Waco Aircraft has been touring with a YMF-5 biplane on Aerocet floats and is it ever fun to fly. AVweb's Paul Bertorelli recently took a crack at the airplane with some water landings and airwork. Here's a complete video on the topic.
Im glad i found this video because i saw it flying around a few weeks ago. My Dad used to work for Waco Classic so my family moved here to Battle Creek. He was laid off after 14 years of working for them. He was the inspector so he saw every piece that went into the aircraft and could guess the weight within 25lbs. When i told my dad i saw it flying he said its not new because my grandpa designed the mounting spots for putting floats on them. Thanks for the video.
