Hmmmm,

5 days without a post. Is the interest in Waco's on the wane? Is it time to close down the thread? You guys tell me. We are getting fewer and fewer posts.

Bill,
We're still building, just not quite as fast as we would like. I agree with the others, I would hate to see the thread close down.

Hey Bill - we're either building or on the computer - can't do both!!

I'm working on the Waco ARE and I can't get a real good pix of the tail wheel, but I think it is the same as on the YMF!! John, is this the case?? I could go with a simple spring set up as shown on the plans and in previous posts, but as I haven't started the fuse yet I could plan for something else. With the G62 up front I don't think tail weight will be a problem! Still haven't got the Grimes light mechanism to work! It isn't as easy as it looks. Will have to have it figured out before I start the wing as I'm sheeting it per the full scale. Trouble is the glass lamp socket is tapered and hard to grip. Oh well - we'll get it!!

I want to add my voice here to keep this forum going. It offers a wealth of information not only to the old pros as well as the new guys to the hobby.
I was going to post pictures of the forward cockpit area of mu UMF, but found out it did not match the aft cockpit time period, so it was back to the drawing board. Iam hoping it should be done shortly time permitting. When it gets done I will post pictures.

I would hate to see this thread ended. I follow every post on this thread and have learned an awful lot. I have two Pica Waco kits, a 1/5 and a 1/6 scale, which I plan on building after practicing on a couple of other kits (I have a lot to learn about building and want to make my mistakes on something other than the Wacos). I am hoping that this thread will still be active to be used as a reference and support when I do my builds.

Thanks,

Chris

Bill,

All right, you woke some of us up with that…Shut it down [>:] ? Heck NO

! I am still waiting on the chance to buy that T-shirt

. I too, check in on this thread everyday. I have not been able to post here much because the stuff I have been working on only resembles a WACO in the since that they fly. Eventually I will start working on a WACO and you will be wondering how to shut me up

.

How’s the new shop coming by the way?

Howdy to all,

I have subscribed to this thread for some months a lurker

. The reason is that I've been planning and am now just starting a build of the 1/4 scale Barth WACO YMF-5. There is so much good data here and this is such a good source that I would hate if it were to be blown up. I'm literally starting construction in the next several days (throat surgery on Wednesday will slow me down for a day...). I will power this bird with the Saito 325RD 5-cyl glow radial, running onboard glow. (I know that it won't go vertical forever with that power, but I have an Extra 260 and several assorted Yaks for that exercise).

If any are interested, I will undertake to photograph this build and (if I can figure out just how...) post the pics with some commentary

. If we can keep it open for biz for another week, there will be new content.

I'm also interested in becoming a brother (that would be a WACO brother, in this context).

The user name tag says "Cursor", which was my first kitted F3A design. The real handle is Rick Allison, and I probably should change my user name to that as, unfortunately, I have nothing to hide. I'm an ancient (retired from competition) Pattern guy, now puttering with scale and sitting on my butt at fly-ins with the rest of the relics.

Let me know if I'm accepted as a brother, and also let me know if you guys want one more redundant WACO build thread (hey, it'll keep the dang forum alive while y'all criticize my every move and glue joint!)

If my application is rejected, please advise the size of bribe that will result in acceptance, and WACO Joe, as far as that veteran thing goes, you are certainly most welcome. I figure wearing that uniform was the last time I was a snappy dresser.

Bill you wake up on the wrong side of Florida

I visit just about every day, I removed my subscription due to the flooding of e-mails on busy days. Nice feature they have added so you can see how many subscriptions you have and by who. 110 people subscribed is a good fair ammount.
Later!!

Hey Rick..........I don't think you've been doing too much "sitting on your butt". I see in the latest copy of Model Aviation your "finely crafted Eindecker" won best WWI aircraft in the Bell Air R/C clubs 4th annual War Birds event.

Also it's good to have another Barth 1/4 scaler I can comiserate with. This past weekend I finished framing up the last wing panel, which means I now have the "bones" of all the components assembled. I just couldn't resist the tempation to tape them all together just to see if they did indeed resemble some sort of an airplane. It's a good stopping point for me as we will be heading to Venice, FL for the winter. The WACO will be waiting for me in the spring, with many more hours of work to be done on it.

Even though this is considered a Pica WACO thread, the information and help I've received on my Barth kit goes well betond description. I would be lost if it were to go away. It's my main place for information and help. John H., Anthony, Jim, and many others have provided a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Bill, you've had many great ideas throughout this thread, but you kind of shanked one with this shutting down the thread idea. Just tee up another one , take a mulligan, and lets move on.

Here's all my Barth WACO "bones"together. I know it's pretty crude looking right now, but it looks beautiful to me.

Hi Mike,

That "crude" WACO looks pretty darn nice to me. Wanna trade for a box of (finely organized) Barth WACO parts? You could go back and fix all the little stuff!

No?

Ah well. I may have to actually glue mine together...

We're all still here, Bill. I've been a little nuts at work and have had one other project too, but I try never to miss the Waco build thread. Sometimes when it wanders a little onto things like super-cubs and stuff I get quiet, but I still drop in and read.

My other project is not too far off from a Waco. While I wait for that 27% ARE(?) to be released next year or sometime after, I'm putting a Pacific Aeromodels Clipped-Wing Monocoupe together with one of those Syssa 30CC engines. I've been trying to decide on what plane to pair up with the engine,and other details. Obviously, Golden Age is still in my blood, so never fear, I'm always somewhere around here!

When you get to the Wildwood Florida exit jump off and call me. I'm in Leesburg (on US 27/441), and it's only about 10 miles away from that exit. This is the exit just before the Turnpike exit.
