During part of the flight, you likely heard and saw for a split second my buddy Bryan's Freewing Messerschmitt Me 262 Twin 70mm EDF Jet. He also has a Freewing MiG-21 80MM EDF Jet GBLynden has posted videos of up on his channel.
This is the same location where GBLynden and I made the second flight video with his new Avios MiG-17 90mm EDF Jet. Look at my videos to see footage of that big beautiful RC Jet too!

This is how Motion RC Describes it:
"The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco was developed to meet the requirements of the United States Marine Corps Light Armed Reconnaissance Aircraft (LARA) program that was to provide the service with a multi-role aircraft that could operate in the armed reconnaissance and light attack roles from unprepared, forward airstrips. The ability to loiter in the combat area for an extended period was a key requirement.
The Bronco evolved to perform a broad range of roles including observation, forward air control, helicopter escort, armed reconnaissance, utility light air transport and limited ground attack. It has also performed aerial radiological reconnaissance, tactical air observation, artillery and naval gunfire spotting, airborne control of tactical air support operations and front-line, low-level aerial photography.
The ProFly OV-10 Bronco is scaled to approximately 1:6.7 and attention has been given to providing a realistic appearance with outstanding flight characteristics. The model was designed for electric power but can also be flown using a matched pair of internal combustion engines of about 6-7cc displacement.
