This is a 1/5 scale, 96" wingpsan OV-10D, kit and plans from Precision Cut Kits. The build started June 10th, so this is two months in to production.
Struts are from Shindin Machine, Robart 635 Series Retracts (I need Robart to get the 110 degree nose retract still), 5" main wheels, 4.5" nose wheel.
The plans call for 15 servos, I will have 16 as I will split main flaps from 1 to 2 servos.
Powerplants will be two Saito FA115's; the plans call for 91's so the 115s will be more than enough - you can always throttle down...lol!
Fiberglass is coming from Stans Fibertech, graphics being done by CalGrfx.
For now it is sand, fill, sand, fiberglass, sand, prime, sand, prime and sand.
I will update as this project makes progress.
