GP Waco?
Iwas looking at Towers "just announced" page and saw this:

No pictures or details but I definitely like bipes and planes from that era.

Oooh! Can't wait to see the color scheme

I think this might have to go on my list of wants. It should be perfect with a little 20-30cc gas engine.
Now if they will just do a Stinson Reliant...

The WACO YMF-3 and YMF-5 is the most beautiful biplane to ever sprout wings!
I bet $10 this is the Cox ARF.
Cox bought Pica, and for awhile sold a 1.20 and a .60 size ARF of the Pica kit. Then Hobbico bought out Cox. I campaigned Hobbico to revive this ARF so you can thank me very much.
On the other hand, after nearly five years of hoping to find one of these beauties, I gave up. I finally located a very old Pica kit of the .60 size, and commissioned Bill Phillips in North Carolina to build the airframe for me. I'm now finishing it out. I can't say I wish I had waited because the model that Bill built for me has some re-engineering in it that will make it superior to any ARF. Even so . . . . .
By the way, there's an ENORMOUS thread on this model and other WACOs:

GP is being very tight-lipped about it until after the AMA Show in LA next month.

RE: GP Waco?
I'll see. It seems like there is always something else I am obligated to do during that weekend. The club has a bus chartered to go down but I think it is on a weekday so I can't do that. I will have to drive down on Saturday if I go.
How come RCU doesn't send some of you guys out to cover it?

RE: GP Waco?
One of these days I would like to make it to the Toledo show. I'll see if I make it to the AMA. Maybe get up really early on Saturday morning, drive down and be home late that evening.
