Once you get past the wiring dilemma and get this plane in the air I will say this is one of the best produced by Motion RC. Only thing I'd say is I wish it had a little more power but other than that well worth the cash.

This is a great airplane, especially for first time multi engine pilots. It flies very well, is predictable and lands very smooth and slow. Watch the videos for the wiring process!! When set up properly, the flaps work together as they should. The paint and finish is great, and the detail work is great.

The fit and finish was not as good as the first OV-10 Bronco I purchased.

Quick delivery. Plane went together quickly but recommend watching video on fitting wires as a bit confusing. Looks great in the air

The first mistake was that I hadn't read any reviews. I had no idea about the roll oscillation which is very pronounced. I only discovered the oscillation when I began flying my Bronco. I was shocked. I attempted to hack it by towing in the rudders since its actually a yaw oscillation that translates into a roll oscillation. That managed to reduce it by about 70%. But I still wasn't pleased. So I had to completely disassemble my Bronco because to retrieve the receiver under the wing. I then installed an Admiral RX600SP receiver with stability, (mounted accessible from the battery hatch this time). That, I had been assured would solve my problem. It did eventually, but there is a programming hack you must know. IF you reverse the GEAR channel. the stability will NOT switch off and on unless you adjust the GAIN in the Switch I - GEAR mix to (-) negative 5%. That little diddy took hours to figure out. Another warning; If your GEAR is on a 3 position switch expect stability to be disabled in the center position. Another problem I had was that my motors initially would not run. When I attempted to reprogram the ESCs I was stymied by the fact they had each initialized out of phase with the other. So one ESC would be on step 2 in the program and the other still on Step 1. The solution proved to be elusive at first. After some experimenting I discovered the solution. When the two ESC's initialize, you must ignore the tones coming from the ESC on the side with the BEC. Only pay attention to the other side and program it. Don't worry about the BEC side, you will program that side later. Once none BEC has been programmed unplug both batteries then replug them. When the side with the BEC has initialized you must unplug the side without the BEC. Now you program the ESC on the BEC side. BOOM, in that manner you may program your ESC independently and without disassembling the model. Once you start getting your Bronco dialed in you will notice it flies well at 50% power. And a drop of oil on the trailing link gear pivot point allows them to function best. I compressed the mains several times by hand to stretch the springs slightly and soften the suspension. These gear have an enormous amount of travel. The plane flies well and I enjoy it but it was a pain at first.
