Stearman build was created by kevinross
Time to join the lockdown build project group.
I recently acquired a pre-started Flair Stearman kit (out of production for many years) The majority of wood parts were complete but much of the hardware missing so i will make more scale like parts. The fuselage was mostly built but my rework of the Cabane structure has taken many hours of planning and work.

My plan is build the Cabane structure to look more like the full size by replacing the standard 1/4" x 3/4" rectangular section with reinforced and braced streamlined struts

Made a start on the upper centre section with reworked mounts for the 30deg angled Cabane struts

Very easy to like Stearman - especially when this is the subject

Today I jigged up the mid section so i could establish the Fwd Cabane strut length. These are M3 temporary items. I'm making the anti roll wires from aero cycle spokes. Ive adapted the spoke nuts to provide tension adjustment. Now i have to figure out to fix the upper ends.
