Sad news about Bill, He and I had lots of time together at TopGun. My condolences to Janelle and the rest of the family. Casey or Dan, if you read this please say to Janelle that Mitch from Mass is thinking of her. Mitch WB100

Have not had much time for building, (at one point this summer 3 days off in 7 weeks), but getting everything ready to assemble when able.That includes the OS Gemini 160 built up from 2 damaged/wrecked examoles. Had to do a bit of modding to the carb as idle would stay exceedingly rich, although stay running. Doubled the air bleed size and now reliable down to 2000-2100RPM. Can go lower if heat remains so have not decided if onboard glow will be installed. Will likely determine that once see how airframe reacts on idle.
Engine is surprisingly quiet, but exhaust may also be modded for mufflers. Waiting for an adapter to see if it makes any difference.

Hi guys,
I can cross out one item off my bucket list : I finally flew in a Waco ! It was a little beat up, but flew very well.
Cheers,
Waco brotherhood #55

Yes Dan, it was great. I never flew in a open cockpit before, and since I am scared of heights in tall buildings (but not planes) I was a bit concerned. Luckily it wasn't a problem at all, even in 2 1/2 Gs and heavy banking turns. I guess in a plane it's different

Hi guys. I am contemplating a long term building project of a 1/4 scale Waco YMF5. Has anybody had any experience of the Hostetler plan. I am interested in this particular model as a local kit cutter does a laser cut short kit which should help speed things up.
Also would the Saito 60cc radial or 90cc redial be the preferred engine. The 90cc doesnt cost that much more considering its 50 larger capacity. Also the plan calls for 60-80cc.
Thanks in advance

Time to mount the top wing on my Pica 1/5th scale. searching the thread didn't help and I cant figure out how to use the index on page one. one thing, my cabanes are too short. the inter wing jig doesn't fit between the wings. also was hoping for an alternative to using the electrical lugs, unless that's a good way to do it. if anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Thanks Dan. I did a search and saw how stickbuilder was going to do an adjustable setup on his cabanes. looked intriguing. anyone know how it turned out?

Unfortunately Bill was unable to finish his Waco. It was passed on to his grandson Casey hopefully he will keep us posted when he get to work on it.
