RE: SA waco 30 size
I bought one a few months ago along with the recomended magnum .30 four stroke. I have not got to fly it as yet but I have a few observations that you might want to read. First off let me say that this plane is for sale right now for 89 dollars!!! ( same price as alot of foam bipes). With that said I think the overall quality is about a 6 (1-10 scale). The fiberglass cowl glasswork on mine is good, but the color doesn't match the fuzz, a shade off ( rating 6). The covering is good and tight and I only had a few small wrinkles (rating 7). The hardware that you get surprised me a bit and I ended up using alot of it. ( rating 7) . The plane's wings seem to be sturdy and I feel I won't have any problems (rating 7) but the fuselage has me worried. The stringers used on the fuzz are too small I feel. I have already had to repair one that broke while I was assembling the plane ( rating 3). I am going to try adding some wood and then spraying expanding foam in the fuzz. The plane does look great & I have had a few compliments and I feel I can improve upon this plane to make it a nice addition to my fleet. I think for the price I can't go wrong and I might just buy another at this price, remove the covering and bash it a little and recover. just my 2 cents.
