Dymond Stearman
Anyone had experiance with Dymond Stearman??
Not enough info on the Website, I'm looking for a big old Round bodied bipe to haul around my 4 stroker gas engine.
The size and price are right,,If the quality is decent, and if the claimed weight is anywhere near right.

I have one. Looks good in the box.
Only problem is there aren't any instructions or parts list.....
An E-Mail to Dymond didn't get a response...I guess I'l have to call...

Seems to be an ongoing story. Ya can get a decent model from some of these manufacturers, but horrendous manuals. You would think the model construction would be the hard part!

It looks a bit Mickey Mouse to me. The proportins & shape don't look right, the landing gear is fiction[:'(]

The cowl is 8" round in front, 8 1/2" by 9 1/4" in the back (it has a flat bottom, I measures across the center of the vertical and horizontal axes) and the length is 6" (or so)....
I think the plane is the same dimensions as the Aero works PT-17.
While looking at the plane I noticed that the upper wing has the red stripes on the bottom of the wing....they should be on top...Hope that's the only thing they got backwards...
