Status: online 		I'd love to see how it would balance and fly if you just bolted on a 25cc converted weedie motor. I have one on a 60-90 sized ugly stick with around 1000 sq inchs of wing I think...and it is very manageable with no bad habits. I think the weedie motor would solve that two pounds of lead problem. I keep thinking of building something similar to your plane, maybe down the line ..SO MANY PROJECTS !!!

Status: offline 		FINALLY....

After the 3rd rebuild, the Waco flew today in a glorious sun-shiny and cloudless sky.

I re-installed the SK80, removed the cowling to check a bawlky glow plug and ended up leaving it off entirely.

I posted a long and winded explanation previously so let's cut to the chase:

Status: offline 		I've been flying the h*ll out of my Waco and the bent, rebent and rebent again aluminum landing gear finally gave up the ghost this morning.

This past week, I spread the wheels on the gentlest of landings so I rigged up a shock system of sorts. See the photos. This was on the 1/8"x1" aluminum stock that I had installed 2 years back.

When I removed the gear this morning after flying, I discoverd that the aluminum had actually ripped around the drill hole, leaving a 1/4" crack.

No more.

I went to Ace Hardware and bought a length of 1/4"x1" and went to work. I liked the way the springs looked so I brought them over onto the new gear but I doubt they'll be needed.

CG impact? See the photos...dead on.

Flying her again in the morning...

I do love my Wacky Waco
