I sent one of the decal sheets from the kit to them.  When I ordered my graphics I told Cal-Grafx  there would probably be strong demand for graphics for this model.  When I received my graphics, I sent them a message advising that I would advertise their product on this forum.  I expect that if you e-mail them and ask about a set of decals for the PICA 1/5 scale WACO YMF-3, they will be able to quote a price from the files they created for mine.

Good luck,

Jim

I was going to go for the four servo route, but hiding the servo wires to the top wing successfully presented a bit of a problem. So, two servos and counter weights is the route I chose.
The plane was designed that way by Peter Barth.

Thanks guys for all your input.

Regards

Status: offline 		Errol, yes we did talk about the counter weights a while back but I went to the four servo system. I found that the paino hinges even with a lot of work still tend to be a little stiff for just two servos. Yes, there are those that will say it is over kill for a 1/4 scale bird. Building is always a learning platform...

Tmac, thanks..

Status: offline 		Mitch, Dan had suggested the same proceedure and had shown me his. I did try this but the wire would only budge about 1 1/2 in. Before it would break off, I don't see any reason to cut up the rest of the hinge. I did soak the hinge in W-D 40 and with a little back and forth flexing it is very close to the results of changing the wire.

I'm confused. Did you not get Kavan pinned hinges for your ailerons with your kit. Why are you using piano hinges?

Status: offline 		Tmac, the piano hinge I'm using is Brass colored metal with a metal rod. I haven't been abler to find aluminum hinge here.

Errol, yes I did receive those hinges in the kit. But in building scale the full size plan uses piano hinge and i' duplicating it for scale, most all in their build have changed to piano hinge.

Jim,

What scale was the plane mentioned in your post on Cal-Grafx?  What did they charge you for yours, if you don't mind my asking?

And do you have the URL for their web site, assuming they have one?

Thanks,

Status: offline 		Brothers, Are any of you still experiencing the problem of opening your email link to the waco ymf forum? I'm still having to go completely around to get here. I have filed a trouble ticket, but still no help. If anyone else is still having this problem we need to fill out more trouble tickets so this issue can be resolved. Problem has been here for more than 3 weeks now. I'm not very computer savy so if someone else can explain the problem to rcu maybe it will get resolved faster. I know its not my computers. Its happenong on both of them. Thanks, George

Thanks, Anthony,

It's a BVM F-86. It's the 60" size before he went to the ARF or giant  scale version.  As of now it's still a hanger queen.  I love the plane and put a lot of time into  building  it.  I have another kit on the shelf I intend to build one day, maybe after I finish my WACO.  As of now, the place we used to fly our duicted fans at is off limits for awhile.

Jim.

Thanks for the info,. I assume that you got the vinyl single color graphics. Were they able to do the pinstripes that are on all WACO markings ?

Welcome aboard,
I built a Pepino Waco several years back and it turned out to be a beautiful plane. I never flew it and donated it to the Waco Museum in Troy Oh. I commend you for taking on the build. If you can build that plane you can build anything. Post some pics when you can.
Later!!
Anthony
