Default RE: OV-10 Bronco 81"

We had a great turnout for the Hatbox Field Memorial IMAA Flyin Friday and Saturday. Dick did get his Bronco in the air and it looked great.

We had 34 registered pilots with 9 twins. 3 Uravich Broncos (1 ARF and 2 scratch built from plans), 3 Nolsen Cessna 310s, my F83, Ollen Ruhterford's Scale Masters winning Ziroli Beech D18, and Merlyn Graves' giant 98 pound Bristol Benheim Bomber. All flew either Friday or Saturday. You have to see that Beheim Bomber in flight to appreciate Merlyn's skills in both building and flying.

Mike's Bronco had a servo failure after Friday's flight on the elevator and Dick's landing gear strut problem kept us from flying in formation but maybe next year.

I can't say enough about how this Bronco design flies and the ARF version just further proves the quality of the design.
