The full-size OV-10 Bronco was one of the most versatile military aircraft and saw action as a light attack and observational platform. Faster than a helicopter yet slower with more maneuverability than a jet, the Bronco was the best of both worlds bringing a multitude of tactical advantages. In military operations, the Bronco excelled at anti-guerrilla operations, air support and utility missions. It saw action in the final years of the Vietnam War and flew combat missions in Operation Desert Storm.
As a rarely modeled warbird, the Hangar 9® OV-10 Bronco features incredible scale details and a unique flight experience as a twin-engine aircraft. Hangar 9 is proud to introduce this modern warbird in a complete ARF format for the giant scale RC pilot.
For the giant-scale warbird enthusiast and experienced pilot, the new Hangar 9® OV-10 Bronco is our largest giant-scale warbird to date. It features many scale details and the incredible flight performance Hangar 9 customers expect. As a unique subject, the OV-10 Bronco features many scale details such as highly detailed satin-finish printed covering and ultra-scale accessories including pilot, cockpit details and sidewinder missiles. The fully painted fiberglass cowlings feature added weathering for scale realism. Featuring a 108-inch wingspan, this model represents giant scale flying, yet is practical enough to fly every day. The three-piece plug-in wing with center section landing gear support allows for easy transportation and field assembly. Designed to accept 30 – 35cc gasoline engines as well as electric power, the complete hardware kit is included and makes mounting the power system quick and easy. Like the full-size warbird, the scale undercarriage legs are sprung for shock absorption and made from high grade aluminum, taking most of the bounce out of tough terrain. Available separately, the required electric retract set with shock-absorbing scale struts provides additional scale realism. The Hangar 9 OV-10 30cc is a matchless model delivering the flight experience of a versatile twin-engine aircraft.
