Title: Waco Yk-S 6 by Brodak
Post by: Allen Eshleman on September 25, 2017, 06:34:27 AM

Has anyone built and flown this model.  I have one that is ready to go.  Any set-up tips, flight characteristics, balance and line length tips would be helpful.

Wasn't there an instruction booklet in the kit???    I know John usually tells the basic set up for most of his kits. D>K

Yes, I did read them.  Just wanted some comment on how this two winger flies.  I have flown some "Flying Fools".  I'm wondering if these are any different -hopefully better flying - on the 1/2A level.

Well, I can report that it flies.  It was very nose heavy - I have wheels on it.  Then I added 1/4 oz. of weight to the back.  It might be too much.  Still not getting good engine runs with these old Coxes.  We are tearing them apart and checking out the innards per recommendations on the engine set-up board.

This will help you get them in good running order.

I and my brother are reading this. Seems like we ought to be able to get these things running with all of that. They run for about thirty seconds and then quit.  We're going to go through this regiment.

Thanks.
