I have the GP Waco ARF on order, along with all the stuff to build it with and an OS FS120 pumper 4 stroke. Sure looking forward to getting her into the air. Should sound good with that engine I think. Sufficient power for this aircraft?

I may be wrong, but I think DAN needs the orders in the form of a PM so that they will be saved in one spot. Otherwise he has to go reading through pages of stuff trying to make a list.

I understand. But I do not know how to send a PM. Where do I find out, please?

Well have been trying to read through all the posts on the Waco and nearly done (except you guys keep adding). Just about finished my Citabria Pro and I can start on this project. First thing I will have to do is redo the front of the fuselage as that is partially done.

Hi Marko, good to see that there are other "Pro" admirers out there. It is truly a unique looking plane and only one ever being built it is kind of obscure. I would love to share some photos. I will try to get some photos of it today and post them.

Herb,

Since this is the WACO thread, we may want to continue this discussion on the Citabria Pro thread. Here is the link:

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/kit-...008-build.html

I am sure Rick would not mind some more C Pro discussion on there. It has been a little quiet, so some new content would be welcomed.

Sorry to hijack the WACO thread......so to keep with the program.....The shirts look great and looking forward to getting one soon! Great work Dan!!!

what a great idea I'm assuming that the sides are cut from plywood. Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi... new owner of a Great Planes WACO ARF here. I am wondering, how do you folks transport these planes? I assume you take the two wings off as a unit and carry the wings and fuse separately.

How do you protect them in transport (by this I mean carrying them in the back of an SUV for relatively short (30 mile or so) distances)? Wrap a shipping blanket around each of the two pieces?

Tee Shirt Update:

Hello all,
I just got off the phone with the printers (customink.com) and got an update on prices. There was an up charge I was not aware of until now seems the larger the shirt is the more it costs. Here is the current pricing.

The base price is $17.01 this will be anything from small to large.
The shipping charge will be $4.00.
2X shirts will have a $2.00 up charge per shirt.

3X shirts will have a $3.50 up charge per shirt.

4X shirts will have a $4.50 up charge per shirt.

All prices are based on an order of 66 shirts that we already have if this number drops the base price could go up. I will start sending PM out and collecting money the plan is to place the order as soon as all payments are made.

So this is what I am starting with its a 1/5 scale Pica that someone had already started the fuse on. I picked it up at a club swap meet. Have been sorting through what needs to be fixed/redone while finishing the Citabria Pro.

Be sure to check out mrhud's build manual, etc., if you haven't already.
