After WWII, the trusted trainer that had taught thousands of Allied pilots to fly was suddenly obsolete. But for a lucky handful, fame was just around the corner, as a showcase for stunt pilots and a stage for wing-walkers. The Super Stearman was a star in every sense of the word — and this ARF offers the original's great looks and thrilling performance in full. Best of all, you can have it at center stage "wowing" the crowd just a few hours after you open the box!
The Super Stearman is perfect for "grab & go" flying at a nearby park or across town at the field. At just 36" span, it's easy to carry by hand and an easy fit for a car or truck even when it's assembled It's built for brushless power and air show quality aerobatics, and it's designed for beauty and ease with a balsa/ply airframe, MonoKote covering and painted fiberglass parts.
