RE: KMP OV-10 Bronco (refurb job)

Hey Guys, I'm pulling up this thread for an update. Last year about this time I had an engine flame out on me so I had a hard landing that broke the center wing section on the left side. Well I decided to finnally fix her back.

First I found the main spar in this plane to be something simular to hard balsa stringers. So I inserted two new basswood spars down beside the old ones. The center is completely sheeted now an waiting on some glass this weekend. It is very strong now.

Here are a few in flight shots of her a few weeks before the "crash landing"
