BEECH 17 Staggeredwing: Bi-Plane Slope Fun!

Radio Requirements
The Beech 17 Staggeredwing requires three servos,
one for the elevator and two for the ailerons. A two-channel radio setup is
required with no mixing capabilities needed. Mini servo and receiver equipment
will work well in this airplane. To lighten the plane up, I recommend using
a small 5-channel receiver
The
Kit
The kit includes: 4 EPP wing core panels with
spar slots cut for easy spar installation, 1 EPP fuselage with most of the contour
cuts already made, pre-cut corrugated plastic tail sections (elevator and rudder),
basswood spars and wing center joiners, basswood sub-trailing edge, balsa ailerons,
5 control horns, 2 aileron pushrods, 2 plywood struts, 1 elevator pushrod and
detailed instructions on how to build the aircraft. All you will need is your
radio equipment, strapping tape, Goop like Shoe Goo, a little epoxy, Ultracote
covering and some time. Most of the detailed cutting has already been done in
order to keep building time to a minimum.
The Plane
This plane was designed to be very unique which
should make all your friends envious. The RG-14 airfoil lets this plane moves
out quite well. The plane is a bit heavier than most EPP planes, but remember
you have twice the wing surface area. With full throw in the ailerons it has
a great roll rate. Everyone needs a bi-plane for the slope.
