RE: WACO YMF

Hello All,

I haven't finished reading over what I've missed in the last couple years, but I noticed a few posts that were saying the the House of Moy site was not functional.

RE: WACO YMF

No problemo.

If anyone else has something to add, make sure to email me directly. I have a new baby at home, so don't often get a chance to read every post in the thread ;)

BVW Update.

Fuselage work is progressing, along with the tail feathers, and I've started to "build" the bottom wing so I can accurately create F21.

So far, everything is fitting pretty...

RE: WACO YMF

Turn the incidence meter around. Then positive is up.

The meter reads according to how you use it. Positive is up regardless.

RE: WACO YMF

For plywood in 1/8" and greater, go to a decent lumber yard. If they don't have it in stock, they'll be able to order you Balic Birch plywood. It's high grade plywood in 5'x5' sections. Maybe $30...

I'ts leading edge up on the plans, although not as much as the callout on the plans.

RE: WACO YMF

I have no idea what the correct incidence is :) On the plans it's called out as +2deg. On the plans, it measures as +1/2deg. I believe it's generally measured relative to the thrust line of the...

Solidworks is a great tool!

I started over on the YMF-3 model in order to get the plans and Bill's outlines to jive. Interestingly, the plan doesn't even agree with itself in some cases. For...

RE: WACO YMF

Well, that certainly can't hurt. I'll likely still use the scans, but at least I could measure on the actual part to accurately scale the scans.

I'll email you my address.

OK, looks like we may have a compatibility problem since you're using an earlier version than I am. I'll see what I can do about posting more compatible versions.
