EZ Bronco 1.5

[LitterBug]

Well, not having any luck getting dRonin running on the board but have Betaflight running with 2 motors mixed correctly. So this is a GO! Adding servos will be a bonus but looks VERY doable. On to cutting foam!

What size brushed motors come in the FT brushed kit? (Height/width/propsize)

Rather than cluttering up your thread further, I have created a build thread documenting my builds.

The 2-channel comes with 7x16, I think...
The 3-channels used to be 8x20, if I remember correctly.

Looking forward to following your thread!

Bah. have to work during first indoor fly this weekend. My hand cut skills are not so great. Going to refine my builds by picking up a Creality CV-30 5W Laser cutter. Will be able to cut balsa with it too. Will document settings here:

Maiden successful!

Now to fix the plans up to be released into the wild...

Well done. A triumph of design and perseverance. I can’t wait to build and fly one.
You should feel very proud of your accomplishment.

I love it, so much to build, so little time, but this just went towards the top of my list, thanks!

BETA versions of the Un-EZ Bronco are attached here.
The canopy needs to be tinkered with the get it to align properly, but if you enjoy a trickier build for a silly easy plane, then this is yours! The end result is definitely worth it, and this little gem flies just as well as the profile version (once you get the CG right).

Finally picked up a FT EZ power Pack V2. Have a few months to finish my build before indoor season starts.
