Default RE: GP Super Stearman

Hi Bigbird. Thanks for the tip on landing. The plane is nose heavy, and I can´t make it to drop the tail at slow speed, or at least I didn´t want to push it. I have to move thing a little to get a better balance. This will help. Also the wheels are stock, and I think I will replace them.
The roto engines are beautiful, just a little heavy for its size, but they run very smooth. I have to change the prop for a lighter one, to get a little more power and better acceleration. It has a Classic series 20x8.
Here is a link to the engine, mine is the 35vi, red head.

I saw the pictures of your stearman, really nice, especially the dummy engine. Congratulations!!!
Talking about hard work, covering that full scale stearman must take some loooong days of work.
