Default RE: Midwest Super Stearman

Like the Flying Pilgrim I went for the fiberglass cowl and also the wheel pants. I just finished up the fuse and almost have the wing covered. This plane will me heavier that most from this kit due to the extra weight of all the reinforcement required during the rebuild...bad crash last summer, but with the OS 120 Gemini twin up front it should still fly OK.

See below a few pics. I made up a battery box/firewall extension to help with bringing the weight as far forward as possible. If anyone whats a pic with the cowl off, let me know and i will post one.



Cheers,



Jim
