OV-10 Bronco 1800mm (70.8") Wingspan from Nexa - Balsa Wood ARF - NXA1000-001
The North American\/Rockwell OV-10 Bronco was developed to meet the requirements of the United States Marine Corps Light Armed Reconnaissance Aircraft (LARA) program that was to provide the service with a multi-role aircraft that could operate in the armed reconnaissance and light attack roles from unprepared, forward airstrips. The ability to loiter in the combat area for an extended period was a key requirement.
The Bronco evolved to perform a broad range of roles including observation, forward air control, helicopter escort, armed reconnaissance, utility light air transport and limited ground attack. It has also performed aerial radiological reconnaissance, tactical air observation, artillery and naval gunfire spotting, airborne control of tactical air support operations and front-line, low-level aerial photography.
The Nexa OV-10 Bronco is scaled to approximately 1:6.7 and attention has been given to providing a realistic appearance with outstanding flight characteristics. The model was designed for electric power but can also be flown using a matched pair of internal combustion engines of about 9cc displacement.
