RE: Kyosho PT17 Stearman
Here are some pics of mine, This is my favorite plane in my hangar!!! I would like to have another arf in the box just to set on the shelf in case something happens to this one.
A tip on the radial when you glue the two halves together, there isn't much space left to trim down with out trimming away part of the "radial" it's self. What I did to remedy that is sprayed expandable foam insulation up inside the hollow areas, then it expands and fills in all the "gaps". It also did wonders to help make the "dummy" radial a little more substantial. The best part is no extra weight. As for the rest, I used the supplied aluminum tubes and wires. It took longer to do it than the rest of the plane I think, but it looks good I think. If you want any other pis of the radial let me know and I can take a couple more close ups.
