it more and more. At some point I "think" increasing the flap throws will be my next update for this bird. When I have the field with no gassers running this twin has a very pleasing dissonance with the two blade props. Mine are set up counter rotating inward to canopy. 7min flights with spirited throttle via (2) 5s 35c 5200mAh LiPo Parallel; 15x7 PJN XOAR Props, E-Flite Power 52 590Kv

Looking for the right hand fuselage ( NXA1000-100 ) and horizontal stabilizer (NXA1000-105 ) . Broken but repairable okay . Thank you . Mike

What three blade prop can you put on this OV10 instead of the two blade prop ?

Depends on your motor. The guys here are using different ones. I'm still using 2 blade.

What other motors can I use other than Admiral for this OV-10 1800MM I'm building?

I used Eflight power 46's on 4S.

The rear wheels on my ov 10 are rubber the landing gear they slightly larger than 75mm so installed my 75mm jp E brake wheels they fit perfectly

That was the reason 3 to 5 years ago and that is why so much cheap ply was added to so many ARFs
windmills have now switched to Carbon Fiber blades.
The RC industry was not even a burp on the demand scale for Balsa.

It's still in demand for blades. Every supplier I've spoken with cites the same reason. So if the demand exceeds the supply prices will go up regardless of who's using it and why..........................

Ya so much rebranding it’s humorous and so old school !
The only thing that seems certain is the major cost increases.
I know this forum is dedicated to many of the motion Rc products and they are very good at marketing and customer service , however it certainly comes with a price tag.
I expect higher cost with the current and future devaluation of our pay for everything Govt strategy as the US dollar declines in value.

Balsa cost has tripled due to demand by the wind turbine blade manufactures. That's where the kit price increases came from. It's crazy.

Ones a foam ARF ( pro fly ) and one is a wood ARF much larger scale not even in the same class. One is ready to fly with all parts just assemble and the Nexa is an more complex model with after market power, servos, retracts, esc and other parts needed to complete

The foam one is Flightline. When the balsa and ply one was first released it was under the name Pro-Fly now it's under the the name Nexa. I don't believe there's a difference between the two ( short of the name).

Just bought a Nexa OV-10 Bronco from Motion RC. So what, if anything, is the difference between the Nexa Bronco and the Profly Bronco? At this point I can't
really see any difference.

Didier,

Good choice of reasonably priced motors, that can take a lot of different props, and still perform within it's constraints. I use the same motor on a number of planes, including Phoenix models 57" Mustang, and up to the 4 blade prop used on the Spit... Good combination...... Bronco Mike

Just ordered my OV-10 1.8m on Friday and I just got a text saying it was being delivered today. WooHoo!! and I'm 1,000 miles away working. My wife is used to carrying large boxes out to the hanger.

Hi Mike,

I used the motor from the flightline 1600mm spitfire, same ESC's you have from a FW A 10, ramoser varioprop prop's, 2 SLS 6s 5000mah lipo's... I also have electron retracts with JP modified oleo's, so the extra weight just might be a combination of it all ... still fly's great !!

[walkerm45]

Didier,

What are you using for power, Motor, Esc, and Battery, if you don't mind sharing info? Mine is 20 lbs, with Rimfire 60's, 100 amp esc with caps, from the Freewing A-10, and 2 HRB 6000 mah at 50c... I have not flown mine as of this date, a little gun shy......... Bronco Mike

[didier n]

What has the all up weight been running, for most planes?

Mine is 9kg, seems like a lot, but it performs great...
