,dan, your bird is developing nicely, since i started my rebuild my progress is about at the same pace, looks great, talk to you soon.
For the rest of the trend, i need a little help. I'm building the 1/4 scale bird and plan to use a saito 325-r5 but not the gold head version. This one is from a 1980's run of engines and its power as i remember is not the same as todays run of engines. Might by chance would anyone have the ols specs. Or remember its rating.
Thanks for any help horizon hobbies can't help or provide service --its too old don't carry parts--
regards,
chris melhus ceije 196

Thread Starter
With a thread the size of this one, and a membership as large as ours, there are some who have not posted for several years. Some have passed on, some have lost interest in the hobby, and some have moved on to other models.

Just a heads up.....
If anyone is looking to 'acquire' a really nice Jim Pepino Scale Waco I'm parting with mine (still have the larger AMR Waco ;-) )...

I can use two shirts-XXL. Have been out of state a couple months. Will return home by early April if you can wait until then for payment.
Thanks,

I have a Platt 1/6scale YMF (box says Hancock Models), so it goes way, way back to 1973 or so. It has been ready for paint for many years. At one time I thought I had the hang of painting, but several failures have left me very wary. And I am not a confident fabric person, either. It is covered with Koverall, filled with Knox gelatin and has a few coats of nitrate dope on it.
Someday.....
I have been a WACO fan since getting to know a full scale aviator in the early 70's. I have some photos of the planes that participated in the 2002 (?) Nation Air Tour.
