I got couple of videos this evening, the camera is mounted on one of the weapons pod (its a runcam). There's nothing really remarkable about the video, just two flights around the field just before dark, with some loops, rolls, low passes, etc.
The video is uploading this evening and should be ready by Monday morning. Sorry for the delay!

You kind of want everything... :)
The motors work well. They may be a little too hot of a set up, see my prop suggestion below. I got the 900kV since they were about right and the only ones in stock. I have one of these in 790kV and may get a second one and smaller props and then go 6S using one 6200mAh battery- https://www.rcjuice.com/motor-esc/br...ner-motor.html
The ESCs were out of a Tigercat, nice that they come with long battery leads that are more than long enough for the Bronco. You'll have to change the bullet connectors for the motors- https://www.motionrc.com/products/fr...less-esc-xt-60
I picked APCe 11x8 propellers in normal and pusher. I think 11x7 would be a better overall pick, but I used these- https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXASTW
Tower Hobbies carries an expansive collection of RC cars, RC airplanes, RC boats, model trains, sot cars, and supplies for all hobbyists.
Spinners. You have to carve the opening on the pusher one.- https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBMY2
Let us know what you end up doing.

OV10 Bronco Crashes.
tonight I had a Second crash with My New OV10. Radio range test was Perfect and CG was on the money. I had a similar situation last week that I initially thought was "Dumb Thumbs" on My part. That crash cost me a new main wing, center pod, nose and left gears and retract. 2 props and a canopy. Tonights is a Total loss. Radio is a Spectrum DX8G2 and an AR637T reciever. As3x and safe were Off. Batteries used were Spectrum 4 cell 5000 MAH hard side Smart packe (2). Any ideas would be a Big help. I am sending the TX in to have it tested.
Alpha I attempted to send this to You off this page but You have too many messages.
