Default RE: WACO Custom Cabin Project

The plan is almost finished, managed to get everything on 4 huge sheets. I'm going to have a look at a real C7 this weekend. It's being restored and is one of six C7s currently known to exist. We really got lucky on this one as the airframe is a ZGC-7, the same type that is being modeled. There was a total of 38 C7s built in 1937. A rare bird indeed.

The one I'm going to look at is in various stages of disassembly and repair which provides an excellent opportunity to take detailed measurements and plenty of pictures. No doubt some of the drawings will change after examining a real one but we are well on the way to build a super detailed replica.
