Default RE: WACO Custom Cabin project

Thanks for the heads up! I'll check in soon. Terry, the ZVN is a rare bird indeed. I have seen three pictures of different planes, none in person. Wonder how many of 'em were built?

The three view is finished. I'm 80% sure that it's 90% right. How's that for a Yogi Berra-ism? If anyone sees inconsistency in it, let me know so it can be fixed.

I'm toying with the idea of going with air actuated flaps and landing lights. The flaps are vacuum controlled on the originals and the landing lights extend from the underside of the main wing. The only concern is weight. The air system will add close to 6 oz. to the finish weight, pushing it over the 7 pound target. We're looking at roughly 650 square inches of lifting surface so this may or may not be a problem? Want to keep the model airspeed as close to scale as possible.
