Addison Pemberton at Felts Field, Spokane, WA is making great progress on his Waco:
Here are the latest pix of our 1936 EQC-6 Custom Cabin Waco project. We now have the fuse and most of the airplane though base Ranthane Pontiac red color awaiting blue and gold trim. All the windows and skylight are installed and weather tight
The electrical/avionics and entertainment systems are all working and tested. The Holloway SMOH 350 Hp R-760-E2 Wright engine is hung for plumbing, engine control hook up and oil system installation. We will then remove the engine and install a hi-tech thermal barrier and EAR sound proofing to keep the cabin cool. We will also mount the oil cooler between the gear legs and port heater diversion valve overboard... Our goal is to avoid the dreaded Waco summer sauna cabin.
The upholstery is now underway as well with rich deep period fabrics and leather seats and sidewall trim. My son Ryan is well into all new sheet metal, all new fairings and gear legs. It's fun to switch on the master and hear a faint heartbeat now with engine roar to come later in the summer.
