I guarded the OV-10s at Osan AB in South Korea in 1980. A few had ABD (Aircraft Battle Damage) patches from being involved in the SS Mayaguez incident which happened in 1975 on the coast of Cambodia. Patches were autographed on the inside of the fuselage by maintenance crews. A great FAC (Forward Air Controller) aircraft in Southeast Asia. Loved the sound of the OV-10 taxing out of the Tab-Vee hardened hangars. Looking forward to the build. Thanks!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Super Cool! Amazing how many people have first hand experience with this aircraft!

[@airman9820]

I have one of these Broncos, I fly Jeti and went all serial using elites system. I have a 6 channel expander in each of the main wings outer opening and then all the servos in the tail and boom plug into the expander so that there is only 3 wires that plug into the main receiver instead of at least a dozen in a normal install. I also put my batteries on a carbon plate and they slide into and lock in a bracket that I made, sort of how heli batterys are installed. I have a few videos on my channel showing all the mods that I made on my Bronco. Will be interesting to see your take on the setup. One more plus is that this plane comes with a lifetime supply of bubble wrap.

[@thelightersideofrc]

That's a cool setup idea for sure! That method didn't even cross my mind but makes sense!

[@davidsnyder238]

Ive built 2 of these, totally fantastic model. Mine were done in electric on 12s with quarter scale pilots. What your doing will be fantastic. Looking forward to seeing it.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks David! Yea this will be a fun one for sure!

[@charlestreadway6491]

I had the job of installing the guns and weapons on the OV-10 in Vietnam.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Very Cool! Surprised at the number of people that have personal experience with these aircraft!

[@Axr24have]

Be good to see in it’s new livery!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Should transform it for sure!

[@alric9562]

Nice to see you finslly fo another propnplsne. Rlectric too, wow. 😅

[@thelightersideofrc]

😁

[@billyjewett5006]

My neighbor when I was a kid flew these in Nam. He was a Lt Col who took a surface to air missile that was shot at his helicopter right off his chest and shoulder. He loved to talk about flying low and attacking the enemy (he used a colorful non PC term).

[@thelightersideofrc]

Crazy! The number of people with first hand experience is very cool!

[@marksapollo]

Never heard of this, I see it's sold as an ARF, not bad value for a plane this big and with retracts. Watching videos it's fairly aerobatic too and with electric power it has instant torque. Nice.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea it's bit of an ugly duckling but cool scale plane. And fun to fly!

[@jrmotorsports5532]

Definitely an interesting project. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 👍

[@Sluf7]

Very nice....it,s a substanial piece of kit. Look forward to the re do in the Future. Keep at it now. ;0)

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 👍😊

[@johne9562]

And the cat goes in the box..didn't see that coming!

[@thelightersideofrc]

😂😂😂

[@5EyesIsntWatching]

My first "RC plane" was a dual Cox glo plug engined Guillow B-17 with control lines. I thought that was huge lol. The planes you unbox make it look like a ant lol. Took me 8 months to build and an hour of flight before a tree jumped out and tackled it lol.

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Yea it's amazing how things have changed.

[@brianarnet9040]

That will be a really cool build! Glad the covering is coming off. It seems a bit of a waste to manufacture such a cool/expensive airframe and then use pre-printed covering lol! Great work with your videos, I truly appreciate how much I learn from watching them.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea I get it. It's to hit a pricepoint but once it comes back it should look stellar!

[@karlhines82]

@thelightersideofrc I think you should do a dual turbo prop on this one…. There is one in Germany that has 2 xicoy X45TP on it.

[@thelightersideofrc]

That would be cool but Electric is already decided.

[@craigcarr5704]

Hello Jonathan nice one 👍……my club mate has one of these and they are superb flyer, but he has similar gripes about the stock covering so really looking forward to the outcome after glassing.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! Should look stellar when it comes back!

[@Gizmo2024]

You should add a rotating FLIR in the nose..

[@thelightersideofrc]

[@Gizmo2024]

Love the Bronco, used to work on them in USMC...

[@thelightersideofrc]

[@edwinmclean2591]

Thank you for all your videos! When do you expect to be able to do this build after the covering has been replaced? Iam going to wait on building mine till after you finish yours! I was going to use the E Flite Power 180 Motor 195:Kv with Avian 120 Amp Smart ESC & Spektrum AR20410T 20-Channel PowerSafe Receiver with Synapse.Iam open for suggestions. So, all your help is appreciated I love your channel.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for watching! I suspect it will be back in 4 ish weeks. Hopefully we can get going on it right away.

[@terrencejackson4587]

I was hoping you were going to say Kingtech turboprops were going to be installed.

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. NOPE!

[@williamb.9110]

Nez was the star of the show LOL

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Always is!

[@anupamdasrc6970]

This build does worry me a little in that im concerned about your cat's mental health once the boxes are gone.

[@thelightersideofrc]

🤣🤣🤣

[@alwaysflying6540]

I will speak for you lol. The printed covering is Caps lock terrible. I'm interested to see this model after it changes hands a few times applying different building and finishing techniques

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Thanks for that! Yes will look much better when it comes back!

[@ramonmedina1974]

I like the Hangar 9 Bronco. But something that bothers me about this Hangar 9 aircraft is the weathering. Many model builders would rather do it themselves, especially it comes across as stupid when you are on the field and everyone knows that the weathering was already included on such a model. I'm very excited to see what the model looks like when finished.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea the printed covering leaves something to be desired. I think it will look stellar when it's back!

[@ramonmedina1974]

@@thelightersideofrc 👍👍👍👍👍

[@sorryociffer]

Who are you having do the refinishing?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Joe @ RCCUSTOM3DPRINTING.com

[@josephstanley5138]

Is everything getting glassed,repainted, and weathered or just the main fuselage,booms,wings, nacelles

[@thelightersideofrc]

Everything is getting glassed, painted etc etc.

[@josephstanley5138]

@@thelightersideofrc lights or straight out of the box build

[@Axr24have]

BTW, did i miss the completion of the T-33?

[@thelightersideofrc]

No. The T33 as it's for me is on the back burner till time allows.

[@justinm1150]

probably take awhile to strip off all that covering

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea the stripping, glassing and refinishing will be a bit!

[@cymaz100]

I need one of these

[@thelightersideofrc]

Great fliers!

[@wayneschenk5512]

Twin 44s😅

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA. Electric!

[@HornetFlyer]

It will look even better if gear doors are added. It's that in the plan for it.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yes for sure!
