Hangar 9 OV-10 Bronco 30cc ARF at SEFF 2024 - Model AV8R Episode 143

[@jollyroger2226]

That was really special. What a treat to have that kind of visit with Ali and his plane !

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

It really was. Thanks for watching!

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Adam that was great flying. I’m glad you got to meet Ali. Great video Heidi. Jeff in LA USA

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

It was a fun day Jeff! Awesome seeing you there as well.

[@FarmerFpv]

OV-10 Broncos are such great flyers. It's the plank-style wing with a twin-boom tail that makes it such a pleasure to fly. I have a Seagull Models 76.8" Cessna O-2A Skymaster that is also a great flyer like the Bronco. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks! Yep, the Hershey Bar wing is very effective.

[@odwatchguy]

Great video and interview with Ali, and such a great plane for a subject. It has to feel good to have the transmitter turned over for a great flight experience. Nice job Heidi of making the plane look so good in the air. Thanks for sharing.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks man! It was a great experience for sure. Ali is a nice guy. Very approachable.

[@airhammer6203]

Thank you Ali.... Adam, well done good sir. That was beautiful to watch....

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Hammer!

[@Bellairvideo]

Wow…. What an interview… what an aircraft! Well presented & flown boys. The sound of those motors… woweeeee

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Noel! Can you imagine all the cameras you could haul on that!

[@PaulaLewis-r6g]

Awesome flight and pilot skills!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks, Ali is a master!

[@Retset]

What a model! You aced it with your turn on the sticks. A special moment and all the better to have it filmed

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks man! It flew so good. Actually very easy to fly.

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

Awesome plane Adam. ALI is such a kind gentleman and a great pilot. Glad y'all got to meet. Hope you and yours are doing well.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Hey Brad! Man it is, and he is! Really a treat. We're good, just busy. Lol. Hope all is well with you and yours too!

[@HciContractor]

What a beautiful airplane. Thank you for sharing Adam.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

It is! Thanks for watching!

[@IansRCExploits]

Wow you must have been stoked when Ali let you fly the Bronco!! And what a nice guy with it, that massive plane flies amazing!! Really enjoyed this episode Adam and Heidi 😀👍

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Ian! It was a pleasure.

[@davidsnyder238]

Well my friend, welcome to the club! I'm sure now you know why I love that big girl as much as I do and how I pulled off that carrier landing with it. She's a gentle giant but versatile and looks so incredible in the air. I'm glad you finally put your hands on one. Great job!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Yes sir David. I get it now. That Hershey Bar wing is effective. Amazing flying plane. Still though...takes a pair to land it where you do with no margin.

[@ironmover5800]

Wow , big ,beautiful, beast …Ali’s take off was short , for such a big plane , great flying

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks man. Yep, this one flies exceptionally well. Amazing how slow it will fly.

[@jcb6713]

Very awesome !

[@RubyS.1]

Tucano 🤧. Ali has that plane dialed. Watching maneuver that slow knowing its 44lbs makes it even more impressive.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Lol, subtle. It's coming very soon. Yep, that Bronco is amazing. Doesn't seem like it should fly that slow.

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

What a stunning aircraft! I'm pleased you not only got to meet Ali, but fly his 🏆winning plane as well. Now... how the hell are you going to sneak one of these into Model AV8R Headquarters??

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Gina! Lol...NO WAY I can make that happen...lol

[@SlowFlyer85]

Adam great interview and the plane is awesome do we see one in your hanger soon 😊😊😊😊

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Frank! Lol...not likely. No way I can store that!

[@sambuvca22]

Love this model.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Me too!

[@SteffenRC]

Love that OV-10.. So cool to see this. Thanks for sharing Adam.. Whats the giddy factor (1-10) when flying this massive plane with Ali standing next to you? I bet it was 11.... Well done my friend..

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Yep. 11 for sure! Thanks Will.

[@dalerbsr.5061]

I just had my 1st flight of the OV-10 30cc powered electric, perfect maiden thanks H9. Only issues was landing gear out of sync, but after a while I figured out to reverse the nose gear polarity by installing jst plug upside down from the others in booms. Now I am trying to get reverse thrust, after 3 days I can only get one motor to do it at a time. Using AR20400T, Avian 230kv motors, and a pair of Avian 160HV ESC’s. Oh and I have the NX20, and everything is firmware updated to latest. Help please… 🙏

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Congrats on your flight! You may have to use the Spektrum Avian programmer to individually program each ESC. www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&merchant_id=953aec29-878e-4306-b620-2df85883455e&website_id=8dba204c-b65e-4b7f-95c3-89346f512d7c&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.horizonhobby.com%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.horizonhobby.com%2Fproduct%2Fsmart-esc-programming-update-box-avian-and-firma%2FSPMXCA200.html

[@sanexup1038]

Very cool! I hope they let you review one. It'd be cool to hear what the electric setup is, it's hard to hear it with all the lawnmowers running and the prop noise.😂

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Oh man I don't know where I'd put it! Or if I could transport it. I doubt I'll ever review one, but it was great getting to fly it with Ali. We should have mic'd us up during the interview, but we didn't have them in the bag and I didn't want to make Ali wait for me to go all the way back to the car. I think the electric set up is listed on the website.

[@sanexup1038]

@@ModelAV8RChannel Ha ha! Yeah, I know it breaks down but it looks like I'd need a box truck to take it flying and to just store it in. What a special plane though! It's a dream plane for sure, to have one that big. Pretty awesome that you got to fly it!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

It was totally an honor.

[@MaaAnnapurnakitchen1244]

Wow beautiful

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@chadwickcarlton2251]

How would I get in contact with the guy that has this plane? I have one and I'm having issues with my landing gear sequencing and doors

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

I don't think you can, but you can check out the thread on Flying Giants or RC Groups for guidance.

[@DadsRCHangar]

That’s one Orsum build, if he wanted to build another one, he can always give her to me 😊. Great video Adam and great Camera work as usual. 🫡

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Chris! Awesome airplane.
