RE: GREAT PLANES/HOBBY SERVICES STEARMAN
Shubova, I could send you a patch or two but you could also visit your local hobby shop and purchase a roll of each. It is about $17. bucks of so there or a little over ten mail order. I really recommend the hobby shop as they are becoming extinct because of the mail order. Although mail order is cheeper and provide a greater selection, you will pay shipping on top of that and bring the price close to the shop price anyway. Also, the hobby shop serves the local community and helps get kids and others started in this sport relatively quick.
So, it's your choice bud. Hope all goes well with your repairs. What a great flying plane, aye? I didn't realize how much I missed mine over the last three years until I got off the pot and finished repairing it.
One thing about this bird, land it on the main wheels and then settle the tail. It will make a world of difference. It will three point but it's not as scale looking. Many will notice the difference.
When you touch down, let off of the elevator, neutral or close, and it will level out and not bounce. It is the same with the cub, Gee Bee and many other planes. They tend to bounce and the more you try to re-flair the more extreme the bouncing till it comes to a possible violent stop!
You take care buddy and remember, when the wheels are on top, down is up! hehe!
Later. bird.
