My personal experience is with two OS 91 4 stroke motors on my OV-10, but a friend put two Zenoah G26 motors on his bigger B-25 model. He told me that vibration was taking its toll on his plane's...

Good advice. Shipping costs can be pretty significant for larger planes too. Sometimes it makes sense to take all the useful components (batteries, servos, motors) out and take the rest to a swap...

Prop_Washer2, I put OS .91 4-strokes in my 80" OV-10. My plane weighs 19lb and I have ~16lb of static thrust. Near sea level, this plane has a lot of vertical performance! I figure I have enough...

You're welcome my friend. I beefed up my landing gear mounts too, it couldn't hurt! Many happy landings! :)

Kim, my 80" Bronco had a slight nose down attitude with roughly 30 degrees flaps. That worked for me, so I didn't add any elevator mixing.

RE: OV-10 Bronco 81

BTW, the reason some OV-10s tend to jump off the runway and try to climb out at a very steep angle initially is because the main gear is too far aft.

RE: OV-10 Bronco 81

Rich, you're very welcome. By the way, YOUR models ain't too shabby either! Besides the 81" Bronco, I also have the smaller OV-10, the SE-5, and the Fokker D7 kits. Good luck with the canopy!

Rich, Keith may be slow in responding, depending on what is going on. He replied to my email in a couple of days. I didn't get an error message when I emailed him.

RE: OV-10 Bronco 81

Hey guys, if you have Sierra Precision gear, periodically check the threaded cap on the strut to verify it isn't backing out. I had the cap unscrew after a "firm" landing and noticed my plane was...

RE: OV-10 Bronco 81

Gentlemen, for what it's worth, I put spruce spars in my wing. My plane is ~19 lb RTF (some are a little heavier), so I don't regret using spruce. BTW, my 3 piece wing was ~1 oz lighter than the...

RE: OV-10 Bronco 81

Yes, I ordered mine a few years ago; you could get either the "scale" nose gear that rotates forward, or the "sport scale" gear that rotates aft. I assume you can still order either type. (Sorry, I'm...

RE: OV-10 Bronco 81

Rinnander, if you have the ARF, check the nose gear mount to make sure it is braced properly. I installed the Sierra Precision nose gear, then tested the strut a few times by pushing down on the fuse...

RE: OV-10 Bronco 81

Rich Uravitch really got the CG, thrust and incidence angles right. I never touched the trim on the maiden flight. The plane flew straight and level hands off. Nice work, Rich!

Hi Paul, thanks for the kind words. I made a shim out of wood, but washers would work also. Trust me, you will love the way your Bronco flies!
