Included details — such as rivet decals and an easy-to-install replica radial engine — add impressive realism. Steerable tailwheel improves ground handling — main landing gear enhances realism with scale shape. Spacious radio compartment allows easy installation of on-board components.
Many included details — like scale-shaped landing gear, rivet and instrument panel decals, and the easy-to-install replica radial engine — combine to give your PT-17 Stearman ARF impressive realism both in the air and on the flight line.
With its low parts count, this almost ready-to-fly model can be assembled in only 12-15 hours. The built-up balsa and ply airframe arrives already professionally covered in five colors of MonoKote film. A generous Great Planes hardware package is also supplied.
Students training on the PT-17 occupied the front cockpit, while their instructors sat in the rear with identical controls. Great Planes reproduces the dual cockpits complete with painted pilot figures and vacu-formed windscreens with painted frames. |
