Thanks for the info. It's taken me 5 months to build the Waco. It's been the most challenging plane I've built and it's by far the most beautiful. I love the "Golden Era" planes and this one is a classic. There was a point where I was ready to put it on hold because it was getting too frustrating to work on but a friend convinced me to finish it and I'm real happy I did. I E-mailed Pika many times with questions about the building and Jon was very helpful. Their customer support is great and I wouldn't hesitate to build another Pika kit
