Bob Tait (534 W. North 4th St., Shelbyville IL 62565) sent this photo of two WACO biplanes that are owned and operated by Bob Howie of Decatur, Illinois. Bob Tait built the 1/5th-scale model for Bob Howie from a Pica kit that someone had started but abandoned.

The model is finished in automotive paint that was applied by Brad Gillespie, over Super MonoKote. A Saito .180 engine powers the model and a Futaba radio system is used for guidance. It was a real team effort!
