33% Waco YMF
Jan 14^th, 2018 at 6:42am

I acquired this from Todd a little over a year ago. Mike was original owner and the work he completed is top notch. It was about 2/3 framed up . So the reality is it's about 1/4 done. Depending on the detailing maybe even less.

So I'm going to give it a go but I have to admit in recent years I'm having trouble getting these big projects done.

Wingspan : Top wing: 120 inches, Bottom wing: 107 inches (True scale airfoil)
Fuse length : 91
Wing area: 3 966 Sq. inches
Wing loading: 26 ounces / square foot.
Cubic wing loading: 5.09. Values between 4 and 6 are sailplane/glider values.
Cowl diameter: 13"
Plug-in wing and stab panels

This is what I hope to create

These wings have been kicking around in an unfinished state for many years and there are a couple of warps to be pulled out.

You can't see it but I had to shim the wing up in a spot when I clamped it down to pull a warp out. This all guess as to how much to shim. The plan is to sheet and finish the wing and hope that it will come out straight. And it did

The wing tips are one tricky bugger. The angle and the height doesn't seem to agree with each other. Going to be a guess here. It's almost like the tips needs to be bent to achieve the shape of the full size. I went on the center line of the wing cord so if needed I can add wood later on and reshape. I have a feeling these tips are going to be difficult to get correct. Once all four wings are built I'll decide what to do as a group.

Well as far as I could go. Ran out of wood again. So I stuck it together to check the incidence. There is a .8 of a degree discrepancy across the span so that can be fixed with the N-struts. All things considered I'm real happy with that.

Thanks Dan.
Not as big as that beast you have but close.
Burn out....well when I work I go go go but when I stop I find it very difficult to get started up again. I am enjoying this one. Not too much engineering, just build it.

Never seen one up close, but that was my thought...

I saw some exercise weights in one of the photos. New year's resolution in the making?

Well hopefully I'll finish this one. As for the weights, What are you trying to say? Grin

Unfortunately I'm going to have to put the engine on hold until the can muffler system arrives.

So back to the wings. Here's a pic of the landing lights and an idea as to what they look like.

I see the light placement is a little off on one and will have to be remade. Funny how I didn't see that on the plane but in the picture you can clearly see it. Huh

Great work Al! Your restorations and builds put me in mind of The Aircraft Restoration Company at Duxford in England (they did the restoration work on the P 47 SNAFU). Like you, they restore old aircraft to like new or better condition. Lots of time and lots of skill involved in every project.

New workshop looks real cool, and very full. May have to knock out a wall to make room for the next build.

Still waiting on the mail. I really need all the hardware I've order from Micro Fastener to continue working. Tracking # shows my stuff went to New York then went to Toronto and sat there for a week. Then went back to New York, then went up to Toronto again and is sitting there. Or at least as far as I can tell. Embarrassed

Anyway here's a few pictures of an aileron. I'm finally happy with the way the wing tips look.
Man they are full of interesting angles Huh

Looks like this forum photo size maximum is set to somewhere around 700 kb Al. Your other shots are under 700kb.

Resize the photos to something smaller. Your current size is 2048 by 1152. Not sure what software you're using, but downsize making the larger side about 800. Your phone probably has that option too. If these are phone photos.

Additionally, the current size makes it hard for people to view them having to scroll around to see the whole photo. Not complainign mind you, just trying to help.

That's the first thing I did. However I may need to resize them even more. They were going on just fine up till now, but I do agree the size was a but if a pain to look at.

I know it sucks, but perhaps you could shrink the sizes of the photos you've posted, then re-do the posts..I know, others have said the same thing I guess. Lot of work to that option.

Thanks for the kind words again guys. It helps motivate me to post more. I'm having a ball building this plane. Really enjoying it.

More on the tail wheel.
A little more time on the mill and the gear is ready to be mounted. Not the right wheel yet but you get the idea. The tiller arm is yet to be installed. I haven't started any of the servo mounts so the arm will come after that.

All I did is add more stick-it to the overlap. I'm not going to use dope on the plane. A good modern filler primer will fill the weave then paint it with base coat clear coat. I also used thin ca around the cut out areas so they cant move when you shrink it down. Use very little because it will make the covering brittle. I also let the glue dry for a day and went back and hit it with the heat to really shrink it down. I want that concave look between the ribs. It is amazing how much coverall will shrink but be careful with it. It will pull!

Three down and one more to go.

Thanks again for the kind words guys.

Well the wings are all covered and I'm real happy with the way they turned out. Going to give them a few days to settle in then hit the open bays with one last blast of heat to tighten it a little more. Then it's time for the pinks.

If all goes well it could be ready for paint in about four weeks! Cheesy

A few of the wings completed.
Bloody thing is a monster!

Even though the covering was nice and tight it seem to need to be sealed up. After a few test on it I decided to fill the weave to stiffen it up even more. nitrate dope has always worked great for this but after the Sig Stick-it smell I went with Polycrylic. Hopefully that's not a mistake.

There are two coats on the wings and most of the tail group and so far I like the results.

The stuff goes on like water and it's very easy to put too much on. That will give a hanging drip on the inside so it was very slow going on the first coat.

The second coat went on normally and I'll take that as a good sign on filling the weave. This shot shows just how wetted out the second coat is. It looks heavy but again it's a very light coat. Two complete coats have resulted in less then half of a quart can.

..so research on the WACO name pronunciation resulted in this..

"WACO (referring to the aircraft) is usually pronounced "wah-co"[1] (the first syllable pronounced as in "water"), not "way-co" like Waco, Texas,"

..and I guess this also eliminates WACKO ..although this term might be how Al has felt at times during this project.

Bottom line ...Your Wah-co is looking Wahderful..!

That's how I'm going to do it. I don't know if there's a better way. This is new for me. Huh

I'm still waiting for the pinking tape to show up so things are kind of slow at the moment in that area. Still lots to do and still at it but it doesn't look at all different.

Thanks Bill and you are right. This Waco is making me Wacko. Some would argue that this plane has done that and I wouldn't disagree. Some might even say I was Naaah

long before I started this project Right Glen?

That aside I'm still enjoying the build.

Here you can see the header and how tight the fit is to get this all to work. Lots of braze welding to get all these curves to connect.

I was worry about a lot of heat building up inside the plane with such a confined entry for air. I may put a fan in it but the second pic is taken from the forward cockpit so the hot air radiating out from the pipes should be able to get out easily. It looks like an easy install but it took a few try's and failures to get it right. Huh

I could do that and I considered it but there are three different size pinks on this plane and I would need to cut (I'm guessing) around 100 feet of the stuff. Hard to stay accrued.

You mean you couldn't just buy that exhaust manifold pre-made locally? I'm shocked! Wink

I need a new keyboard now - mine died from all the drool that's been falling in while looking at the pictures in this build. Looking really nice, Al.

Didn't take long at all. After about 2 hours the fuse was half done and I hope to finish the other half today. That could all change when I get to the wings. They require stitching and it may not be so easy. Time will tell.

The big problem is the iron getting the glue on it and causing it to track and drag along the edges. I need to stop and clean it almost after each pass but I'm getting there. A shot of the rudder.

Time for an update. I've been working on it but I ran out of pinking tape and it takes a few weeks to get more. It arrived the middle of last week and I plunged into the arduous task. Well now the pinks are all on and it was fun and interesting but this plane has some serious footage of the stuff and now I'm glad it's over.

A few more pics

That's the plan

Well under way now. Here's a few of the progress. Yellow was put on early yesterday. Then last night we managed to get it taped so the blue could go on. The last two colours will go on today and the clear coat. It's quite a process and I'm learning a lot. Todd truly is a master at this stuff. Bow to the Master

Put most of it together to have a look, Couldn't stop myself. Smiley

These may be the last ones until I get it outside. Now that it an ARF it should be ready to fly in two to three weeks. If all goes well and the rest of the stuff arrives in a timely fashion. Monster size project and I'm a little burned out. Hopefully I'll get a good season without too much trouble.

A BIG THANK-YOU TO TODD FOR PUTTING HIS OWN WORK ASIDE TO HELP ME. I AM IN YOU DET BIG TIME BUD!
