Market
It's another fresh take on a blast from the past. WACO Classic
Aircraft has introduced a "Barnstormer Edition" of its WACO YMF-5C
airplane.

The Barnstormer is powered by a simple and reliable dual magneto
R755 B2 (275 HP) engine featuring a 1400 hour TBO. Inside, there is
a vinyl interior and rubber floor covering, basic VFR
instrumentation including Garmin avionics and traditional analog
engine instrumentation. WACO Classic says the airplane has simple,
low maintenance and modern systems, and is FAA Certified for
Commercial Activities. It is optimized for Commercial Ride
operations with a hold-open device for the passenger door. WACO
Classic says for those customers looking for a more basic aircraft,
the lower price point of the YMF-5C will appeal to the value minded
customer.
The YMF-5D model features a 300 HP Jacobs radial engine with
fuel injection capability turning an MT Wood-composite prop. The
"D" model also has JPI EDM 930 engine instrumentation system, high
capacity batteries, and IFR capability as standard equipment,
along with LED lighting for landing, taxi, and rotating beacon.
Also available are Garmin advanced IFR instrumentation, ground
service plug, wheel pants and spats, multi-color premium paint and
non-standard designs. The front cockpit offers flight controls and
brakes, and both the pilot and passenger are treated to a leather
seat and cockpit heat.
ANN's Jim Campbell recently flew the YMF-5D, and his report is
available on
Aero-TV.
