David Ashby - Moderator Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Andy B from our club giving his Bronco a good wringing out yesterday. This is the same model that many would have seen at the shows a few years back usually flown by Dave Stevens.

Pete B Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Oh yes, definitely on my 'To Do' list for the future. There's something about the OV-10 that ticks all the boxes - twin engines, twin-boom and a big bubble canopy......... Nicely flown, too......

Alan Cantwell Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Would that be the YT one???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Walters Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Beautiful model and very nicely flown too. Loved the sound as well. When I was learning to fly in Florida my Cessna 150 and I shared practice circuits with 2 Broncos from the DEA. Over there they fly very tight patterns (circuits) and I would say that it was interesting to try to keep position with them!! Thanks David very interesting!

Would I be right in saying that this actual model was the YT prototype Alan? Don't quote me but I think that's what Andy said.

moorer Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yes nicely flown,you just cant beat a large petrol model.I see you have the sheep poo on the strip problem that we have! We have an electric fence around ours and the blighters still get in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cantwell Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 yes, if it was mr stephens, it was indeed the prototype, nice to see its still around, they fly, as you can see, very well, but as with all twins, not a good seller, no longer in production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cantwell Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 yes, there is always lots of interest, but not many commitments, a ll the twins are brought in in small numbers, there is tremedeous interest in a mosquito, but i would be surprised if it sold in large numbers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwyn Gee Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Unless they are electric and reliable. Alwyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cantwell Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Not really, most of ours are petrol sized, they are a lot safer than glow, its just that there is a lot of money to be spent, not any out there can sink such a large sum into a model like the bronco, its a 4 figure deal, those who do tend to enjoy the experiance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cantwell Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 yes Dave, that and the thoughts of that wing stalling down quicker than a quick thing, the wing design has been sorted, trouble is, most of the twins are of american aircraft, with the exeption of the ME110, the mossie, although well known over here, is not on the americans want list, product development very much depends on the american market, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
