Default RE: GP Super Stearman

And I'll add a few here as well.

Notice under the stringers, you can see the remote JR Rx, placed well away from the main Rx. Also, I forgot to mention that I removed the balsa block in the back and hollowed it out. There was a lot of wood there. I also used a Sullivan tail-wheel assembly, because I always do that on every plane I build. They work great.

I built the gas tank from a Fiji water bottle. The little smiley-face I painted on the bottom of the tank is there so I see it when I install the tank. If the face is smiling at me, the bottom of the tank will be the bottom when the plane is placed upright and filled with gas. Nothing worse than putting a tank in upside down and then, at the field, wondering why the fuel is running out the vent-line!

And finally, I added a red stripe on the belly, because mine has to be a little different, and it clearly differentiates the top from the bottom.

Hope you like them!
