Last year my Dad helped me make a video of me and him flying the Great Planes WACO BiPlane. We didn't have the camera setup good enough to capture any stunts.


I've been flying this beautiful plane every summer since we put it together in 2017! Never had a bad crash with it. But, this year, I had some engine trouble. The engine quit in a bad spot in the sky. I was able to glide the model in for a landing, but the landing was too hot. I got the model down to touch the wheels, but it wasn't enough to slow it down enough before it hit the soft grass at the end of the runway. It flipped so hard that it broke the propeller and cracked the cowling, and broke wooden cowling mount.

For about 4 weeks or so, Dad and I have been trying to fix the cowling mount. We think we got it good enough to fly it again!

Here is my problem. Great Planes doesn't make this model anymore. That means I can't buy parts for it anymore.

My reason for writing this post is, I'm looking for another ARF BiPlane to replace this one. It doesn't need to be the same model of course. I'm looking for recommendations.

I will continue to fly this plane, even it I haft to fly without the cowling. But I think it would be a good idea to get another Biplane so that I can build me a new one.

If you would like to hear me describe what happened then I also made these videos too.
