OV10 Bronco by Planeprint

[davidk]

Time to start the Bronco.

Wingspan?

[davidk]

Wingspan 1400mm / 55.1 inches.  Printable in 2 versions, A or D, and with or without the sponsons on the sides of the fuselage.  I've printed the short nose A version with the sponsons.

[davidk]

The rear 2 sections of the main fuselage are made up of 4 printed parts... tops and bottoms.
The gold piece is a crossbar brace.  The carbon fibre tubes run through the fuselage and through this crossbar.
There are a lot of alignment tabs between these 2 sections.

[davidk]

Twin booms done.  The parts are so similar that it's tough to tell left from right.  Planeprint designs an "L" and "R" into parts.

[davidk]

Really nice hinging system.

[Michael]

Impressive design and engineering.

[davidk]

Very good structure on this OV10.  There's a cross-brace in the fuselage and the front landing gear is supported by 2 6mm CF tubes crossing over sections.
