Those main gear doors look great great flight.
was hoping to run 14” props so think need 550kv motors on 6s but had to replace a AC unit so I am on hold till closer to Christmas 😕

still keeping my plan in works

Don’t know if anyone has tried the gun barrel file, i finally did and the barrel breaks pretty easily, I am reworking and will post new file when available.
gambler71 wish I could help, but not flying spectrum much anymore.

Tim,

Do you still have the barrel stl file? i am looking for a decent gun barrel for my large Hangar 9 OV 10 D

Thanks,

Didier

[Tim Anderson]

will resize for you and repost in next day or so, glad to help!

[didier n]

Ohw, that's great ! thank you very much!

The Hangar 9 is about 1/4.3 scale, guns will be around 115 mm length i guess, and 18 mm total height if that's a good indication for you

I've got these measurements from Maschinengewehrläufe in Tragflächen, Bronco (scale-print.de)

They look nice, but are not correct, specially the nozzles are wrong.. Yours were way better...

I'm bit reluctant in spending quite some money on them if they are not what they should be...


thanks again!

[Tim Anderson]

Hope this helps, lost my nexa bronco this summer to a bad esc, total loss, congratulations on the hangar 9, much better design. Let me know if this works for you.

[didier n]

that's sad to hear, you'll make another one ? they fly great, that's why i bought the Hangar 9 one as well.

It looks great !! i will now search someone with a resin printer, because sanding on such a part is out of the question i guess

In the meantime there is some interest on Rc groups for these guns as well, do you mind if i share this information with them?


thanks again, will let you know when i have results!


regards,

Didier

I hated to loose it , but don’t think I would build another , it flew nicely but was a pain in the butt to transport, awkward shape with wing panel on the booms and the center section with the winglets , I would prefer a design where the center and both booms stayed together, with outer wing panels removable, that way you could leave on the gear, the hangar9 is beautiful and a better design but have been on back order for ages now … and a significant investment, oh well so it goes. feel free to share the files with anyone who needs them!

[didier n]

I get your point, i have to take it apart each time i go flying, it now takes me about 15 minutes to assemble, i think it's worth it if i can get at least 3 flights...

The large hangar 9 is indeed a better design, but i don't have the means to transport it when it's assembled minus the outside wing parts, it's just too big..So i'm aware i'll be assembling at the field again, at least for 15 minutes... i'll take it..

thanks for the file, will report back later...

Tim,

I finally got the 3D printed guns, they look superb ! Thanks again!

Some photo's of how they will fit in the OV 10 D

Didier
thanks for posting, super pleased with your results! Glad to help

[sam51401]

Where can i request a set of those awesome M60 prints for mine(Nexa)!!!! Didier, is that the Nexa or H9 nacelles?

[didier n]

Sam,

Those are the Hangar 9 nacelles wich i modified to look scale, you can find the files for the guns in post #965, Tim made them... If you need someone to print them, you will have to search locally, and do it with a resin printer for best results

Hope this helps,

Didier

[TBolt]

very nice touch.

Still enjoying my ProFly/Nexa OV-10 Dual 5s 5200mAh Parallel set up ...getting more comfortable with it each year

[thadallen1977@gmail.com]

Has anyone found some better landing gear for the ov10 bronco 1800 mm. I have both broncos and the smaller version suspension is better than he 1800mm. If anyone has tried different gear other than the xwave please let me know

[usmc7202]

I am looking to purchase this kit but want to use a 6S system vice the 4S. I am new to the electric side so wondering if the recommended bundle on the Motion RC page will support a 6S system.

[sam51401]

Well its been 5 yrs in the making and finally much closer to a maiden now. Been putting more than usual details on this but that white top just screamed for panel lines and nomenclature. More to come as i do some final touches and add a few more items.

[sam51401]

Hey usmc7202, Im running a 6s setup and i have posted my setup somewhere in here.

[rman1sr]

The love the model. The only thing I would say is that Military aircraft do not shine. Just wish it had a dull finish. To represent authentic appearance

[sam51401]

I have finally, long time coming, got to a maiden ready plane. Ill post some pics and try to get a video if anyone is at the field over the next several days.
