RE: GP Super Stearman

The 170 is a perfect match for this aircraft in sound and power. It has the approx. power of a 150 due to power loss thru inherit friction in multi cyclinder engines, the more cyclinders the more...

RE: GP Super Stearman

Pete, I use the Keleo exhaust ring, which fits perfectly and sounds good, the only hole in cowl is for the exhaust exit in the bottom. The flex exhaust extensions by saito will work fine also! If you...

RE: GP Super Stearman

RE: GP Super Stearman

Shubova,
Take the wingspan of real aircraft, in this case 32'2" (386") and divide this by the wingspan of model, 72" and you get 5.36 or 1/5.36th scale.
It doesn't mean the wing cord or fuselage...

RE: GP Super Stearman

Shubova, The scale appears to be between 1/5 and 1/6th scale, 1/5.36 to be more exact.
