RE: WACO YMF

Thanks John and Anthony. I'm not used to this since I previously flew typical sport planes with constant chord and incidence. This is the first I've dealt with portions of a wing with a radical taper...

RE: WACO YMF

Good morning Anthony,

Thats probably at the root of what's confusing and that is the T/E taper I was trying to describe in my original message. The cross section of the fuse on the plans are of...

You're right. What the heck was I thinking? Either I've been out of the hobby too long (18 years) or I need to take a break before I start seeing pink elephants.

You're right, the one I photographed might have been a restore, but I don't know for sure. When the museum opens in the Spring, I can ask out of curiousity.

There's a pic of it on the guys ebay listing. I think the PT-14 is the military version of a UPF-7, but I'm sure the guys here can correct me if I'm wrong.

RE: WACO YMF

John,

Would you also happen to know the full size N-strut thickness to help select the right tubing diameter and know when "I'm there" when I go to flatten it?

Thanks,

RE: WACO YMF

Making a stop is a good idea so the tubing isn't crushed too much and the shape is consistent. I might try it.

RE: WACO YMF

True, they are all real. Well, since this is a 1/6 kit with 1/2" wood struts, the real ones would have to be 3" wide. I'm wondering if 3" is right for the full size. Maybe the real ones are wider...
