Hi Gents,

this is my first post so a small intro of my self.
I am from Germany and fly most of the time aerobatic planes like CARF extras or the Modelpower Extra 330L which I build at present.

The next project I would like to aim on is the Stearman PT17 powered with a 215ccm Moki radial engine.
Balsa USA has a 30% kit which I can get here from a lokal dealer.
So far I could not read a lot of that kit and may be some of you guys have already experience with it.

I would be interested in the kit quality, is it CNC made? Do the parts fit or is it likely to have lots of work with correcting/reworking the parts? And finally how does that thing fly?

Sorry for having so much questions but I think here is the best place to get the answers.

Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

Cheers,
Wolfgang
