Kyosho Super Stearman 40 Manual
They are in stock and mine is on the way. I've been flying Helicopters for the most part the last three years but this plane has me all excited about flying airplanes again. Now I need to decide on an engine. I'm thinking about an OS 1.20 pump, YS 1.40 sport, or a Enya 1.55. It will be mounted inverted. I've been leaning towards the Enya but not sure how well she idles without constant glow heat at low RPMs.
I could put an onboard glow igniter on her but would rather not if I can get away with it.rc-sport 08:52 PM. I printed out the instruction manual from the GP web site and they used an OS 120 single.And, they provide a neat little plywood box to fasten to the motor mount to put the 18 ounces of lead into, which was needed to balance the plane.It's all there in black and white, right in the manual.At least they told you to plan for it, not like some other manufacturers, who never mention that you have to add a ton of weight to balance your completed model.The Enya, probably heavier than the OS, will require less lead.The completed plane, however, reportedly weighed less than 14 pounds dry.Don M.

I'm thinking of getting one of these, but would like to go with a gas engine, and want to see what may fit without cutting holes.ghost-RCU 07:14 PM. Just got mine from Tower on Saturday. I agree with the prior post that a G38 is too much engine.

This is not a very big airframe and it looks like a G26 will be the appropriate engine in power, weight, and size. I've got a B&B G26 that I'm going to use in the plane and I'll post some pictures of the plane with the engine as soon as my wife gets back with my camera. The quality seems first rate, and it has some interesting landing gear. It's not nearly as large as I was expecting, but at least it should fly well without having to spend huge $$ on servos. This is no 3D machine anyways, so I'm expecting it to be a great flier on a G26 and some mid-range servos. I'm going to go with the two aileron servos and slave the second set of ailerons off the first as in the real planes.
It even comes with pilots! Not bad for the price, although I would have liked it a bit larger with easier to remove/install wings.xtraflyr 11:43 AM. Ron,I got mine Stearman on Saturday also.
I got the wings together, and I'm going to mount the engine next. I've opted for an OS 160 Twin I have had for a while. Fits perfectly in the cowl without sticking out. I am also going with two servos in the lower wing and slave the upper ones to them. I' ll probably use Hitec 625s.I found one problem with the ailerons.
All the hinge slots were 1/16 off center. This is easy to correct by moving the slots. I like the size of this plane as it will fit in my van without taking it apart.The OS 160 requires a box for moving it forward. I will put a 3000 mah 6 volt battery pak in the box. This is the first plane I ever built where the mnfr. Says to add nose weight (18 oz). The big battery should help, and maybe I'll install on board glow with a big battery pak also.
Might as well make the weight carry its share!Let me know how you are doing.Bob Sapalsson 02:07 PM. Finally took some pictures of my cowl. The cowl measures close to 8' in diameter near where the front lip begins to curve inwards.
It is about 8-3/4' wide at the base, and is a little more than 6' long on the left side. The more I look at it, the more I am surprised at how small it is.
It DEFINITELY doesn't need any high end servos, and my G26 will fit PERFECTLY and should fly it GREAT! So far, the quality still seems top notch and I have not run into any problems, although I have just started working on it.rongreg13 05:56 PM.
