WACO YMF-5
1:4
 

Due to the absolutely second to none brave flight performance and good looking appearance of our big Waco we had already decided some time ago to built a quarter scale version for our customers who do not like it such big as third scale is for what ever reason. Development of the quarter scale version was slower (due to orders) than scheduled but finally we made it. Flight testing was uneventful as expected, the flight performance and - behaviour of the “little” Waco is absolutely comparable to that of its elder brother. Sure it will have a great future. Design, detailing, quality and number of parts are exactly the same as they are for the third scale version, except ball bearings have been deleted. All parts have been reduced to quarter scale size but not the turnbuckles. Due to the expected flight loads we took the same 3mm version as for the 1/3 one.

To ease transportation  we stayed with the four wing panel system accepting the weight penalty.

Aerobatics are for the smaller version as small a problem as they are for the bigger version. You may be doing it even better because it will be much easier and less expensive to go for a better weight to power ratio.
