New Model Deluxe Ship will be Built in Plant of Advance Aircraft Co.
Many Improvements Made over 1926 Models-Waco Goes Through Hard Government Test
The Advance Aircraft company is announcing a new DeLuxe Model 10 Waco plane to be placed upon the market this spring. 
In telling of the features in the new plane C. J. Brukner, manager of the company, stressed the changes made in the plane to add to its beauty and the comfort of the passengers. He declared that the industry has reached a point now where the purchasers are seeking beauty and comfort as well as reliability. 
It was emphasized by Mr. Brukner that there is no change in the basic principles underlying the construction of the Waco planes but that the changes made in the DeLuxe model are to add to the safety of operation and to increase the attractiveness of the plane. 
One of the biggest changes in the new plane over the Model Nine is in the landing gear. Oil shock absorbers have been installed which take up the shock of the landing and prevent the bumping of the plane. Mr. Brukner states that this feature is entirely new in the manufacture of airplanes.
The cowling of the new plane is stamped instead of handmade as heretofore, making a much neater looking job. The cockpits have been enlarged and the one side cut down so that passengers can enter the plane as easily as an automobile. 
A number of new features have been added to the control mechanism of the DeLuxe model which add greatly to the margin of safety in flying the Waco, already one of the safest ships on the market, Mr. Brukner stated.
The circular sent to the trade announcing the new plane also gives the results of recent government tests undergone by the Troy-built planes.
A Waco ship stood every test required by the government and sustained a factor of safety of nine in the test of ability of the plane to withstand abusive stunting, when the government requirement is but 6.5.
Mr. Brukner states that the model plane built last year will continue to be manufactured although he anticipates that the new model will make up the bulk of the business done this year.
He also states that the Advance company expects to get into production upon the new plane within three weeks. 
The outlook for business this season, Mr. Brukner stated, is even better than it was last year when the company built and delivered more than 175 planes. This record is expected to be exceeded this year as many of the dealers have already booked a number of orders.

Airplanes are no longer a luxury but are a stale product. Troy in a measure from an industrial standpoint lost out when horse drawn vehicles were displaced by motor vehicles. It now has an excellent opportunity to be in the forefront of the coming industry which while it will probably not displace highway motor transportation will become an industry of equal importance. May Trojans realize this opportunity and continue to support this industry of the future.

FIVE WACOS WILL BE USED BY NEW AIR LINE
Troy Planes To Carry Express and Paddengers Between Louisville and Cleveland Beginning Thursday
Five Waco airplanes will be used in the new E.R. Express line which will be opened between Louisville and Cleveland Thursday morning by T. H. Embry and J.P. Riddle of Cincinnati, distributors for Ohio and Kentucky of the Waco plane manufactured by the Advance Aircraft company of this city.
This will inaugurate a passenger and express air service between the two points with way stations at Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Akron.
The Embry-Riddle company is also attempting to secure the mail contract between Louisville and Cleveland which was awarded to another company sometime ago but which was cancelled last week.
The company has operated the Lunken airport at Cincinnati for sometime and has distributed the Waco plane for several years. Officers of the local factory state the Embry-Riddle company is one of its largest distributors and has contracted for a large number of planes this year.
The new express and passenger line is being backed by the Cincinnati chamber of commerce which is said to assure it of good financial support.
