I just picked one of these up last night from Hobby Shack. Looks like an o.k. plane. I'll be putting a Saito 1.20 in it. Any one else have experience with this plane? I hope to fly it this weekend, i'll let you know how it goes, Todd

Hey there. Would you happen to have a pic of the servo and radio layout. I receintly picked up built but never flown Waco but have no idea how to lay out the gear. Trying to make it look stock.Thanx

i can scan the manual and email it to you. i dont have a digi cam though so i cant take pictures :-/

There was a thread a little while ago on the WACO.

Thanx for the replys guys. Hey iatemydingo, whatever is convenient fo you. I'm in no great rush, it's going to be a winter restoration project. I've rebuilt both wings(someone decided to play kick-ball with the plane about 10 years ago,broke the main spars and some ribs). I wanted to see the radio and servo layout before I re-cover it. Thanx again very much for the help. Guys like you make the hobby worthwhile.

chuck, give me a dy or two and i can email it out. whats your email address?

I just order a WACO 60 today... Just went on sale for $219.00 Again just like a kid in a candy store.... OHhhhhhhh Yeaaaaaaa LOL.... Was waiting for a reason to buy this one... and there it was... Let me know how yours flys and any setup changes you have to make! Thanks

Waco arrived all safe and sound.... almost complete... Only negative is the control arms and clevis wish they were stronger... plastic type... will use them at first but will convert them.. putting a saito 100 in the little bird.... Mmmmmmmmmm can't wait expecting to fly this sunday.. That is if the weather Gods cooperate..

What ever happened to you and the WACO 60 with a saito 120 in it... I put a SAITO 100 in mine and it's way over powered... I can't imagine this plane with a Saito 120 in it.. how did it fly ! PS mine is awsome... Just love the plane! anyone else who has flown theirs let us know how it went!

Still working on mine but in response to the many posts about gear failure I ran supports from the front and back gear formers up the the plywood backbone and notched them to glue securely then drilled from the firwall thru all of them to the former in front of the wing and ran 2- 1/4"dowls thru there and glued them securely.Used Pro-Bond and really glued it all down.After the many postys about the gear figured to try to keep it in place as apparently makes a mess when it tears out.Is sure a pretty plane,Would be done if the elevator flaps hadn't torn off my hog bipe on landing.When found all wing aileron hinges broken should have replaced these to.All posts indicate a very fine handling plane that gear is the only negative I have seen.Plan to use a 61FX in mine,have a YS 91 sitting there but only want a nice sport plane think that would be overkill for a sport plane!Use oif the 81 should allow the motor to be cowled without cutting into the supplied cowl where the YS would need lot of cutting on the cowl.Good Luck!!

I got mine flying with a Saito 100 GK and it is a really sweet flying airplane. Plenty of power for vertical and all aeroatics. Really sounds good with Saito just loafing along below half throttle for just playing. I did reinforce my gear and after about 20 flights have had no problems. I used 3" hi bounce wheels and that really helped alot on grass.
I put the dummy radial in with all area cut out between the cylinders and have had no heat problems. I did open the intake and exit vents molded into the cowling.
great flying model. It is definetly a keeper.
