*The PT-17 Stearman is located at the Hangar Annex of the American Heritage Museum currently and is not open to the public other than for select special event weekends. The STC, which incorporates by reference the related TC, approves not only the modification but also how that modification affects the original design. Demand for the Stearman at the outbreak of World War II outstripped engine supply, so another powerplant, the Jacobs R-755-7, was used on the airframe to create the PT-18. A supplemental type certificate ( STC) is a type certificate ( TC) issued when an applicant has received FAA approval to modify an aeronautical product from its original design. Kit will be securely packed and double boxed for shipping. View the photos for description and condition. Navy orders as the N2S, and in 1942 both services adopted an interchangeable version as the N2S-5/PT-13D, powered by the Lycoming R-680-17 engine. It looks like it just came from the factory The kit is excellent condition. In 1940, a Continental R-670-5 engine was fitted to the design to create the PT-17, of which over 3,500 were eventually ordered for U.S.

Although built by Boeing, the Model 75 continued to be known as the “Stearman”. The Boeing Aircraft Company bought out the Stearman Company in the middle 1930s, and continued production of the Model 75 for the military. The Canadian model, 27, turned heads in a. From June 1-3, pairs of aircraft launched throughout each day to hone their formation flying skills - the lead aircraft flown by an instructor and the other flown by a student/instructor crew. Its rugged, forgiving nature made it an excellent primary trainer, providing a relatively safe introduction for pilot trainees into military flight. Winnie Harlow wasn't short of admirers on Monday evening as she made a dramatic entrance at Justin Bieber's Met Gala after-party in New York City. A Stearman Flight Formation Clinic, hosted by Creve Coeur Airport, attracted Stearman pilots from around the Midwest. Student pilots occupied the front cockpit, while the instructor sat in a rear cockpit with identical controls. The Model 75 biplane featured a fabric-covered, welded steel tube fuselage and spruce wing construction, and enjoyed a reputation as a simple, cost effective design. With a variety of engines and designations, the Model 75 went on to become one of the most widely produced and used primary trainers in U.S. Using a Lycoming R-680-5 radial engine and known as the Model 75, the Air Corps ordered the type into production as the PT-13 in 1936.

Re-engined with a Wright J-5 Whirlwind, the design was first ordered by the U.S. Army Air Corps request for a new trainer to replace its aging primary trainer fleet. The PT-17 traces its roots to the Stearman Model 70, built as a private venture to meet a 1934 U.S. Your decision to add plywood to the gear mount is a good one not only for strength but replaces the equivalent lead weight you would need in the nose for balance, anyhow.“Its rugged, forgiving nature made it an excellent primary trainer.” In any case, after market replacement gear is available for sale which is fabricated from proper aircraft grade aluminum. But, also think the aluminum gear is the wrong specification as being too soft and lacks proper springing action partly due however, to the thick metal cross section. Yes, also had my plywood landing gear anchor break away from the fuselage in my Midwest Stearman in a very mild snag on some high grass. I also suspect that the JU52 wasn't a welcome sight in Denmark 50 yrs+ ago. Anyhow, quite a sight for an old Aero Engineer. I suspect they give rides to tourist in the JU52 as I saw it fly over and then shortly, come back over the city. Earlier, saw a JU52 fly over Berlin near the Brandenburg Gate. Would have liked to buy some but it was Sunday and they were closed and I had to leave for Oslo that night. Found a bookstore not too far from the harbor that had some interesting aircraft books in the window. Petersburg through Helsinki and Stockholm. I was in Copenhagen two years ago on way back from St.
