Official Dynam 1270mm Waco Yellow Thread

[OV10]

Stock prop is actually quite satisfactory...........like any prop you should ensure they are balanced.
Still using the original that came with mine almost 5 years ago with well over 300 sorties.
To answer Builda's question on battery size, I've been using a 4000 with no issues.

If you haven't changed out the stock prop for an aftermarket, I highly recommend it. The prop that came with mine was not well balanced at all.

Took a few more photos and a bit of video doing my regular “pre maiden taxi round the yard” today. Soon as the wind settles after the weekend I’ll get it flying-in the meantime, what size lipo y’all using in this bird?? 3000 or 4000??

[Builda]

Just finished building my Dynam Waco-I never meant to get so carried away it just kinda happened. The photos don’t do it justice I can tell you that much-now my friends say “it’s too good to fly” and should be on display lol. I’ll fly it at least once or twice. It’s my first (and only) Biplane and I’ve heard lots of good stuff about it hence I bought it. Only mod I didn’t do was swap out the LED’s for a working kit-I was over the project by that stage, plus I have a raft of planes waiting to be built-plus my buzz is flying then, not detailing, so this is the only one I’ll go to this extent on. Has anyone tried an MAS Beech prop on this bird and if so did it reduce performance?

We got 4 inches today, now it just needs to clear up so I can take it out. Have a second set for the Turbo Beaver.

Skis sound like fun!

[CaptAmerica]

One way to find out. I had to run 5ozs or more with the 2500. And had to switch props, went from 12x6 to 12x8 to get more bite to pull the extra weight. But it seems to be happy there. Hopefully you get a good day soon. We have snow and freezing temps in Ohio. Might be awhile, though i did break out the skis for the Eflite Cub.

Thanks way back in this thread they were adding 2to3 oz of lead to get cg on 3000’s but I’m level at 70 and slightly nose down at 75. So I wasn’t sure about it.

[CaptAmerica]

Im only running Admiral 2500s, so I had to add a bunch of lead in the nose. Seems as if most are running the 3000s and it fixes CG issues.

[farmflyer]

Welcome. Be ready with the nose weight. Flies nice once the CG is correct.

I found my cg to be spot on at 70 mm with an Admiral 3000 4s does that measurement work for you?

[CaptAmerica]

Welcome. Be ready with the nose weight. Flies nice once the CG is correct.

I know I’m late to the party but I’m a new member of the Dynam Waco club. I have it built just waiting for good weather to get the maiden done.

[CaptAmerica]

For a cool $250k, but still my favorite classic bipe.

[Hoomi]

Nice walk-around video of the real plane, for the details-nerds among us!

[Hoomi]

And she does it so danged well!

[CaptAmerica]

Im glad Callie does what she does, otherwise there would be a bunch of plain, ugly models out there. We cant have that.

[Pauly]

Capt that is sweet! Them graphics set it off.

[CaptAmerica]

Thanks I'll have to get some of that. I think its the same thing they use on the Rochobby Waco.

Nice vid, like the front cockpit cover. What did you make your flying wires out of?

Thanks. I use Stretch Magic, an elastic thread from the jewelry making section of my local hobby shop. They have it in .5, .7 and 1mm, I use the .7mm. It is easy to use, holds its length for a long time.
