By Niki Britton| Aopa Pilot Verified Aside from the gentle hum of the electrical system, it’s quiet in the cockpit of this OV–10 Bronco. A member of the ground crew, Isaiah Sanchez, stands on the apron before us and raises his hands in a practiced gesture. In an instant, the left 1,040-horsepower Garrett turboprop engine roars to life. From my vantage point in the back seat, I watch Sanchez complete the same dance on my right; both engines now humming a symphony of warbird fanfare.
By Niki Britton| Aopa Pilot Verified So, what is there to do that Cessna didn’t already get right in the late 1950s? We look to the now! The Continental O-470 is already a fantastic powerplant, but by adding just a couple of upgrades, we can give this Skylane a small power bump, better fuel efficiency, and a beefier sound. Hopefully these improvements have given you, the reader and hopeful AOPA Sweepstakes winner, an idea of where this is headed.
