Missing a Waco terminal
 

My 1/5th Pica Waco is missing one terminal and Pica says their distributer is out of business. Is there anyone who has an extra one, or knows where to get one.
Thanks
Jeff

Go to any auto or boating store, look in the electrical isle, you'll find them in there. Your better off at a marine store, Anchor is the company that makes all the ring terminals in various wire and screw hole sizes. Just solder them on as normal, and don't forget to use the silver solder and not the rosin core 60/40 for electrical connections. BTW- the waco looks great and how long has it been since you started it, I lost intrest three times and dragged it out over a year.

Thanks for the info. It's taken me 5 months to build the Waco. It's been the most challenging plane I've built and it's by far the most beautiful. I love the "Golden Era" planes and this one is a classic. There was a point where I was ready to put it on hold because it was getting too frustrating to work on but a friend convinced me to finish it and I'm real happy I did. I E-mailed Pika many times with questions about the building and Jon was very helpful. Their customer support is great and I wouldn't hesitate to build another Pika kit

Just a note to myself, It's Pica, not Pika. and it's pronounced Piiika not Peeka.
