Stickbuilder & Khodges,
Thanks for your nice replies. Honestly, I can't tell you at this time if SIG will get the Waco into kit form. I can fully appreciate your question as I have been, am and always will be a builder. But for now, I'm very well pleased with our Waco SRE effort and the resulting model. A ARC version of this airplane has been discussed here at SIG but no decision has been made. I think an ARC version has some merit and perhaps it "might" be pursued.

I have a question for both of you. I, as a lifelong "Wacophile", would dearly love to join the "WACO Brotherhood. How does one go about doing this?

JayD,
Thanks also for your nice message. Trust that I'll do whatever I can to speed up the delivery of our Waco models but the earlier information that I gave you is the way it sits at this time. Speaking of the real thing, I am a member of the Antique Aircraft Association in Blakesburg, Iowa and of course attend their annual Antique Fly-In for full-scale aircraft. Last summer at this event, I was privelged to see and crawl all over a Waco SRE that had flown in from Louisiana - NC58785, I believe. What a rush! This aircraft demonstrated beautifully the fit and finish of Waco aircraft in general and the SRE in particular. Man, what a nicely built and truly beautiful airplane! It's color was bright yellow with green trim & white pin-striping. In fact, that was the only problem with the airplane because for me personally, I just don't care for a yellow and green combination. That said, it was still a beautiful airplane. The other thing that struck me right away was the size of the thing! It is a very large airplane. Anyway, if you're only 63 years old and just getting started in R/C, I can practically guarantee you a very, very long life - this hobby has a very real way of keeping you young.
