Dirty Dee, are your OV10 mods on Thingiverse?

Currently print to order, will host on cults3d for a small fee soon.

Where did you get the 105 degree retract? Thanks for the updates.

On Amazon.

[TBolt]

no longer on Amazon either :(

With Horizon being the primary supplier and it being listed as discontinued, I didnt hold much hope to find one. Wish there was enough interest to restock those but I dont think one plane will support that.
That's why I opted for a still supplied option.
Will like to see the install with strut to see how the 105 degrees works out.

Here's a link to someone who says they have them: http://stores.aeromicro.com/e-flite-...-retract-unit/

I just received some goodies,....now to re-start the assembly while waiting for the right replacement wing from MRC. By the way i have to say that on all my years in this hobby (30) this company has an exceptional post sale support, they solved in a fast way every situation or question that i had.
MRC...Keep the good work !!!

One thing that i like to point is that the T45 struts on the picture feels very soft for a Balsa plane like this, maybe i'm wrong.....i will test it and then we will see. Also i'm thinking on how am i going g to attach the lights i bought to the landing struts.? 🤔

[Kangi1954]

The full size aircraft has the landing light in the nose of the fuselage.

Thank you very much, i intend to go a little further and put some lights in the mains too !!

[wrangler1]

I tried the T-45 struts but i feel they are to soft for this plane, the same happens to the Yak30 nose gear, so i decided to go with the ines that comes with the plane, they are very sturdy, but now i found a situation were the nose strut shaft is a little wider than the hole on the Eflite 105 degree nose retract. So i think i will need to wide that hole with my dremel.

[wrangler1]

The mains fit perfectly with the EFLITE retracts !!!

[wrangler1]

I just expand the hole on the EFLITE nose Retract with a 5mm bit and now the strut fit perfectly.

Finish with the gears assembly.

wrangler1, thanks for the update.
would the 90 degree nose reract work with the provided nose gear?

I assumes it will, the thing is that the nose retract needs to have a 5mm hole for the shaft, but since i dont have a 90 degrees nose retract, mine is a 105. i need to see how hide the nose wheel gets.

[Nottoday]

I have 90 degree and rear 2mm underlaid.

The specs on Horizon for the 90 degree nose gear don't list strut diameter, however, the specs for the discontinued 60-120 90 degree tricycle package says 4mm nose strut amd 5mm main struts. So we'll probably have to drill out the nose gear hole.

That's what i did yesterday !! 😉

Has anyone flown there Profly Bronco? Need some video footage, and feedback.

[walkerm45]

Has anyone come up with some alternatives to the questionable front nose gear, and steering mechanism, or are we all waiting for Motions retracts, and answers......
