Initially conceived in the 1960s for counter-insurgency (COIN) combat, the North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco was designed to be a versatile military aircraft that saw action as a light attack and observational platform. During the final years of the Vietnam War and in Operation Desert Storm, the Bronco excelled at anti-guerrilla operations, air support, and utility missions.
Now, with the E-flite® Micro OV-10 Bronco, you can experience flying your own replica of this unique twin-turboprop aircraft — in a version that's practical, affordable, and incredibly fun. Designed for everyday RC pilots, it’s compatible with popular 3S 600–850mAh batteries and comes factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box.
Equipped with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies, this is the easiest OV-10 model to fly yet. Choose to fly with the included scale-style fixed landing gear for smooth-surface operations or remove it for more speed and performance when flying over grass. Either way, you’ll enjoy an authentic Bronco flying experience like no other.
Overview
The OV-10 Bronco is one of the most unique and recognizable twin-turboprop military aircraft of all time. Larger OV-10 models, including the popular Hangar 9 20cc and 30cc versions, may be out of reach for many RC pilots – but the E-flite® Micro OV-10 Bronco is sized to be affordable and practical for most!
Advanced electronics include a factory-installed Spektrum control unit with an integrated receiver and ESCs, delivering real-time telemetry data such as overall battery voltage, current, and more – with both Smart and non-Smart batteries – when using compatible Spektrum radios featuring AirWare software. The twin brushless outrunner motors, paired with counter-rotating propellers, deliver an excellent blend of speed and vertical performance.
The expertly-engineered design makes it easy to fly in scale-like or sport fashion, and to perform aerobatics including loops, rolls, and inverted flight. With a fully-molded, lightweight EPS airframe, functional LED navigation lights, optional fixed landing gear, and Hand Launch Assist Mode, this model gives you flexible launching and landing options whether on pavement or grass.
Key Features
Most practical and easiest-to-fly OV-10 Bronco model yet

Skill Level 3 – Intermediate Pilots (Experience Required)
Skill Level 3 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who already have experience with “Next Step” and beyond aircraft, plus the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. And although this is the easiest to fly OV-10 Bronco model yet, it's not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly models like the E-flite UMX Timbers, UMX Twin Otter, Micro DRACO, Micro Scrappy, or larger and twin models before attempting to fly the Micro OV-10 Bronco.
Bind-N-Fly® Completion Level Advantage
Already own a Spektrum transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed, so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!
Exclusive Technologies
This is the first OV-10 Bronco model equipped with exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch to make this an easier to fly OV-10. SAFE Select also features an automatic Hand Launch Assist mode that senses the force of a hand launch and adds up elevator so the airplane climbs at a higher angle for a few seconds to make it easier to launch.
Telemetry Capability
The Micro OV-10 Bronco is equipped with a control unit including a receiver and ESCs that provide a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data, including overall battery voltage, current draw, and more – when using Smart and non-Smart batteries – to compatible Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, the iX12 to 20, and others) while you fly.
High Performance
The factory-installed twin brushless power system features powerful 3S-compatible outrunner motors equipped with counter-rotating props. This power system setup delivers great speed and vertical performance, plus flight times, when using the recommended 600–850mAh 30+C LiPo batteries with an IC2 connector.
Gear Options
You can use the included fixed landing gear – with a steerable nose wheel – to taxi, take off from, and land on smooth surfaces. Or fly without the landing gear installed for more speed and vertical performance while utilizing the automatic Hand Launch Assist Mode for easy hand launches over and landings on grass.
Durable Design
The EPS airframe features more molded-in and other scale details than smaller UMX/ultra-micro class models, along with plastic-reinforced nacelle and sponson bottoms plus composite reinforcements in the nose, booms, and throughout to make it strong and stiff yet also lightweight. The result is an outstanding scale appearance that's easy to maintain and delivers the best possible flying experience.
Fully Assembled
The Micro OV-10 Bronco arrives 100% factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box! It's equipped with industry-leading Spektrum 2.4GHz technology that binds to your 5+ channel DSMX/DSM2 equipped transmitter so you can be flying within minutes of opening the box.
Factory Finished
The factory-applied and fully-painted with decal finish not only looks great but also replicates a unique Philippine Air Force (PAF) trim scheme. Plus, the factory-installed LED navigation lights add to the scale experience while improving visibility and orientation in low-light conditions.
