I have a 1/5 Pica Waco that I built in the 90s. It had a Zenoah G38, ( its retired now)and it had 2 servos on the ailerons with pushrods to the top wing. I flew it for years and it performed quite well. With this 1/4 scale Waco I'll use more powerful servos, maybe Hitec 7954s. I'll see what the setup looks like when I get it but I think the stock set up will be fine.

Just dreaming a little, but is there a radial that will fit in this plane? Wouldn't that be sweet?

Wacos are cool. Thinking hard about this one for sure!!
The manual is available here: http://www.towerhobbies.com/manuals/...825_manual.pdf I wonder if a DA-70 will fit in the cowl?? |

I'm hoping my Mokie 150 will fit this model. Can Mr Gunn give us a cowl diameter? |

C/A hinges will work fine if they are a high quality hinge. I have several 55cc powered big birds that are many years old and the C/A hinges have held up fine. The brand I use is Radio South "1/4 scale Pro Hinges." They are MUCH better and I would recommend their use with a plane this size.

I just ordered an APS fuel pump for my Moki. The 150 (now 180) is 10" diameter. Somebody scaled the cowl at 10.5 ". This radial requires frequent oiling and adjustment. I'm thinking why hide it in a cowl and make maintenance hard? |
