kochj,

Your method is all well and good for an Ultimate, but is not scale on a Waco (there are no parts hanging out of the trailing edge on a Waco). What Stickbuilder and I have recommended is the Scale way of doing it on a Waco. I believe that most of the guys who opt to put the aileron connecting rods on want to enhance the scale looks of the Waco. It just does not look right without them.

Retro fitting the scale fitting is a fairly simple affair by mounting the brackets on the aileron and fitting the connection rod. Your method seems to require some surgery on the plane.

The Ultimate is a much higher performance single seat plane, derived from the Pitts and is capable of manuvers not done in a Waco when both are flown in a scale manner. The Ultimate was designed as an acrobatic plane for air shows and such . The Waco was designed as a 3 passenger plane mostly for point A to B flying or just flying around the local area. Some were converted to crop dusters and some even did some barnstorming aerobatics but cannot do what the Ultimate does. That they are both bi-planes is about all they have in common, like apples and oranges, they both grow on trees.
