Default RE: GP Super Stearman

[img][/img][img][/img]Here's a couple of pics of my stearman with a ryobi 31cc installed. Due to the long crank, I had to extend the front of the fuse 1 1/2".After a few dry runs and one fast taxi, it came airborne by mistake and it's maiden flight was on! Engine had plenty of power, and sounds great with the Jag setup. Although I had missed the cg (cause of the surprise maiden flight...whew!), it was controllable and was able to land. Hopefully in the am will get to remove some of the tail weight and get some extended flights!
