Truth in advertising?
Okay, Great Planes has their 'new' PT17 Stearman out which is probably their Super Stearman in new clothing. And this is great....it looks like a nice plane. But to advertise it as quarter scale??? I thought the full scale U.S Army and the Navy version were 32 ft. 2 inch wingspan, so true 1/4 scale size should be about 96 inches. So 71.5 inches is nowhere near 1/4 scale unless there was a full scale 23 ft. Stearman built I never heard or read about....
Will someone set me straight? I'm very curious.

RE: Truth in advertising?
It seems as thou they consider any airplane that takes a 25cc gas engine to ge 1/4 scale so I guess a 1/10 spruce goose is considered 1/4 scale by todays standards hmm who knew[:-][:-][:-]
