Default RE: 17R Pictures

Re:Go here to find the 3 view drawings for the 17R Staggerwing, i.e. the first one with the fixed gear : http://staggerwing.com/tech_library/model_17_drawings/ Plus you will find detailed 3 views for the rest of the B, C, D and G17 Staggerwings, plus the UC-43 and the Beech 18 if you like.

Those drawings look nice but...They are inaccurate!~

I have been looking for info for my D17S Staggerwing project. I started off with inaccurate plans so I started to work on my own plans. I came across those drawing and thought I hit the jackpot.
After brief study of these drawings, I found inaccuracies. For example; the stringers on the fuselage are not located in the correct position as well as the number of stringers is inaccurate. The drawings show no stringer on the fuselage center line when there should be a stringer and the number of stringers is wrong. Study these and other drawings carefully.

Find photos of the full size Staggerwing and compare.
