Here's my latest scale project. A Waco AQC-6 built from my own plans. It is a bit of a far away shot, but I thought it looked realistic. It isn't going to win any scale contests, but I'm pretty pleased with it. Anyone care to guess how big it is?

Nice! ... from what I can see.

Based on your SIG, I would guess it is a 1/2 a plane?

How about some closer pictures, and more details. Did you draw your plans from 3 views or TLAR? Kell construction? etc.

Here are the specs.
Upper Span: 23"
Lower Span: 16.25"
Length: 17.5"
Channels: Ailerons/Elevator/Throttle
Engine: Throttled Cox TeeDee .020 with an external .6oz tank
Weight: 8.5oz

I drew the plans from a 3-view and covered it in the scheme of the Waco at the Canadian Museum of Flight in Langley, BC. It is 1/16" balsa sheet, slab sides with 1/32" balsa sheeted foam core wings.

Kewl!

.020 ... wow! I had one of those, unthrottled on a freeflight many moons ago. She went the way of many freeflight aircraft, last seen flying circles at great altitude.

Again, any chances of some closer pictures, especially construction pictures?

Here are some construction pics.

Mini clunk next to a standad size clunk, and the mini fuel tank made from a "wedding bubble" bottle.

This is how I mount wings on smaller aircraft for a clean installation.

Bipe Flyer · 05-02-2005, 02:43 PM

Mounted wing, undercarriage and engine installation.

Very nice, you make me want to build some smaller stuff. I assume you're hand launching, and landing into hay or long grass? Any issues with lack of rudder control? Did you keep the dihedral as per 3 views? __________________ ScaleBuilder MAAC# 12719 6EQUJ5 WOW!! Si fractum non sit, noli id reficere - (If it ain't broke, don't fix it).
