PT-17 Stearman ARF
Biplane action — ARF ease!
The primary U.S. Army and Navy trainer during WWII, Boeing’s PT-17 Stearman enjoyed a thriving second career as a crop duster. Hundreds still fly today in private hands. This spectacular one-quarter scale ARF version from Great Planes makes an ideal first biplane model...and assembles easily in as little as 12-15 hours!
- Features high-quality balsa, ply and fiberglass construction with MonoKote film covering.
- Included details — such as rivet decals and an easy-to-install replica radial engine — add impressive realism.
- Steerable tailwheel improves ground handling — main landing gear enhances realism with scale shape.
- Spacious radio compartment allows easy installation of on-board components.

Students training on the PT-17 occupied the front cockpit, while their instructors sat in the rear with identical controls. Great Planes reproduces the dual cockpits complete with painted pilot figures and vacu-formed windscreens with painted frames.
