  • We had Air Attack 410 in town last Thursday working a fire. They refueled and took their break at Camarillo Airport, where I was able to take a quick photo. I watched him return to base in Porterville that evening on Flightradar24. Cruise was 230 kts. During the day they worked the fire at 138 kts in a right orbit at 5500 feet. (Not a rocketship). Got me in a Bronco mood. Mine shipped today and is due Monday.

        • Veltro, very cool. This is a very interesting plane. I wouldn't call it sleek and sexy, like the F4F or P-38, nor does it have the classical lines of WWII birds like the P-51 and P-47 but it is a great-looking plane in its own right..

          • Couldn't pass up an OV-10.......Happy Fathers day to me, maybe.

            I still need to pull the trigger, given it some thought...........

              I would like to eventually put the scimitar props from an Eflite EC-1500. I'll up the ESC size but I'll try the stock motors, hoping I don't burn them up.

                  • Any chance you can put a Dewalt or Makita box around it? A new tool doesn't even get a second glance, but if it says flightline or rc anything, there will be questions..🙊

                                  Yup. I ordered mine after some people had already flown theirs. Not sold out yet.

                                  • At least two in my group have theirs delivered. Mine was showing today but changed to tomorrow.. It's okay as I'm doing a repaint and rewire, maybe a power change too. Rewire is to have crow and differential motor control. Also will have P&T camera system.

                                          Notice I left those pictures out of my posts. I still very much enjoy cracking the lid and pulling piece by piece out and geeking out over it but I tried to concentrate on reporting how she flies. Speaking of which last Sunday I was able to fly the Bronco in purely an observation role with 2X Freewing T-33's equipped with DJI HD FPV setups. We planned the flight out on the ground and with my RunCam facing backwards and towards the left wing I flew LOS in a large racetrack oval pattern. The FPV T-33's would seek me out and try and form up on my wing staying as close at they could. Surprisingly they asked me to slow down some so they could form up a little easier. From my LOS view it looked like we were going to have a 3-way mid-air collision several times so I had to fully trust they could see and avoid me. What was neat was with 8+min flight times I could take off, get comfortably into my pattern, play with the T-33's, allow them to land safely, and still had time to play before I needed to land. All three of us were constantly chatting with one another on the flight line which was key to avoiding collisions. It was some very different RC flying, a bit nerve racking, but also really fun! The Bronco is a versatile platform and that giant canopy is itching to be FPV equipped.
