Default RE: Beechcraft Staggerwing

I have collected a boat load of documentation on the Staggerwing. Recently, a friend of mine got a chance to take some pictures of a full scale Staggerwing while it was sitting in the hanger. Another friend had been collecting magazine articles and other documentation for years with the intention of building a model. He gave me his scrap book containing nearly 100 pages of photos and articles on the Staggerwing. So, I have everything I need to build a model perfectly to scale if I desire.

The Robert Sweitzer Plans are also the best I have been able to find. I have 3 or 4 sets of plans but his are the most acurate for the G17 model. The plans are sold by Vintage RC Plans. Here is a link to their web site:

Tell Fred I sent you (he problably won't remember me since it has been a couple of years).

BTW, you can follow the progress on my project on the forum at my web site at:

Good Luck.
