Vacman, thanks for your complements. Yes it is taking a long time to do the full size Stearman. We started in 2004 and only have the bottom wings complete and ready for paint. Hank is an avid hunter and he runs a lucrative business. He has grandios ambitions to build the plane but won't let go of hunting. Usually he is gone from September to February hunting, a very good time for building the plane while it is cold and snowing here. But, as he says, 'it's in the blood'! We also went to Kansas City and picked up a Project Stearman someone was building and didn't want to finish and now Hank wants to finish those wings which are new instead of 1941 vintage and put them on the plane.
Anyway, that Roto engine is a neat looking one. It is very scale in appearance. They would look good sticking out of a cowl like a cub engine. What do they cost and can you tell me in U.S. currency?
I see the walbro carb, it is Gas? or glow fuel? Where are they made, I didn't recognize the language.
Keep up the good work.
