I have a 80" wing span Ryan new in the box. I cant remember for sure but I think I paid right at 400.0 plus shipping. It is red and white scheme. I would be willing to let it go for what I have in it.

Why not try building one to the size you want? There are a number of short kits available from reputal laser cutters and in a lot of cases you can getthe cowling and wheel pants from Fiberglass Specialties. You'll get the plane you want looking the way you want it to look. You can't beat that!

You'll see kits on RCU for sale, and on line. Try searching RCU for build Threads or just for interesting conversation.
I actually have one I scratched about 30 years ago, maybe longer.
Thing still isn't finished. I keep changing it, because the ailerons were wrong and other stuff. A list of other stuff.
Clark Y back then, so I added a bit of an arch to the underside of the ribs.
I could get photos if there were interest.

I have the Great Planes Ryan STA 80" W.S. ARF
Installed robart struts, scale flying wires etc.
I think G.P. discontinued this ARF about 3 years ago but you can
still find one on ebay now and then. They also made an STM 2 seater
military version that was 82" W.S.
