That sure is a nice looking airplane. I have had several biplanes and I think that the Stearman makes a better RC model than some of the more modern design. One of the best flying designs ever made.

The price seam on the high size for Hobby King. For that price I expected to have motor, ESC and servos included.


.

Good price in my view. Looks like a darn nice built up plane, seen foam planes a lot higher than this. This is a good looking plane, looks like HK is upping the bar a bit.

I ordered one as I had some extra cash in my paypal. Won't be building it right away as other projects will come first but for how much detail it appears to have I think the price is fair. I've always wanted a Stearman of some sort and this is a nice size so it checked a bunch of boxes for me.

Wow what a beauty!

It's gorgeous, however at that price I'd be more inclined to get the Muscle Bipe. https://northwestrc.com/Legacy-54-Mu...me_p_2568.html

That is fairly rude, advertising another plane on this thread. Why not just start a separate thread?

???? $10 difference between the two. Very close in all other specifications. Why would you even mention this plane in this thread? Not seeing the advantage to your suggestion...especially based on price. The Super Stearman looks far better to me.

Muscle-Bipe would be my choice to.

Another vote for the Muscle Bipe.

While I also think the Muscle Bipe is really nice, it's not a scale airplane. It's scale-inspired but not a scale airplane. This one is.

I really think they went above and beyond with the details. Especially the rivet details and the likes. This raises the bar for balsa ARFs.

I liked the, "we're here at the flying field" at the beginning of the video, AKA public road.

What's wrong with pointing out the competition? Especially if they're both good options.
Not like he said this one is junk and the other one it is better.

I don't own a biplane yet, just watched a couple vids before finishing this post.

Whoever they had piloting the muscle bipe in the video I just watched should pilot for every advertising video ever made. Pure insanity, I've never seen anything other than a full on stunt plane do that kind of stuff.

Video to video comparison I'm going muscle bipe if I have to choose. Sorry guys, give me one for free and I'll video a couple flights and try to help sell a few for ya. Flying off a public road and doing basic aerobatics, then bouncing it down the "runway" just isn't showing me it's true abilities or potential.

Scale detail weighs lightly on my scale of must have, just care how it flies.
It did look great though, no doubt about that and seemed to have decent power.

Agreed on both points.
Totally scale RC planes usually don't fly all that good.

I like them both. That being said I'll order neither because I have too many planes, including large Bipes, and HK is disillusioning me because I have been waiting since November 10th for them to ship me my Fat Albert! They have my money and all I have to date is "processing!"
