Default RE: WACO YMF

I added flying wires and tail braces to my GP WACO this weekend. I used a couple of sizes of brass tubing to make the the tail brace fittings which were shaped and soldered together along with 2-56 hardware to mount them. The flying wires are a couple of 2-56 pull-pull cable DU-BRO sets mounted to the fuselage and center section cabanes. The adjustable clevises mount to brackets on the top and bottom wing panels for easy removal and field assembly. I plan to add the "javelin" brace as well. It was fun as I'd been thinking about how to add the details and finally had a chance to try it out. Next will be the dummy radial engine and it will be ready for the Owls Head Museum Model Festival in March.
