Default RE: GP Super Stearman

Builder Jim,

I did not need to make any mods to get the Saito 150 installed in the Super Stearman and no weight was needed to get the bipe to balance. The 150 supplies plenty of power and yesterday we had a flight that lasted 12 to 15 minutes with the stock tank and still had fuel left. Not too bad...

I did get to do a few aerobatics with the Super Stearman this week-end, but just did rolls, loops and stall turns... it performed all with ease. The rolls took about 3 seconds to perform with full deflection at the factory recommended low rates. Spins are very nice and the Super Stearman sure looks great on those low fly-bys!

This ARF from Great Planes is their best yet. Keep up the good work, GP!!!

Jake
