So anyone still flying their Stearman out there?

After two seasons of great service the Stringers in the fuse had started to become loose. I noticed this by the plane getting all fidgety in the air. After stripping it down I noticed nearly all the Glue spots had come loose. It was mearly being held together by the covering! The glue is very brittle so just a heads up to those still flying.



That was a good opportunity to swap all the stringers against fresh ones altogether and while covering I recieved a new load of Litho

So I tried something... And one thing led to the other



The struts are reworked too. I didnt like those square ones very much.



After about 50h of work I am almost done. Cant wait to fly this great plane again.
