GPMA1295 Waco Biplane ARF

GPMA1295 Waco Biplane ARF. The Greatest of the Golden Age Bipes!
The number of sleek, fast aircraft boomed during the Golden Age of Aviation, but none could compare with the Waco. Today, the Waco YMF-5D offers the same timeless good looks and the benefits of modern technology. Great Planes’ replica recreates its smooth, flowing lines and classic style in sport-scale detail, painted fiberglass and rich MonoKote film.
The cowl features a realistic replica radial and factory-painted blister detail that adds to looks while reducing finishing time. A hidden ring secures the cowl without screw holes, preserving scale looks.
Tubes for the horizontal stabilizer simplify alignment and installation, reducing assembly time.
Painted fiberglass parts — including the cowl, struts, cabanes, wheel pants and fairings — ensure seamless looks and fast installation.
Each aileron has a dedicated servo, ensuring swift, dependable response, shorter linkages and easier installation and adjustment. This is the radio controlled, glow or gasoline powered, almost ready to fly
Waco YMF-5D Biplane from Great Planes.
Includes parts to build a two-seat trainer or a single pilot mail carrier.
