The primary U.S. Army and Navy trainer during WWII, Boeing‘s PT-17 Stearman enjoyed a thriving
second career as a crop duster. Hundreds still fly today in private hands. This spectacular one-
quarter scale ARF version from Great Planes makes an ideal first biplane model…and assembles
easily in as little as 12-15 hours!

With its low parts count, this almost ready-to-fly
model can be assembled in only 12-15 hours. The
built-up balsa and ply airframe arrives already
professionally covered in five colors of MonoKote
film. A generous Great Planes hardware package is
also supplied.
Students training on the PT-17 occupied the front
cockpit, while their instructors sat in the rear with
identical controls. Great Planes reproduces the
dual cockpits complete with painted pilot figures
and vacu-formed windscreens with painted frames.
Many included details — like scale-shaped
landing gear, rivet and instrument panel
decals, and this easy-to-install replica
radial engine — combine to give your PT-
17 Stearman ARF impressive realism both
in the air and on the flight line.
