Straight Up!

This is some of the best footage from cameras onboard an RC plane that I've ever seen. The in cockpit pan tilt views are amazing. The quality of the cockpit finishing is great and adds to the realism. It seems like a limiting factor for cockpit realism is the quality and clarity of the glass and the junction of where and how the glass is framed and mounted. Everything else like dials look so real.

Thanks! Yes, and this is one of the better canopies I have put an fpv under. Some of the poorer plastic canopies I can improve with a floor shine type coating.

Outstanding!!! Most aviation fans are all about the F-18's, F-16's, etc. Not many are interested in the ugly ducks like the OV-10 Bronco, OV-1 Mohawk, etc. But to me, the OV-10 was a beautiful plane built to do what it did based on need, not speed. The A-10 is another example. One bad-ass plane that the guys on the ground are thankful for.

I agree with you on wanting the oddballs. I have always had a love for the O-2 Skymaster since my uncle had a civilian skymaster he flew in the 90s. Not sure if anyone makes a decent RC of it or not but I think they're just neat

I made replacement cockpit crew windows using stretched acrylic for this aircraft in the early 90's in Michigan. Excited to see an RC version of this plane. Great job!

That digital fpv system looks so awesome

I love the new cockpit view, especially looking over at those spinning props--just like being there! The Snake Eyes were awesome.

Thanks. forgot some lnks so I put them in the description

Your flying buddy Rick is a brave man!

The Mk.82 Snakeyes made this rig next level!

Impressive. my critical nature has to search hard for anything that might be considered a flaw, then it's only related to ordinance, and then it's impractical on the scale: slower opening of the drag fins to prevent impact with the aircraft or other ordinance. Excellent work.

As a little girl I got to go on a CAX (Combined Arms Exercise) training mission with my Dad out at 29 palms. I got to ride in a Bronco that was doing a mock recon team insertion. The images from your cockpit were so realistic that I could almost feel the sensations from that ride so long ago!!! Thanks for sharing this.

I'm glad I could bring back such good memories! Thanks

Love these realistic setups. Add some cap loaders or blank heads under the nose cone. If done correctly, you can add a tiny extra bit of front end weight to the armaments, as well as create a nice “bang” on impact.

OV-10s were still in use in Korea flown from Camp Humphreys when I was there mid 90s. I'm very familiar with the ordnance as I was an Aviation Ordnanceman in the Navy and I assembled Mk-80 series bombs in many configurations including those shown. That made watching this all that much more enjoyable.

The thumbnail made this look so realistic...at least I thought it was anyway. Those model bombs are just fantastic!!!! Go Bronco!!

Ngl those are some pretty cool bombs, looks pretty much exactly like the real-life counterparts (Especially the snake-eyes)

Big bombs. No booms. Really nice work on the cockpit. That’s awesome you can turn the pilots head to look around. That must be really cool to fly it like that.

I'm not a modeler but I was a Load Toad on A-10A's back in late 1970's and I had a thing for the OV-10 since I was a kid. As a loader, I learned to load and wire both low drag and Snake Eye bombs and later the newer high drags with the Ballute inflatable Retarded Bomb system. I was really amazed at how well your Snake Eyes worked, especially on such a small scale. When we loaded the real ones, we would use a longer length of arming wire to prevent the fins from opening until they were nearly 3' away from the air craft. If they opened too soon it would damage the air frame. The pilots would also use the "Ripple" feature when dropping multiple bombs to prevent the tail fins from hitting each other by inducing a short 1/4 second delay from one release to the next. I'd really love to see you wire up some rockets. Most OV-10 used by the Air Force were FAC, (Forward Air Controllers) and they rarely if ever carried MK 82s. The primary load out was a mix of HE and WP 2.75" Rockets in the LAU-32 or LAU-68 rocket pods. We only used the LAU-32, 7 tube launchers on the A-10s but during the VN war, the OV-10 carried both. They used WP to mark targets for the fighters and HE if they were doing their own fighting. A good friend I'd met after my AF days, Gary Ferentchak was an Air Force FAC pilot on his second tour and flew OV-10s. He was even written up in the book, "The Rescue of BAT-21" by Darrel Whitcomb. It's a great book that tells the REAL story of BAT-21.

Thank you for the great info however as recreational model pilots in the United States we are not allowed to launch pyrotechnics. Everything we do has to be inert.

THAT IS MY DREAM, just add a gibal Ifra-red camera, that would been everthing I could thing off. I love it. THX for showing

Pretty darn amazing!! Love the cockpit view and the bombs impaling the ground.👍👍

Very cool. Your designs and execution is remarkable. Many years ago I read your build article for the Vertigo in Model Aircraft News, might still have the issue. It took me a while to figure out the motor control circuit for the nacelle tilt/jackscrew ( didn't have the plan ) That brilliant little circuit has been so handy in many projects, thank you Sir.

Snake eye drop is amazing. It looks totally realistic

Love watching Snake Eyes fall. In cockpit view is awesome, that would work great for dogfighting.

that is some great video shots from inside the cockpit!! and underneath!!

That IS the coolest RC video I’ve EVER seen! Great job.

Incredible detail on the model inside and out

BTW brilliant flying!

Great work mate. Looked really cool.

That is seriously awesome. If I ever really get back into RC, I am going FPV for sure.

This is a triumph!

the bronco is amazing and my favorite propeller aircraft

"Boys never actually grow up. Their toys just get bigger and more expensive". I would have exploded if I had this as a kid.

Thats a rocking little plane. Love it

Very cool. Looks like a lot of fun

Looks like some Vietnam war footage I've never seen! Coolest model ever and those bombs are crazy sick!

I gotta say ive always thought rc planes and such... kinda nerdy, but the fpv set up is really cool having that vs the ole controller/looking around in the sky seems way cooler and more realistic that you dont quite get from a drone.

Very cool from here in England

Absolutely love the cockpit view with pan and tilt. I wonder if you could use DJI’s goggles Integra and be able to turn your head to turn the camera.

That camo was 10/10😅

Yeah that digital camera view from the cockpit is amazing! what a contrast from the first clips of the analog. It would be nice if you could get a cockpit / canopy covering that was dimensionally accurate in its formation. you can see a lot of aberration where the thickness changes for the molding. It may be a limitation of the process and materials used, so I wonder if there is high dimensional accuracy transparent optical grade material that can be formed into the scale shape you want. otherwise just a regular dome like all the commercial drones have. molding a canopy that has better optical characteristics would be really hard, maybe you could get away with multiple flat planes of near perfect glass that basically represents the canopy lines of that aircraft but up close are flat, that could be one trade off that might work for you if you want to be "semi-scale". Somehow though, seeing all the work that went into the dimensional accuracy of the snake-eyes and the realism you captured in their form and function the flat glass is probably a non starter for you. Come to think of it.. the front canopy panel may be the only spot you could actually put something that allows you higher optical fidelity and maintains true scale. Anyways, Amazing work, very cool videos and looking forward to more of these!

That’s Freaking Awesome Tom !!!!👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻😃

Now you need to make the bombs hold 12 gage blank ''dog training rounds'' that are louder than normal 12 gage loads. Excellent model, excellent flying skills, and the OV-10 is my favorite plane next to the P51-D. I'll buy a real OV-10 for you and one for me if I win the Powerball.
