nothing like gluing a bunch of wood together and then carving to look like an airplane.

I'd like to hear more about how the Staggerwing flies. I built an Aristocraft kit of the Staggerwing. The plans were dated 1976 but the design really seemed more like an early 60's design as it was designed as a 2-3 channel airplane.. It flew nicely. it was fast and had a pretty flat glide for a biplane but the ground handling could be a bit of a handful. It looks like the Royal kit is a more scale representation.
