The World Models 100cc Stearman
Hey guys,
I finished my World Models 100cc Stearman and had the maiden flight about two weeks ago. Flew very well after several clicks of down elevator. Seems to still be a little tail heavy even though I had adding 3-3/4 lbs of lead to balance it. I built the Stearman pretty well acording to the manual, including using the dummy radial. I had to remove part of the backside of the dummy radial to clear the cylinders and mufflers on the DLE 111cc twin. Rather than have an extension made for the prop shaft, I was able to use four prop washer to get the proper clearance from the front of the dummy radial.
I have really enjoyed all of the photos posted by n8622t, what an outstanding build!!!! Hope to add a little more detail to mine in the future, but for now, I'm just going to enjoy flying it. My plans are to take it to the "Joe Nall" on May 9th.
I tried to add a few photos of mine at our field on the day of its maiden flight.
