Biplane action – ARF ease.

The primary U.S. Army and Navy trainer during WWII, Boeing‘s PT-17 Stearman enjoyed a thriving second career as a crop duster. Hundreds still fly today in private hands. This spectacular one-quarter scale ARF version from Great Planes makes an ideal first biplane model…and assembles easily in as little as 12-15 hours!

• Features high-quality balsa, ply and fiberglass construction with MonoKote film covering.
• Performs loops, rolls, spins, stall turns, inverted flight and other crowd-pleasing scale aerobatics.
• Included details — such as rivet decals and an easy-to-install replica radial engine — add impressive realism.
• Steerable tailwheel improves ground handling — main landing gear enhances realism with scale shape.
• Spacious radio compartment allows easy installation of on-board components

Many included details — like scale-shaped landing gear, rivet and instrument panel decals, and this easy-to-install replica radial engine — combine to give your PT-17 Stearman ARF impressive realism both in the air and on the flight line.		With its low parts count, this almost ready-to-fly model can be assembled in only 12-15 hours. The built-up balsa and ply airframe arrives already professionally covered in five colors of MonoKote film. A generous Great Planes hardware package is also supplied.
Students training on the PT-17 occupied the front cockpit, while their instructors sat in the rear with identical controls. Great Planes reproduces the dual cockpits complete with painted pilot figures and vacu-formed windscreens with painted frames.		“When the military needed a forgiving, cost-effective trainer, the Stearman answered the call. You want a great-looking, easy-to-build biplane for scale aerobatics, and the Stearman — as a Great Planes ARF — is again ready to serve!” Don Anderson Founder Great Planes Model Manufacturing
