Ok,

So I have been looking at the Bronco threads and have done some scaling and crunched some numbers and have come up with the following -

A 3/4 scale Bronco seems to work fairly well.

Stats -

Empty weight - 3000 lbs
MTOW - 4500 lbs
Wing Loading - 27 lbs sqft
Max Speed - 208 kts
Cruise 65% - 170 kts
Stall Clean - 76 kts

Power - 550 hp

Airframe - 2500 lbs
Engines - 1000

Horizontal is about right, verticals about twice what is needed, according to my calcs.
Anyway, thats it for now.:)
