John, Happy New Year to you as well!
The Waco will be available around the end of February. Price is $129.99 and we do have one out at AMA west. Your really gonna enjoy the way this flies, Very light feeling in the air and a ton of power for non scale aerobatics. Matt Andren Horizon Hobby |

I cant get to the pre-order button fast enough. WOOHOO!!!
A big 6S Carbon Z Waco in identical livery would go over even bigger than the CZ Cub I bet. Wallet standing by. Your move, Horizon ![]() -CC Edit: Pre-order accomplished |

I'm in for this one as well. Looks great. Good job Horizon.
I've always liked the WACO and Great Lakes bi-planes. So much character to them. Can't wait to see how this one flies. Now that they have the Beast, S-1, Skip Stewart's, and now a WACO, I really want to see Kyle Franklin's Dracula bi-plane done by Horizon. That would really complete my collection of favorite bi-planes. I believe there is some WACO in his build. (keeping it relevant) ![]() Pic because it's awesome. |

Within the classic lines of a Waco but inside lives the heart of a Pitts

Matt,
In the words of Slim Pickens, well, shoot! I was hoping to see you, but I hope you stay as warm as possible. Great time to sit behind a computer and design some more great models ![]() ![]() Chris, Can you offer any insight as to the choice of color? Not that I'm trying to infer that it's bad in any way, it's not, it's actually a very nice choice; just curious why you guys didn't go with red/white.... Great job....really looking forward to some springtime barnstorming ![]() |
