RE: OV10 Bronco

Everything is scratch build but the fiberglass parts. The canopy door latch hardware is a combination of some Dubro ball link parts and my machined parts. I have a lot more completed on the...

RE: OV10 Bronco

RE: OV10 Bronco

My Bronco will weigh about 35-38 pounds when finished. It is fully sheeted with balsa or very thin ply. I plan to finish with 1/2 ounce fiberglas cloth and West Systems Epoxy and then auto primer...

RE: OV10 Bronco

RE: OV10 Bronco

I used the Spring Air mechanics and built my own struts. A little complicated but they work well with the Spring Air actuators. I tried the original 3/16" wire struts and they just didn't work. ...

RE: OV10 Bronco

Good feedback. I have 4 of these servos on a smaller funfly airplane and they are doing fine, but I don't want to take any chances with this big guy. Will go look at what is available in that size...
