Luk Luk seems to like it too.

Interested to hear the weight you're able to build these Wacos at after paint
Is it unrealistic to be thinking 14Lbs or less with a 3Lb radial

Mine normally come in at about 15 pounds and change with the OS 160 twin. It depends on how much scale detail you want to add. I suppose that you could cut a little weight out, but since I do have to modify the nose area to accomodate the radial mounting of a large engine, I feel that that mod will negate any minor weight savings that you can find elsewhere. A chunk of 3/8 plywood will always add to the weight of any model. Especially when this piece of ply is about 11" in diameter. Even at 16 pounds the wing volume and wing loading is still in a good ratio. Remember this plane has abour 1500 square inches of wing area. It is pretty dirty in the drag department, and you do have to keep a little power in on final. All in all, it;s my favorite plane to build and fly.

By the way, Luk Luk doesn't know he's a dog. He thinks that he's a big ol' hairy kid. (Spoiled Rotten)

I remember flying the 1/6th Dave Platt YMF, little bit of power on final as well

This was my first YMF, it was the scarf that got me hooked

It's also great to be able to tell someone about your triumphs be they ever so minor. Once my wife used the ultimate put down, "Why, wasn't it supposed to do that?".

Keep up the good work, we're all dying to see it. I particularly want to see the cowl with those confounded lumps for the rocker gear.
