Default PT-17 Stearman ARF??

Just got my May issue of Model Airplane News . A beautiful ARF PT -17 Stearman on page 59 jumped out at me. Put out by GreatPlanes. Looks like I'll have to get one of these.
What do you guys think?

Fred,
I noticed that also. Looks like a really nice ARF. It is also on my list! On the great planes website it looks real nice. Let me know if you get one!

Later,
Tony Jr.

Hi Fred:

You bet,I'll get one..love that color scheme..I've already called them..can't put a gasser in it...have to go with a glow engine...BTW,what engine do you plan to put in it?? Believe it's due to hit the market around the first of April..They couldn't tell me the price on it...they don't know either...

Why won't a gasser work?

The only reason why I wouldn't put a gasser in mine is because you would chop up too much of the cowl....I test fit a G-26 on mine and by the time you cut out for the cylinder head, carb,and the muffler,it would look like swiss cheese..Have a Mag 120 4 stroke in it,and it flys scale speed and landings are great...good luck
