The Bronco comes with 30A OPTO ESC's with a 5A UBEC wired to the starboard motor XT60 battery connector. There is no need for pulling wires on the OPTO'sWarbird Charlie

Just a thought here I've ordered the Bronco and after reading Alpha explaining the economic issues regarding supplying base colour airframes I totally get the argument why they don't supply them but I was thinking would it not be a good idea to offer them decal free for the guys that wish to customize themselves. Surely that would be the next best thing and I cant see how that would not be economical to do. I'm only asking as I plan to do my Bronco out in Luftwaffe livery and would mean I don't have to paint the model to paint over the factory applied decals. By all means supply the decal sheet in the kit only just not applied to the model What do you guys think and more importantly what do you think Alpha??

Styk Yours is a fair question that pops up fairly often. Historically, despite occasional requests by some users, only one model's decal-less PNP version has come close to breaking even. So far the data show that the majority of our customer family, as it is currently composed, prefers aircraft that are as fully painted and decaled as possible out of the box. There are very rare exceptions, but they are undoubtedly the exception. In fact, Freewing is one of the only, if not the only, major foam electric manufacturer that offers any of its premiere scale models without decals pre-applied. Once a year we'll add a base color version to appeal to the crowd that continues to ask for them, but unfortunately it does not consistently pan out, least not to the extent that justifies the changes in the mass production line's complexity as shown in our behind the scenes videos.
Until that changes, the best bet for us individual modelers who want a different color scheme other than what is mass produced is to take out that spray can or airbrush and get busy!Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

I think its amazing that you can ask the management about things like this, and they answer!! Alpha and Aros are pilots and they care about their models, and they are willing to explain their decision making process. This is one of the reasons why I like dealing with this company so much - and I really appreciate the care and thought behind the models. Nothing's perfect, you can always find something you don't like (for me, I don't understand why the foam ordinance package for the A10 is almost $100) but overall I just really like this company and the products. And I can't wait for the Bronco.Marc flies FW & FL: AL37, MiG-29, T45,F4, A4, A10, F104 70 and 90, P38, Dauntless SBD, Corsair, B17, B24, B26 & P61, Lipp.P19, ME262, Komets, Vampire, SeaVixen, FMS Tigercat, FOX Glider & Radian XL.

Hi Guys Needing a bit of help here. Can anyone please post a diagram of the wiring setup for using on the Bronco to eliminate the risk of losing a motor in flight. My technical experience is very limited and apologise in advance. If anyone can help me understand what I need to do with maybe a foolproof diagram that I can follow I would appreciate it a lot Thanks

Last page back has Charlie's parallel ESC wiring which will be as "foolproof" as you can get. I had a twin 90mm A10,(WowPlanes), that i did the same thing on but after flying thr FW A10 and seeing other twin planes with independent wired ESC's Im still flying split ESC's on the FW A10 but will use the parallel wiring on both my OV10 Bronco's

Here is a pic of the one I made. Notice that the positive from #1 battery on one side is connector to the positive for the connector to the #2 speed control for the other. The same is true for the negative on the #2 battery is connected to the #1 speed control. You can loose one voltage in one battery resulting in lower voltage to both engines evenly. I tested this and it works great.
FYI, this is not needed for the A-10 because of the location of the engines being so close to the centerline of the A/C. I actually lost power to one engine on the A-10 and noticed only a reduction in performance. I came and landed without issue and noticed that one engine was no longer turning. The A-10 is awesome.
I hope this helps.1 Photo
