I've got my fingers crossed that Mother Nature grants you 80 Deg F weather with a light wind right down the runway, every day! Maybe one of these days, I'll make it over there for the National Club flyin. |

Well folks, I can definitively say we had the worst weather we have ever had! Five days of wave after wave of T-storms and heavy downpours. Surprisingly, 18 Wacos made it to the "Splash-in"! That just goes to show you the dedication of the owners. Here is what attended: 1930 Waco RNF NC663Y 1931 Waco QCF-2 NC11427 1934 Waco YKC NS14137 1934 Waco YKC NC14073 1934 Waco UKC NC14052 1934 Waco UKC NC14047 1935 Waco YKC-S NC14620 1936 Waco ZQC-6 NC16203 1936 Waco YKS-6 NC16598 1937 Waco YKS-7 NC17474 1938 Waco ZVN-8 NC1937S 1938 Waco EGC-8 NC2329 1939 Waco AGC-8 NC20908 1940 Waco UPF-7 NC29300 1941 Waco UPF-7 NC32114 1942 Waco UPF-7 NC39753 Classic Waco YMF-5 N901DP Classic Waco YMF-5 N14081 |

Just curious, are there any photos of the Waco RPT as it was originally built without the later canopy addition? Did it have USAAC markings from the factory? |

I have photos of it as it was built. It was not painted in Air Corps colors or markings. It was powered by a Warner engine with a bump cowl and not the Kinner it has now with the PT-22 nose. It also did not have any canopy as it has today and the wing tips did not have the tip plates you see now either. |

I see the sole RPT has been for sale for quite some time (Not enough wings?). Restoration to the original configuration would be interesting. Thank for the info. |
