I just got a nice 54" span Super Stearman from my father in law "who got it from the builder in a trade". It looks pretty good, it's been sitting around for a while. I'm trying to figure out if it's a Great planes model or not and what size engine I should use. I don't really want it for 3D or pattern. I just want it to have scale performance. I have a Super Tiger 90 ringed that I can use "I know that won't sound to scale but I would like to get it flying and avoid buying a motor for big$$$" I also have an OS 70fs. Do you think one of these engines would do it? Also any other thoughts would be great I want to get this plane flying-it looks to nice to just sit in the basement. Thanks Deltatech

Deltatech:
I just bought a second hand 66" WS Super Stearman (Midwest) and it flies great on a OS 91 Surpass. I didn't actually weigh it but feels about 11-12 lbs. Your OS 70 should fly the 54" WS with power to spare.
Just my $.02.

Happy Flying

Sorry I havn't gotten back to you guys sooner. I made a mistake in measuring and found that it's got a 65" top wing and 64" bottom wing - I know "BIG DIFFERANCE". The total wing area is 1270". The total weight with fuel tank,5 servos,battery,reciever and Super Tiger 90ringed is 10lbs. Sorry for the mistake in the wing span I know it makes a big differance in what model it may be and what size engine will work. Thanks again. Deltatech
p.s. I couldn't get any pic's my camera is acting up.

What kit was it built from?

deltatech

I don't know who kitted it. If I knew that I could have looked up the reccomended engines.

IF you go to midwest products' web site you will probably find the info you need. It must be their kit. I hope this helps.

Happy Flying
