| Sharie Goltz New Ulm, TX | I had the chance to speak to someone that had an uncle that had the Waco -UPF-7 in the 50's. My dad had it from 1973 - 1992. I would like to know where the plane is today. N29353 10/24/2010 @ 11:23 [ref: 31645] |

| John Howard , MO | The first photo of the white and red Waco submitted by Jack Gilbert of a new production aircraft is a YMF by Waco Classic Aircraft, not a UPF. Check the tail shape, landing gear and dihedral in the upper wing for starters. 08/10/2010 @ 05:54 [ref: 28711] |

| Trevor Landage Calgary, AB | Our family has owned a UPF-7 (CF-AMN)for the pass 35 years. It is a beautiful aircraft and pictures are available on the Waco Web site or by contacting me @ landage@shaw.ca My dad was an Aircraft Engineer (A&P)and maintained his own airplanes. He recently passed away and we will be offering it For Sale. It had a current C of A when it was last flown and is in flying condition. Many extra parts available including a new 220 hp Continental. Thanks for the site, Trev. 08/20/2008 @ 10:29 [ref: 22510] |

| Ken Hodges Newton, NC | I recently attended the American WACO Club Fly-In at Creve Coeur Airport in St. Louis, Mo. Never have I seen so many wonderful airplanes in one place. There were over 35 WACO's of all types, and included at least eight UPF-7's. I got to ride in Tail# NC39748 out across the croplands west of St. Louis, and across the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. This was my first ride in an open-cockpit plane of any type. I am also an r/c modeler and have a large scale UMF, and will add a large scale (20% scale) UPF-7 as soon as I find plans. 06/21/2007 @ 17:04 [ref: 16905] |
| Curtiss Aldrich Groveland, CA | Having flown many airplanes over the years, I can honestly say that the UPF-7 was one of the best. The plane has a redline speed (Vne) of 214 mph which is about 100 mph faster than normal cruise. With 4 ailerons, wide landing gear, tail wheel centering lock and effective brakes, the plane can be flown in weather conditions that send even modern airplanes to the hangar. The aiplane is streesed for over 7 G's positive and more than 3 negative. There are no (and have not been) any FAA safety issues(AD's) on the airframe or engine. A stock UPF-7 can easily out-perform a stock Boeing Stearman PT-17, a 1940 era rival (and winner) of the US Goverment contest of what plane to use as a Primary Trainer. The Waco is faster, handles better(quicker), climbs better, and out-turns the Stearman. I have flown both airplanes, and the Stearman is a good plane too, and a better primary trainer than the Waco, but no match in performance. Ironically, both the stock Waco and Stearman use the same engine, a Continental W-670 radial of 220 hp. Most who see the Waco in person will agree the plane has some of the most pleasing lines of any aircraft. When one thinks of the epitome of the classic American biplane, the Waco UPF-7 comes to mind. 11/16/2006 @ 01:09 [ref: 14746] |
