No need to go any farther than any number of Stearman suppliers for the clamps required. They come in a variety of sizes and forms.
Take a look at the way the Stearman is constructed. There were many very successful duster conversions that metalized the entire fuselage using the tube clamps to support a 'birdcage' assembly. Doing...
Left you a message. I'd like to buy the wheel covers. stearman@sunzeri.com
Well then what does the 87% refer to if not one of area or volume? My point of course is that anywhere near 87% of the prototype is going to be a large aircraft.
Don't get me wrong, anything with an R-985 on the front or mounted on the wings is a great machine!
I checked and 87% of a T-28 would weigh in at over 5,500 pounds, and an 87% Corsair would be...
Great idea!
I'd love to see such a beast become available.
Some comments:
- I think it was the Lionheart which used an R-985, and I believe that aircraft is either dead, or severely languishing. It would be...
The articles appear to be textbook hatchet jobs. Some of the most obvious misrepresentations are found in the repeated use of "amateur pilots" and "amateur-flown aircraft". Another boner is when the...
One of the very nice things about the Citabria is the view over the nose. Not all aircraft (with the little wheel in the proper position) have such a good view.
If the pilot uses the top of the...
Eddie was a very talented and professional pilot, and well respected by all who knew him. He was a good friend. He had been performing in the 450 Stearman for over 25 years, and was inducted into the...
I've been using Ranthane for decades. In the past, before the high-solids formulations, they didn't offer (as I recall) a flex additive. My Stearman and other pojects are covered in this, and flexing...
I'd recommend Ranthane polyurethane with a flex additive. Enamels, even catalyzed are not nearly as good as polyurethane in this application.
"I just want to get comfortable and current with Stearman landings."
This request can be a tall order! Just as soon as you feel comfortable landing a Stearman, it will remind you not to be!

The blades you've got were meant for a Beech 18 installation. If you review your airworthiness data for your Stearman, you should find either a field approval or STC for the prop installation.
