Introduced as a primary trainer for the U.S. Army Air Corps in the days leading up to WWII, the Stearman PT17's robust construction and goodnatured flying manners endeared it to thousands of pilots throughout the war years and beyond. It's sheer numbers (over 10,000 built, by some estimates) and numerous postwar roles, from crop duster to air show star, have made it one of the most recognizable biplanes among the general public to this day.

FMS has expertly recreated the rugged good looks and benign flight behavior of the fullscale Stearman with this easytoassemble model that is a joy to fly. It comes out of the box constructed of EPO and covered in an authentic earlyWWII UtlraCote trim scheme. Other scale touches include a painted cowl, painted landing gear fairings, and a greatlooking 9cylinder dummy radial engine.

In the air the Stearman PT17 flatbottom airfoils and light wing loading translate into exceptionally scalelike flight characteristics that everyone from intermediate to advanced pilots will instantly fall in love with.
