Went to Galesburg Il last week for the yearly Stearman Flyin. I love these planes. Has anyone built or attempted the Ecardmodels PT-17? I am interested in your comments. John

I haven't built that series, but this one is very nice and not too easy but not too hard either,

I don't know about Kaydet models but the marek ones surely are more detailed an precise than the Fg one.

I've several model from Marek and the last ones are very detailed.

I built two of the Stearmans from FG. Both came out really good. I did the blue and yellow and the all yellow. It is a fantasia model. I hope you try it and post your build. wc

Well looks like I missed out on something, especially since I am only an hour away in Burlington IA.

Greg, the flyin happens at the Galesburg il airport each year the first week in Sept. They draw several pt-17's Do a search on Galesburg Stearman Flyin. In 2012 there were 91 Planes registered, I have not yet read the count for this year.
