Hi Mace -
If you ever get wanderlust and find yourself relatively near Tennessee, see if you can make time to spend a couple of hours in Tullahoma. The Beech Staggerwing Museum is in Tullahoma.
They have G-17 Serial #1, along with several operational 17s (operational in that the engines are still dripping oil in the catch pans on the floor).
The neatest thing is the G-17 which is complete except for covering. The woodworking evident in that airframe is amazing.

I live two miles from the Staggerwing Museum and I can't find the time to go see it. It's probably been ten years since I've been there.

You can find specs on www.ziroliplans.com if Nick has updated his site. I saw his fly at Warbirds over Delaware. Its a giant scale gas powered plane.

My site is here: http://www.theaeroplaneworks.com ... but as I have not finished the kits yet, it is only listed as a TBA on my site.

Hi,
The real issue is the landing gear. According to Robart, they won't be available till fall. I haven't had a chance to talk to Nick since the WRAM show, maybe he can put a little heat on Robart.
I think there's a little mix up with the designations, the uncovered Staggerwing is a E-17B, not a G-17S, although they have two G-17S there, B-3, "Big Red", and B-7. There were only 20 G-17S's made, and they were made after the war. I'm going to make the G-17S, which is going to require major rework of the fuse from the door forward, and, of course a new cowl. The other changes to turn it from a D-17S to a G-17S are pretty easy by comparison.
I'd love to go to the museum just to get the length of the cowl, since all the reference drawings are wrong.
BRG,
Jon
