How to Build PT-17 Stearman RC Biplane

This one is my most favorite RC plane I've ever build. The first one was 7 years ago. I already build this 5 times and this is the last version, now complete with plans and build instructions. All wings and strut are all detachable, no need for glue to mount the wings and struts, just screws. I also made a papercraft / paper model figure for the 2 pilots that also shared on the link below along with the RC plans. This RC biplane is capable of STOL, Short Take Off and Landing. With big 80mm foam wheel, it can take off and land on most rough field on grass or dirt making it fun to watch it take off and landing seamlessly. I recommend you to build this RC plane, it's worth to try and very fun to fly it.
