QB.........that Spark's radial looks pretty awesome on there. How about a quartering frontal shot of that for a better look see :Cool:That fourth pic just wet my whistle ;)

I converted mine to a UPF-7 Navy trainer in the exact scheme my Dad soloed in at Ball State University in the VF-5 program.

I'm sure it will a good one. It's been a long time since I was last out that way.

[dkalwishky]

I plan on going to the Ottumwa event. I missed it last year.

[Pauly]

In a crazy series of weather I'll be maidening tomorrow. It hit 75 today in Iowa.

Dk I see theres a Jet rally coming soon to Ottumwa. It being in Aug. there shouldn't be any problems. That would be good event to attend. We have on here in NC this month and I'm hoping to go to it and see all the cool things there. We have a couple of guys in our club that has turbines.

The Waco is one of many on my future to own list. Long list

Yea I love my dynam waco I use a 3600 and a 4000 both do it justice. My cousin put in his Mrrcsound card and 2 transducers that is wicked cool. This plane is so much nicer then the roc version. I will admit that one uses a 3's lipo and is faster over all but the stability the heavier winds the dyanm can handle put the roc to shame.. This is one of most dependable flying plane its always ready to go very dependable.

TJ,
On a get together at your field or mine we'll have to do a little Waco formation flying.
I was one of the drum beaters a couple years ago in convincing MRC to carry this bird and initial buyer when they did.
Still am flying it frequent and hard whereas my Charlie n Snoopy (now Woodstock) have a blank stare of delight :) or fright :Scared:
ps......Snoopy bailed for his own plane when I did the DTFB Fokker DR-1 ;)

After you get her in the air, you'll wonder why you waited so long. A truely great flying plane.

Just make sure that if your tail surfaces come warped, as some do, use the technique in post 32 above before you install them. Also, the stock LEDs are very dim, so not worth the effort to hook them up.

The plane is powered well and has no bad habits. It has a very wide flight envelope. It lands slow. I fly from a fairly close cut grass field and have not felt the need to remove the wheel pants. If flying from a simular type surface, just keep a little power on touch down and pull a little elevator to keep the tail down.

I'm on my second one. My first one had around 300 flights on it and met with a dumb thumb incident. Immediately replaced it. There are probably over 100 flights on the new one already. It tends to be my grab and go plane. It's that much fun to fly and looks great too.

[SfC Wade]

Well I Did it. This plane has been on my mind for so long. Just got tired looking at in on the screen so I hit the enter key ...3 days ago and it is here. Motion RC in Motion!!!!

test

On my Waco the only mod that I did for cooling was to take advantage of the air channel that is located at the bottom of the fuselage starting right below the motor mount.
All I that I did was remove the webbing on each side of the very bottom center faux cylinder and that provides most excellent airflow for the motor and the ESC which is in that channel.
Still going strong after 3+ years on the stock 40A ESC

[Twowingtj]

Welcome to Hobby Squawk jagilly. The motors can get warm. What I did with both of mine was to get better air flow to the motor. Open up the area around the motor opening by about 1/4". Then cut out some of the webbing between the cylinders. Just doing that put the motor temp back where it should be.

Yesterday was a spectacular day in Iowa, we set a new temperature record for the day of 67 degrees and winds under 5 mph. I'm using Admiral 3600 4 cell batteries. The plane balances well and at full power I get a solid 5 minutes of flight time. Checking the battery after I land I see cell voltage in the 3.7 volt range.

The plane flies very nice at 50 - 75%, take offs and landing are really easy, this plane will go to the field most days with me. She really flies nice, if I were to crash this plane I would order a replacement as soon as I got home.

I give it 5 stars, completely happy with the plane and flight characteristics.

Excellent airplane and so much fun to fly. I have had two of them before moving on to other other models. I would only suggest you run at least a 60A ESC with the 4S 3600 batteries. The motors seemed to get quite hot on both of mine until I upgraded the ESC. Just sayin'. Enjoy!

[doctormike]

Great news! Can hardly wait to get mine in the air. Doc

[dkalwishky]

Yes she is and I agree with Jim, it is an underrated plane. I put seven flights on it Saturday.

[Prowler901]

Congrats of the maiden! She's a great little flyer isn't she.

[wvrailfan]

Glad the maiden went well. It is a sweet and under rated model.
