Beautiful project and superb attention to detail! I suggest two additions: 1) Scale diameter 3-blade props. You will lose a bit of efficiency, but at slow speed, 3 blades will move a lot more air for STOL action. 2) A scale mains retract that has a very unique tucking action as it retracts, shortening the length of the gear leg as it moves into the nacelle. It wold take a bit of engineering, your project deserves no less!
I figured the escs would be bad after powering them on with no motors attached. I made the same mistake, and horizon set me straight. Also those retracts can not handle constant cycling. They will burn up 100% of the time.
Hi, I did the batteries directly under the wing by extending the original battery plate backwards. The Bronco flys even better and with very low landing speed when you bring the cg a little back. I have mine around 185mm I think. CG is not critical on this plane.
Nicely done Jonathan.Trouble with Twins 2 of everything is lots wiring.😮😮 Yeah once the props on ya got 2 x ungaurded Circular Saws😅. The only benefit is they cut cleaner than IC engines😂😮😅. Did the motor issue on the Landing gear get sorted or are ya only gonna get 50 odd flights before replacements required😅. Bummer re ESC packing up and time wasted sorting it out but ya did a nice job in pointing the issue and no magic smoke appeared😂😮😅. Nice design on the battery tray placement bit of jiggery pokery always works😂. I suspect the elevator is going to be pretty powerful being in the prop blast all the time should interesting to see what you settle on eventually. Great job as always. 😂😮😅 Keep at it. 😅
@@medscott2 Hanger 9 has switched vendors for the motors. If you order replacements through them, that will cure the issue. On my original gear, one main motor was doa and the other only lasted a handful of flights before craping out. So far the original nose gear motor hasn't been an issue, but there is less stress on that one as the gear leg is shorter, so less load.
That is my understanding too, navigation lights on constant, anti collision lights flash. As per aviation standard. I think he set this up this due to his preference. It's a model after all. Not a competition scale aircraft
@thelightersideofrc he's right. Transmitter needs to read high and low throttle. Not a super big deal but you have to use the transmitter it's being flown with.
That's technically not the motor shaft. The motor shaft goes through the center of the motor that is a bolt-on prop hub. I'm sure the actual motor shaft is 6 mm.

Another amazing Build 👌🇬🇧
🙌😎
Great results. Turned out fantastic!
Thank you!
Thats what we use to call great job. Would love to watch a video of this beast flying.
Thank you very much!
Wow this is something Else 👌👌👌👌
Thank you!
Superb !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Me sorprende su profesionalismo , calidad y detalles en todo sus obras de arte.
Thank you very much!
Another beautiful build Jonathan. Looks Great.
Tell the owner to send some flight video so you can share it.
Thank you very much! Hope to get some footage from him.

Would love to see it in flight!!

WOW~ Jon!!
Thanks Dean!
Good work mate looks awesome
Thank you very much!
Hi Jon, great vid series. Here in the states the nav lights are not flashing just the white strobes.
Thanks for watching!

Hey Nick. Thank you. Ordered new updated motors. 6 of them! So will likely change 2 or 3 of them and then the owner will have some spares!
@@thelightersideofrc what are the replacement motors, I have the same Hangar9 OV-10.

@RobertTerhune-z3y 😎👍
The motor shaft dia is one thing the dia of the prop adapter is another
👍
Cool plane, is it correct, that the navigation lights flash on the bronco? In civil aviation the navigation lights are constant lighted.
That is my understanding too, navigation lights on constant, anti collision lights flash. As per aviation standard. I think he set this up this due to his preference. It's a model after all. Not a competition scale aircraft
Probably not. Just got the controller setup like that. Easily changeable.
👍
Collaboration needs to be done on speed controller
🤔
@thelightersideofrc he's right. Transmitter needs to read high and low throttle. Not a super big deal but you have to use the transmitter it's being flown with.
I had to reinforce the inside rounded corners of the lower back fuse just ahead of the tail cone, sheeting was deforming in my cradle.
👍
when is f4 flight?i want to see it!
Probably spring time.
Doesn't it get to you how anal people can be, especially when the plane is not theirs. You must have thick skin, brother
LOL. Totally! It has gotten much thicker after 5 years of TH-cam!😂😂
