PT-17 Stearman EP 50" ARF
The PT-17 is a biplane that was used as a military trainer by the US Army Air Corps during the 1930s and it served throughout WWII. The PT-17 is also widely known as the Stearman, Boeing Stearman, Boeing Model 75, or the Kaydet. At least 9,783 were built and thousands of surplus PT-17s were sold on the civil market after the war.
This almost ready to fly radio control version of the PT-17 is based on the aircraft that is owned by John Mohr, who very kindly sent many detailed pictures of his personal aircraft. We also acknowledge and thank Jay Smith, editor or Model Aviation, for his help and advice on this project.
Special Features:
- The fuselage, wings and empennage are factory-built from laser-cut balsa and light plywood.
- The ‘oversized’ magnetic hatch is big enough for easy access to all fuselage-mounted components.
- A dummy radial engine and a pair of scale windshields are included.
- Plastic leggings cover the aluminum main landing gear for true-to-scale looks; wheels have treaded tires.
- The included steerable tail wheel also has a true-to-scale appearance.
(Note: There is a Detail Upgrade Package available consisting of a pilot figure and two scale instrument panels; the Detail Upgrade Package is sold separately and is shown on the images of the model.)
