RE: COX Pica WACO 1/6 scale

Dick,

I read the entire report in RCR this past week. I still think that it's a good bargain for the guy who wants a WACO without having to go through all the contortions required to build one....

RE: COX Pica WACO 1/6 scale

If any of you would like to order the WACO Brotherhood T-Shirts, have a look on the Vintage and Antique site on the WACO YMF thread. Damifino is taking orders. These are gorgeous shirts.

RE: COX Pica WACO 1/6 scale

Dick,

Have a look in the Vintage and Antique forum with the WACO YMF heading, and you can see how I set the Horizontal Stab up with vairiable incidence. It works wxtremely well. I have had the...

RE: COX Pica WACO 1/6 scale

Au Contraire mon Enfant....:D This model is actually a UMF with the cowl for the Continental 7 cylinder radial engine, and as such, the #1 clyinder is at bottom dead center, unlike the YMF with the...

RE: COX Pica WACO 1/6 scale

Manfred,

I started not to make that remark, fearing it would be read as being hyper-critical. Sorry if you took it that way. The point that I was trying (poorly) to make was the statement...

RE: COX Pica WACO 1/6 scale

Manfred,

Not trying to pick nits here, but what does the LeRhone engine have to do with the WACO, and the LeRhone was a Rotary engine, and not a radial. The WACO with the cowl that is supplied...

RE: COX Pica WACO 1/6 scale

Dick,

You won't be sorry that you did. You don't really need to add all that much in the way of bracing, just make it so it will catch the surface before it can move. That is all the strength...

RE: COX Pica WACO 1/6 scale

Longevity. The H-stab on the WACO is fairly weak and may depart without the bracing. If nothing else, maybe thread some kevlar string through the H-stab, v-stab and the bottom of the plane, and...

RE: COX Pica WACO 1/6 scale

Dick,

This model really does need tail bracing. Take it from someone who knows. I know that Gordon wants you to not make any modifications to the model, but I think that you need it here.

RE: COX Pica WACO 1/6 scale

Dick,

Looks like COX missed on this one too. It's not a YMF, it's a UMF. The cowl on this one is for the Continental engine just like the 1/5th scale job. Probably doesn't make any difference...

RE: COX Pica WACO 1/6 scale

Ken,

I don't think that you are going to get this (or any) Biplane to really fly faster. There is just too much parasitic drag involved. You may find that a little more throttle is required on...

RE: COX Pica WACO 1/6 scale

Ken, Dick and all,

Ken brought up the question of the difference in framing between the ARF that Cox is offering, and the traditional kit. The ARF is framed for speed of construction, and I...
