The WACO aircraft company designed a S- series of small passenger aircraft manufactured from the 1935. Several variants were developed. The YKS-7 had a four seat closed cabin layout including the pilot and usually a Jacobs L-5 engine.
Max speed was about 230 km/hr and wing span 10,13 m and a length of 7,7 m.
