RE: GP Waco?
I have both aircraft, the Super Stearman and the WACO YMF and yes they are very much the same. I have the Saito 170R3 in the Stearman and the 200R3 in the WACO. I have never flown both on the same day because they won’t both fit in the back of my car at the same time. That being said the only difference I notice is the aileron response is sharper on the WACO but when I rebuild the WACO it will be using the connected ailerons just like the Full Scale and the Stearman.
I think Great Planes did say the DLE 30 was one of the recommended engines. The Stearman only recommends the 120 class engines but that may be because it is an older kit. Both mine came in at 14.5 pounds.
