WACO YKS-6 / YKS-7 performance and specifications

A series of four to five seat cabin biplanes known as the "Custom Cabin" series were produced from 1935. These were a little larger than earlier Waco types, and more luxurious. They generally had short span lower wings and quite elegant lines, and sold well despite higher prices. The YQC-6 was offered with a choice of no less than seven different engines, the Jacobs L-6 being the largest.

A number were exported to Canada and India, and some were fitted with freight doors.
