Hi Doug,
Nice looking WACO you have there. The 1/3 scale planes are very impressive in the air. Looks like you have a nice Lysander in the background as well. You have good taste in planes.
Later!!
Anthony

Bill,
I’ll do my best keeping the thread running, you set it up were it almost runs itself. Florida Jets is just around the corner I will be there Wednesday and Friday hope to see you there if not Top Gun for sure.

Tee shirts,
I will call Custom Ink and see how the shirts will be made up hopefully they will be printed like the first shirts were. I will also see if I can get one shirt made for inspection before placing the final order. I will post a list of names as they come in so you know I have you on it. Please make sure you PM me with your order I can keep track better that way. I think these shirts are going to look great get your name on the list as soon as you can maybe we can be wearing them very soon.

I'm going to see if I can post the list of all the members now cross your fingers.

Hello. I am new on the forum. I have a full size YMF that I restored. I guess you could call it full size modeling. Mr Hurds model is the same scheme as my airplane. I want a shirt. How do I get one? Regards to all. Barry

Way cool. If possible, post a few picks of your airplane. And yes, if you did a restoration your certainly doing what we do, but in full scale. Dis you restore one of the new YMF 5's or a vintage waco? Tell us a bit about that.

My YMF was the last YMF built by Waco in 1935. It survived the war and was flying again in 1955. Then it was in a hangar fire in Riverside CA. I found the owner in 1995 and he still had some pieces. I was able to get all of the drawings I needed through the Smithstonian collection. I was able to locate many parts that were common to other Waco models like the tail feathers, landing gear, and other small parts. The restoration took 7 years and I farmed out some critical parts like the fuselage welding and wings. The airplane flys very nicely and I have been acres the country east and west and north and south. Top speed 148mph.

BFBranin, welcome to the Brotherhood and Congrats. your Waco is the ultimate of all models. I guess your next step would be to build yourself a model of your full size bird.

Anthony,

Thanks for the kind words about my WACO, and yes, that is a Westland Lysander in the background of one of the photos. It has a 105 inch wing span and a G62 for power. I've been flying it for two years but I'm taking it to the Perry, GA swap meet next week to sell. Like most of us in this hobby, I need to thin out the hangar.

I am sure it will find a nice home.
I am currently building a Hostetler 25% Stinson Reliant SR-10, looks like we have the same taste in planes. I am going to try the EME 70cc twin with electric start.
