Cesar,

Are you you considering making the undercariage removable too? I agree on your analysis of the aileron and I like the point about survivability in case of an aileron failure. That seems to be the way to go.


Phil,

No i don't make the landing gear removable because it's not necessary for me to transport, it is also not so easy to build such a construction.

Cesar.

Ran the engine for a while and only had one screw come loose, but this is after chasing a severe RF problem for three weeks that turned out to be the ignition on the G62 going out. I'm just posting the picture to tickle a few of you who are building one right now or are thinking of building one.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Chuck

Also a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Status: offline 		Cesar,

The emblems on the cowl were not painted, they are vinyl decals that I had made in the town I live in. Another person who built the quarter scale Waco was kind enough to send me an AutoCad file of the graphics you see on my plane. I don't want to share the file without his permission, so if you can wait a few days, I will get back to you. I already sent him an email asking if it is ok to share it.

The process of getting the decals made was went very well and is a very common practice. There should be someone in the Netherlands that does that sort of thing.

Status: online 		Gezzzzz............. I can't belive the effort that ChuckI, Redcezar and everyone else who are building this plane. I feel we in the U.S. need to travel to Holland and spy on those Dutchmen builders. They are VERY good. My friend Kris from Rotterdam and Redcezar are just a couple of great builders Kris is a machine when it comes to quality of build, He has helped me every single time I asked for it. Even contacted some parts suppliers in Germany for me to see if he could get them to step up the pace on shipping some parts I needed.
I have to say, The European's have a leg up on the U.S. Hobby shops as they seem to carry many more items of higher quailty than the U.S. stores do. I mean this towards the scale end of the model spectrum.

Redcezar, I'm going to try to get over to Rotterdam this year time and money premitting, I have got to meet Kris in person as I feel he is the brother I somehow never had. We have talked on the phone. But if I get over there I will make sure we meet as well. Maybe even have a beer or twelve.

Steve

Status: online 		Hi, I have built the 33% version of the Barth Waco. I used 1 servo only in the bottom wing on each side to operate the aleirons. I used a HiTec 5955 digital that puts out 333oz @ 6 volts. I have never had a problem with any type of flutter even at full throws and very high speed dives with a very strong pull out on the bottom of the loops. These servos are very reliable and strong. Cost is about $96 U.S. each.
If you have any questions , please let me know and I will try to help.

Steve

For the ailerons i wil use for each a servo, I have done that with all my biplanes and works fine for me.

Today i have worked on the panels on the front off the fuselage, it is a hell off a job to get the different plates fit to each other but oke with a litle filler its oke.

I get started with the landing gear to fit the fairings etc.

Cesar.

Yes I know what you mean, I had the same problem. It was very time consuming for me as well. I don't know how many panels I cut before I got them to fit.
