That GP Super Stearman really looks good against a blue sky! Either it ran out of fuel or he may have leaned it a little too much - got hot and quit. I am starting the assembly of this same plane - I purchased it back Oct of 2004! LOL! I will power it with a Saito 150 and cannot wait to see it against a blue sky. I like the Bubbly at the end of this video - I think I will just drink a cold beer! Cheers from Texas!
hi, i just got this same plane in a trade today. still unopened in box. might be a few months before i open it tho, as im currently in corpus christi texas and moving back to east tx in july
This engine was destroyed during breaking in. In that time i did not know that. Saito manual did only suggest few types of oils which i could not get them. So I chose the wrong oil... In that time i have no idea about oils. The choosen one had 89 degress centigrade flashpoint. And that made engine to overheat due to burning oil. Normaly flashpoint is around 250 or more for those engines.
Astraeus Titan that is true, and just having one is a blessing as it opens a door to conversation, not to mention all the little kids with the millions of questions.
@@keithlucas6260 This plane has now new saito. Previous one was destroyed by wrong type of oil. But i can see new engine has modifications since this engine has some design fails i guess.
