  • Flightline ov10 help

    Picked up a flightline ov10 bronco yesterday. Beautiful kit. The manual on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired. I've got it built and hooked up, but only rudders, lights and landing gear work. No throttle. How do I arm/initialize the throttles/escs?

    Dear Matlow, there is a very good discussion on the OV-10 in this forum, just for the OV-10 - its called the "Official FlightLine OV-10 Bronco Discussion Thread". You should look there.

    Others have had some difficulty with the wiring, a few important details were not explained in the manual. So this is an issue we've had many comments on.
    Another helpful member posted this picture below, this is post #652 on the other thread. This should be exactly what you need, check it out!

    The flap connection is something that isn't self-evident as well. And, the elevator cable plugs directly to the receiver instead of to the blue box.
    Note: the "UBEC" wire plugs into any unused channel on your receiver, this is only supplying power. (don't plug the UBEC into the throttle channel)

      I have a friend experiencing a similar issue and I'm not physically there to help him.
      Thanks for posting the link and the diagram. I'll be sure he checks this out!
