Hi Bill Im planing to fly my repaired waco with a st 75 in your opinion is it enough for this airplane.I just painted it with a old Ford cream color and folker red with the scallop detail,what a maskers nightmare but it turned out real sharp.Everybody thats seen it really loves the color combo,even my wife the ultimate acid test Thanx Chris
Your ST 75 is more than enough to fly this plane well. I maidened this plane for a friend about 20 years ago. It had a 60 in it, plenty of go. The most "interesting" part of flying this one is getting it back on the ground. It wants to float and float. Be sure your engine idle is good and low and your prop a shallow pitch. It is truly a classic plane, I wish I had one, now.
Why don't you build one?
