Have you calibrated your esc's?

Hi, new to this site and new to PNP vs BNF planes. I just recently purchased the OV-10 Bronco and having problems initializing the twin props. For some reason the throttle doesn't want to work all the surface controls and the retracts are working fine. I'm using the Spektrum AR630 and binds well but the throttle doesn't turn. I've watched all of the videos on how to assemble it but I can't figure it out why it's not working. If anyone can help please reply to this post. Thank you

Belongs in the classifieds...

I last flew RC's back in 1977 and it was a high wing trainer. My wonderful wife got me the Flightline OV-10 for Christmas. As an enlisted forward air controller in Korea (1980 to 1981), I worked with this airplane many times and always admired it. I was lucky enough to get two back seat rides in it. I love this model. My instructor has me doing pretty well with it. Six flight so far and am starting to feel pretty comfortable with it.

I'm sure enjoying my OV-10. Pretty cool on being able to get a back seat ride on one.

Does anyone know where to get a good scaled set of plans for an 80 in or 92 in span OV-10 Bronco? I have seen a few but $180.00? Power will be a pair of 90 electrics. Most appreciated in advanced.

Gains Smith from Fort Gibson, Oklahoma is a master scale builder and has plans or kit available. His is the best design and build I have seen. Great guy and extremely helpful. His build is available on RC Scale Builder.
Email: gsmith6879@gmail.com
PS: His Master Scale is a 96” wing span Bronco. It use 30-36 cc gas engines or equivalent.
He also has a semi scale 80” wing span Bronco available

I’d love a set!

[boomer108]

Very nice I'd buy a set!

[sam51401]

Im in for set!

Nice...….. Did you print that armament??
If so you could probably sell a bunch to hungry scale Squawkers

Yeah, I used Solidworks for the design and a Prusa to print them. Did a little airbrush on the rocket pods. More work than I anticipated...

Just finished some ordnance for the OV-10. Hellfires, LAU-68's, and Snakeyes. Now I have to wait 3 months to maiden it!

I would think it’s either the ESCs aren’t programmed the same or they need calibrated.

Ill try to reprogram them, but it worked the first flight, why would it fall out of sync for the second flight ?

ESC programming manual is on the motion site under the B-24.

Thanks Evan....
I flew today and had a great madien flight. I charged my battery and my left motor did not spin up on pre flight!! I noticed after my first flight one battery did not draw as much as the other. Has anyone else had a motor or esc go out after one flight ?
Thank

I have just set mine up and notice one motor the brake is set and the other doesn't. How can I sync them ? Thanks
