The 1933 Waco UIC is a classic cabin aircraft design from the golden age of aviation. Its stable construction provided forgiving flight characteristics and moderate performance. Throughout its entire development, the Waco cabin series remained almost identical in its basic configuration with yearly upgrades of engines, streamlining, equipment, and creature comforts, similar to the auto industry, which kept the price reasonable for prospective owners. As one of Waco's most successful styles, the UIC was popular as a corporate aircraft with famous names such as Jacqueline Cochran, Henry Dupont, and Gar Wood. it was also used in the late 1930s as a U.S. Military reconnaissance and training aircraft.

Dimensions of the propeller are 94 inches x 9 x 6 and weighs approximately 30 lbs.

This is a fantastic rare piece of aviation and WW2 history that will display beautifully.
