RE: Stinson Id help please

Looks like a Top Flite Stinson Reliant to me. I have had one for a number of years now and it still flies like a champion!
The kit is still available and is a pleasure to build.

RE: ESM Fairey Swordfish

Ty,
the Laser 180 was swinging an APC 18x8 prop at 8,700 rpm. This may give you an idea of power requirements.
