That’s a beautiful Waco you have. Big and beautiful.

When I got home from flying the Waco last I found the bottom wing had cracked where the repairs were made maybe a hard landing maybe?? What ever the case the wings were taken off and new wings will be built. I have started making new patters moving the front spar forward to its proper location. I’m actually looking forward building the new wings.

Just order one from Fibertech and More www.fibertechandmore.com They come with the correct blister spacing for the YMF. All the others will give you a UMF.

Bill,

The link you have does not work. I just tried this one http://www.fibertechnmore.com/store/ and it does work. The Waco cowls and wheel pants for the Pica Waco Kits (1/6th (only UMF) and 1/5th) are at the bottom of the Pica section with the 1/5th UMF and YMF Cowls at the top of page 2.

All,

I have all the ribs cut for the bottom wing except the last two I will cut them when I get the bow tips installed. I’m trying something different this time I trimmed down the ribs 3/32 and will cap strip the top & bottom don’t know why just made cutting the ribs easer I also moved the front spar forward to it’s proper location.

Bill,
I’m a little concerned that I may have weakened the wing by moving the spars forward they are only ¾ back from the front of the rib. I’d like to hear what you think about this before I continue.

http://fibertechnmore.com/store/index.php?cPath=33I tried it and had to Google the store if this doesn't work try Googleing the site. I saw a 1/6 cowl on the site but not a 1/5 If you find one let me know as I could use a fresh one as well

Thanks MRDHUD, I am finishing a 1/3 scale sopwith pup at the moment, I am looking forward to start on this beautiful aircraft.
They not only look good but they fly fantastic.
I believe it is the best all around aircraft, especially when you put a radial in one.

Ron,

Hit the NEXT button at the bottom of the Pica Page. The UMF (P-914U - $ 53.94) and YMF (P-914Y - $ 57.95) Cowls are at the top of page 2.

You will know you are at the correct site if the colors are Black and Red with the name FIBERTECH N MORE in Silver and a listing of Catagories down the left side.
