What kind of WACO is that?
I don't know anything about radio engines. I don't plan to buy one because I'm only a 9 month Janitor for a school. I kinda stay on the bottom end of the glow powered planes.
I am just a simple carpenter Greg. Just have expensive tastes lol.
The Waco is a Phoenix Models 90 series ARF I bought used. I just ran the first full gallon of 32:1 oil through the UMS 125. Ready to put the flying fuel in it and give it a try I am beefing up the wing supporting for this motor. Seems awfully powerful for this ARF Stay with glow or gas Greg. Electric has no soul... Lol
