• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Description: CFS1 Army Air Corps Stearman PT-13B
----------------------------------------------
1940 Boeing Stearman-75 Biplane Trainer in metalic Grey U.S. Army Corps livery. Due to 220-225 Hp engine shortages, wartime production required 255 units delivered to the Army Air Corps with 280 Hp Lycoming R680-11 radial engine, and designated as PT-13B, although officially the engine was certified with 225 Hp. Top speed was 135 mph compared to the 124 mph of the normally motorized Stearmans. Because of their greater power, these Stearmans were used for Basic Training, not Primary Training.
The Boeing Stearman-75 was designed in 1934, and over 8500 Units were built. Thousands of pilots learnt to fly in this biplane, which was reputed as temperamental and quirky on the ground but stable in flight, as well as being capable of some impressive acrobatics. More powerful armed version were exported to South America and Africa.

There are still hundreds flying upto the present day, often appearing at air-shows.

The unit depicted in this release is No. 721, currently restored and flying in the U.S.A.

Includes SCASM-corrected virtual cockpit view, CFS1 .air file, Dp file, and custom panel with mostly stock gauges. Detailed, high-quality textures with help of Udo Entenmann.
