OV-10 Bronco 57"
Well, for the unenlightened Rich U sells a 57" version, which I am building right now. I will be using 2 36 engines ()little over the max, but more power is good.
The 57" can be extends out two wing frames if you want more wing area.
This is the first kit I have built since the early 60's and a lot has changed but I am taking my time and making sure everything is right. got the main body done, and have about 75% of both nacelles done. Just starting the wing, but have not had any time lately.
Will keep you advise as I progress.

yes I do, but I am at work and getting ready to leave town for a few days.
real quick,
the nacelles are the most difficult item to build and fit takes some doing. I also felt the boom section needec some strenghtening and I ran a center stringer down the back halp of the nacelle. This helps pull everything together. Instructions are IMO not that good. However, RU has answered every
question I have sent in, so I figure it must be me!!!!
I will get a full detail to you when I get back!!!..... but I love this plane and I am having a great time building it. Please note it is more squatish in detail than the 81" with the fiberglass parts.
