SA waco 30 size
 

I find a lot about the 60 size Waco, lots of pros and cons. Hobby people has the 30 size on sale , what can I expect from this size?

I bought one a few months ago along with the recomended magnum .30 four stroke. I have not got to fly it as yet but I have a few observations that you might want to read. First off let me say that this plane is for sale right now for 89 dollars!!! ( same price as alot of foam bipes). With that said I think the overall quality is about a 6 (1-10 scale). The fiberglass cowl glasswork on mine is good, but the color doesn't match the fuzz, a shade off ( rating 6). The covering is good and tight and I only had a few small wrinkles (rating 7). The hardware that you get surprised me a bit and I ended up using alot of it. ( rating 7) . The plane's wings seem to be sturdy and I feel I won't have any problems (rating 7) but the fuselage has me worried. The stringers used on the fuzz are too small I feel. I have already had to repair one that broke while I was assembling the plane ( rating 3). I am going to try adding some wood and then spraying expanding foam in the fuzz. The plane does look great & I have had a few compliments and I feel I can improve upon this plane to make it a nice addition to my fleet. I think for the price I can't go wrong and I might just buy another at this price, remove the covering and bash it a little and recover. just my 2 cents.

I have the 60 size and love it... ( With a few minor fixes... ) I know someone who had the WACO 30 size and he loved it... Said it was a breeze to fly.. But unlike the 60 the 30 was a little bit of a hand full landing... Needed to be flown in... If you got too slow it would snap or if too much elivator it would snap over... He flew off grass so small wheels... and grass ect.. I told him it is on sale right now for $89.00 and he said he was probably going to order anothr one... He loved the plane just was a little bit of a white knuckle on landing... He had traded his old one away for an Electic bip. I think I will order one for the $89.00
