FWIW, the 1/5 scale PICA YMF plans are available on-line at http://www.outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=3269 and includes templates for all the formers and ribs. If you don't mind cutting your own parts, it should be easy to blow up to 1/4 scale.

OK guys, Huston we have a problem, 1/5th scale Waco, Top wing
Instructions read to install the (w13) preshaped trailing edge from rib w5 thru rib w8,what I don't understand is,(and I can't find it on plan)
does the w13 preshaped trailing edge glue on flush to the top of the ribs or just have it sit in place and it would be low like 3/32" from the top of the rib.
Thanks in advance,
George

W13 should match the ribs top and bottom.
Since it's a flat bottom wing, I would glue to match the bottom of the ribs ribs and then sand the top of the ribs and top of the trailing edge to match to match the top of the rib contour.

Ho, Ho, Ho! Now that is one comfortable "Man Cave".
I see he has the planes set aside and a beer holding position of reverence on the table.
Not sure I agree with that......At least it looks like he has a P-47 sitting in the back corner. But no WACO?
Happy Holidays Just waiting for the caffeine to kick in here.
ps. Even noticed the JRPROPO on the door. Gotta love it.
