Flew my new OV10 for the first time and after about 4 minutes using (2) 4s 4000 mah batteries I lost power, possibly in one motor, and lost all control and crashed. I checked the battery condition in both batteries and found that there was still about 65% power remaining. Anybody else have similar problem?

Running everything stock.

More options for Weapon systems....... https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...cults3d-links) I used all these files on my A-10, along with his Detailed Cockpit upgrade, DirtyDee did great work! As you look thru the Systems listed for the OV-10 this gives you room to expand your Static view. Fun Fun
Finally got through the order process for Real Pilots in UK and ordered Tolga's two Huey Pilot.

So far its been the disco ball, windshield wiper and the APR-39 radar warning "warts". Ill
post some detail pics a little later.
Glad to see that the files are being used! So many have contributed to this hobby to make it better that I’m finally happy to be able to return the favor. Sorry I haven’t done anything for the back cockpit because I was focusing on making the FPV view as best I can. You can probably get away with printing the front side consoles for the back.
I have the same radio and receiver in my OV-10. PM me if you need any help with it. OpenTX is a challenge to learn but it’s incredibly powerful with what you can do with it once you get a handle on it.

Sam51401.... look at Vduniec's design work on pages 43/44. If you 3D print all his STL files are there to include the Chaff buckets and placements. I've used everything he made in the process of detailing my cockpit and plane. Have fun!

Agree Gilatrout... I got three different heads with each of the Pilots I bought/downloaded yesterday. Looks like the 1/12 scale is what is going to work best for the OV-10 cockpit.

Approaching finish time on mine. Been much longer than i wanted but its coming together and with most of the repaint done, im working to finalize the graphics and decals for the VMO-2 DS 91' version. Pretty much stock with a few minor additions and changes but with work and getting a house ready to list, its been a rough juggling act to try and finish this out. One thing im doing is using Frsky Horus or Taranis with a S8R stab receiver as a yaw damper.gyro.
Who else here is using Frsky on this Bronco? Could use some similar radio setup advice as its my first time programming OpenTX. My inspiration has been the Europe airshow ersion which is a none DS participant but does replicate the actual bird but i have found much less photos to work from as compared to the F-AZKM version. Has anyone found a good photo of the boom flare/chaff dispenser????

Tried to order on his site but delivery option was only UK. I searched for a week and found same quality Pilots but not the selection on CGTrader, I downloaded the STL files I liked and printing now, not cheap but they look to be worth it. I really wish Sean would offer STL download on his Pilots, that would open him up world wide. Thanks for the info anyway!

Finally got around to installing an A3 gyro in my Bronco to take care of tail wagging. I am not a gyro person and have very rarely used them, but on this plane it worked great, have it dialed in at about 25%. Another unexpected benefit of the gyro is that the rolls are much cleaner, I guess that makes sense. The A3 along with the 10x8 two blade APC props and really helped to make the Bronco fly like I wanted.
