Hello!!

My name is John Biondo. I have building and flying R/C models for about 25 years. I am an avid Stearman fanatic. Having flown in the full scale PT-17 with a 220 Continental and the lead Red Baron N802RB owned by a dear friend of mine. I own several giant scale models including:

Flair Stearman

GP Stearman

1/3 Scale BUSA Stearman

Ziroli P-51 Mustang

PAU Ultimate

Nitro Planes 120 Ultimate

Wing MFG B-25

Sky Shark P-40

I will be posting a build thread on the BUSA Stearman as it is being modeled after the N802RB Red Baron Squadron.

I look forward to meeting some new builders on this site.

John,
Welcome aboard. Looking forward to seeing your build and hearing all about the Stearmans were these N3N's?
RCSB dues are about 4 gallons of fuel or a start and warm up for the C-220.

Hey John, welcome to RCSB. Those rides must have been fantastic! My son and I had a short ride in a Stearman at an airshow several years ago - I enjoyed it - he kept his head down and I think crused the instrument panel cross-member with his grip!

Sparky and Jeff,

Thank you both for the notes. yes flying in the Stearman are incredible. I enjoyed the lazy aerobatics in the Stearman what we call the #1 Stearman. 556DM. The Red Baron is a real thrill as it rolls climbs loops incredibly with the big 450 Pratt hanging out there on the front. I will post some pictures for you guys and some of my models as well. Thanks so much

Mark,

Thank you. I would like to check out your build thread. Mine is about 95% framed up. Adding scale details for the Red Baron conversion. Here is a shot of my Flair Stearman.

Mark.

Here is the study model we did. I say we because my wife builds with me. I also included the big boy. Thanks looking forward to checking yours out. This one is a GP ARF we based for a reference model.
