Hello Shaked,
Your Waco looks INCREDIBLE ! ! ! ! ! I like the hatches you made for access to the electronics and the fuel dots.
I'm actually kind of glad there wasn't any Waco flying in your video. I just watched one new 1/3 scale Waco flying video in Anthony's (Waconut) thread and I don't think my heart could take another one so soon.....................LOL.
I'll patiently wait to see your maiden video.
Take care,
David

Shaked,
She looks really nice in the air. It looks like it wanted to porpoise a bit and I notice there is quite a bit of down trim in the elevator. Do you think it needs more nose weight ?
Later!!

Hi Shaked,
It looks really nice in the air. I plan on adding a smoke system to mine this winter as well.
It is hard to tell how much air pressure you have in the tires? I found that if you put just enough air in that you can still compress the tire almost to the rim by hand that this will help reduce the bounce on landing. If you have the tire aired up to 10-15psi the plane is almost impossible to keep from bouncing.
Enjoy flying your beautiful WACO.

i will know better if the airplane will bounce after the secend fligth. any way i think that if we do not landing perfect, the airplane is Jumps in landing, and we must make an effort to land smoothly, with Proper Speed.
i do not think that low pressure will chang a lot. the pressure i have is 20 psi.

Shaked, What a beautiful paint job and you are a much faster builder than I am.
Both you and Anthony did a fantastic paint job on your Waco's., you both should be proud.
Do what Anthony suggests, lower your tire pressure, this will help with the not so perfect landings.

Very nice Shaked,
I love the onboard video. I have flown in a full scale WACO and I can tell you the sound of that radial in the onboard video sounds very much like the full scale WACO from the cockpit.
One of these days I will put a Moki 250 in mine.
Later!!

Nice video Shaked,
I still think you need to take some of the air pressure out of the tires. It will really smooth out the landings and help reduce the bounce.
