The stirling was 64 1/2" span it was a nicely built airframe, but needed lots of weight in the nose. try http://home.mindspring.com/~jeff.coo...terlingmodels/
I think I was looking at the 1984 catalog, should help"

A flying buddy out in california had one, it was a handfull for him. He had a 60 in it (not enough power) and it liked to tip stall a lot.
it would fly realistically but was lots of work to keep in the air, also liked to ground loop on takeoff's.
Ron had flown many types of planes and was pretty experienced, it may have been due to the setup more than the kit itsel but he allways had a hard time with it. It was a tough plane though, survived serveral minor crashes.
