[quote]ORIGINAL: booker-RCU [quote]ORIGINAL: mrdhud Dino, Welcome to the brotherhood looking forward watching your build. I’m still undecided in what engine I will be using in my ¼ Barth. I was leaning toward the saito FG-57 twin gas engine but for a few hundred more I can go with the evolution 7 cyl 77cc radial engine. Any one have any experience with this engine or any thoughts

RE: WACO YMF
Work on the Barth has been kind of slow but I did manage to get the lower bulkheads installed in the correct place. I thought this would be a good time to install the tail wheel. So far I’m impressed with the kit the tail wheel is first class.

RE: WACO YMF
[quote]ORIGINAL: hopkimf Barth 1/3 YMF I'm third owner of kit. Pretty old, but in good shape except for some balsa strips and sheets mouse eaten in storage. With wings and tail pretty much done, finally getting around to building fuse. Study plans, parts, more study. Well, should have studied even more. At the firewall there are four spruce pieces about 3/8 x 1/2 x ~12 that are epoxied onto the balsa framing pieces that run full length. The cross pieces for the front four or five stations are also spruce and epoxied in place. Earlier I noticed the four spruce pieces running back from the firewall were warped. Nothing else was. So I made a fixture, soaked them well and took most of the warp out. Laid down pretty well on the plan as I built the frame sides. When I stood both frame halves up on the top view, while looking down, I noticed an abrupt pull in at the front for the first three stations. That explains the warp. Should have looked first. As it happens, they still had a bit of curvature, with two of the four correct and two wrong. I'll muscle everything into place, but it makes me feel pretty dumb. Could have been avoided by just setting parts on plan. Mike Hopkins Waco Brotherhood # 132 [/quote] Mike, I know the feeling quite well I have already made two mistakes that could have been avoided by simply asking about them on this thread. Don’t be afraid to ask any thing here some one will be able to help. Post some pictures as you go we all love pictures.

I have a Dave Platt Waco YMF 3 kit that I have had for a long time ,it has work done on it but was put away because of my sons death, he was very young but loved to sit beside me while I worked. I wish to finish the model but I cannot find the constuction and flying manual. If any of you know where I can obtain a copy of this booklet it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks [/quote] Bob, Go here and you can download the manual. http://mrdhud.wix.com/classicair

[quote]ORIGINAL: FMBB Hi Dan, the landing gear as the center struts are silver soldered, so just clean them from residue, no wiring needed. Silver solder is strong enough to cope with the loads even if applied during harder landings. Peter Brother #170 [/quote] Thanks Peter

RE: WACO YMF
Bulkheads 510 & 511 have been turned around and re-glued. Landing gear and struts are temporally installed every thing seems to fit so I can move forward now. Peter, Does the landing gear and struts need to be wired and soldered or are they finished as is?

RE: WACO YMF
Peter, Thanks for confirming that I had a 50/50 chance getting it right but as you can see in picture 3 they ended up on the right side of the fuselage.[:@] I’ll make the repairs before continuing.

RE: WACO YMF
Here’s a few shot of the progress so far. I have to make sure I have bulkheads 510 & 511 installed correct before I go any further. The instructions say install both so the noses are positioned at the RH side for installation of cargo door. To save my life I couldn't figure out what the plans were talking about they look the same on both sides to me. Then I did notice one side was different as you can see in the picture. I have both bulkheads installed with the A side on the right side of the fuselage. Peter is this correct?

RE: WACO YMF
Anthony, Again great job your Waco’s beautiful. Did your hart rate go from normal to sky hi when you landed? I know mine did. I get that bounce on my landings more times then not and usually end up on my top wing. I would like to hear from you and others on the best way to land the Waco with out getting the bouncing I haven’t found it for myself yet.

RE: WACO YMF
Hello all, The Barth kit has arrived and I have it unpacked. All the parts are neatly marked and together with rubber bands. Doesn't look like a lot of wood but I’m sure that will change when I start building. There are a lot of glass parts and the cowl has vary nice detail work also the aileron are already built and has the detailed skin already attached. So far every thing looks good I have a few things to finish on the 1/5 scale Waco then I’ll start the build.
