E-flite Micro OV-10 Bronco 645mm BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select
One of the most iconic and recognizable twin-turboprop military aircraft ever built, the North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco finally gets the affordable, practical micro-scale RC treatment it deserves. The E-flite Micro OV-10 Bronco delivers an authentic Bronco flying experience in a 645mm wingspan package that's compatible with popular 3S 600–850mAh batteries and ready to fly straight out of the box — no assembly required. Originally conceived for counter-insurgency combat in the 1960s and proven across Vietnam and Operation Desert Storm, the OV-10's distinctive twin-boom, twin-turboprop silhouette is faithfully replicated in a fully-molded EPS airframe packed with more scale detail than typical UMX class models. Optional-use guns, missiles, a drop tank, and a pitot tube add authentic military character, while the factory-applied Philippine Air Force trim scheme and functional LED navigation lights complete the scale presentation from every angle.
Twin brushless outrunner motors with counter-rotating props deliver excellent speed, vertical performance, and flight times on 3S power, and the factory-installed Spektrum control unit with integrated receiver and dual brushless ESCs provides real-time telemetry data — battery voltage, current draw, and more — to compatible Spektrum AirWare-equipped transmitters. Exclusive AS3X technology works continuously behind the scenes to smooth out wind and turbulence for a locked-in, larger-airplane feel, while optional-use SAFE Select adds pitch and bank angle limits and automatic self-leveling at the flip of a switch for a more forgiving flying experience. SAFE Select also features automatic Hand Launch Assist Mode — sensing the force of a hand launch and adding up elevator for a climbing launch angle over grass or suitable surfaces when flying without the gear installed. Fixed landing gear with a steerable nose wheel is included for smooth surface taxi, takeoff, and landing operations. Plastic-reinforced nacelle and sponson bottoms plus composite reinforcements in the nose, booms, and throughout make the airframe strong and stiff while keeping weight impressively low at just 9.7oz without battery.
