Oh Rack[X(]....I envy you. I had the 33% kit, but never built it. I sold it to a friend of mine, and he has been flying it for a couple of years now. It is one terrific flyer, and the Waco is a beautiful aircraft. I'd love to have the 40%'er. Good luck.

That's an awesome looking bird, would love to see one that big in person. I'm not trying to be critical, but if you ever have to work on that rudder linkage or replace the servo, how will you get to it? Will the fiberglass tail fairing come off very easily?

I started to ask if you were going to have in flight adjustable incidence on the Horizontal Stab, but I see you made it solid.
