Waco YMF5 from Carenado...

I love this Golden Age bipe - very photogenic, so where better to show her that at KORS near the Biplane Rides Hangar?

 

People are claiming issues with this bird's handling. The only problem I have is with the CofG section. OK - If I pause during takeoff or landing for some screenies, unpausing can drop me in the warm and brown, but that's not the model...

 

I was looking for a good shot for the monthly screen comp, but once again I am in a dilemma, so here are some cast offs:

...and remember, she has an open cockpit so dress up (very) warm, because the glazing is useless and you'll have to fly like this:

Considering it was an Alabeo offering for FSX then XP10 and somewhat ported to XP11, it's survived the journey to MSFS very well.

 

It's been well adapted, that's for sure. Performs pretty well considering the bug and complaint reports on their FB page. Like I said - all I have to complane about is the CofG screen - can't get the CofG inside the MAC limits. Otherwise... well, she's a heavy taildragger and flightsim coefficient of friction for ground contact has always been terrible.

If I read the rules right, I can only enter unpublished pictures to the comp which is why these are here. I have submitted a different one to the comp for January. But hey, the winner depends on a lot of things, so LUCK to all co-entrants.
