Cockpit Options; Pilot Installation (Optional) - GREAT PLANES Waco YMF-5 Instruction Manual

Cockpit Options

Several options are available for you to finish your Waco
YMF-5. The most commonly seen model was the double-
cockpit, 3-passenger version. You can install the front
windscreen and two more pilot figures in the front cockpit. A
more unique option is the "mail plane" version. For this, you
may fit the front cockpit cover. This version did not have a
front windscreen.
❏
1. Identify the two rear instrument panel parts. The rear
cockpit instrument panel is taller and is notched. Cut out the
instrument decal and apply it to the solid instrument panel
backing plate. Apply the outer decal to the faceplate. Glue
the faceplate to the backing plate.
❏
2. Fit the panel into the rear cockpit and glue it in place.
❏
3. Prepare the front in the same way.

Pilot Installation (Optional)

❏
1. To install a pilot figure, please purchase a Great Planes
1/5th scale pilot (GPMQ9115). Trim 3/8" off of the base of the
pilot figure so the figure measures 4" for the rear pilot and
3-1/2" for the front.
❏
2. Clean the inner surface of the pilot figure with alcohol.
Epoxy a wooden base to the bottom of the pilot. Let the
epoxy cure.
❏
3. Glue the pilot figure in place.
❏
4. Repeat these steps to add a passenger (or two) to the
front cockpit. Note: To install two passengers in the front,
you will need to trim the left shoulder of the left passenger
and the right shoulder of the right passenger.
