Bonnie Adkisson. Funeral services for Seminole resident, Bonnie Jean Adkisson are scheduled for 2 p.m. 5th, at First Baptist Church in Seminole, with Rev. I am looking for a copy of the instruction book for the Midwest Super Stearman, as I can't find mine anywhere. Does anyone have a copy they can scan.

I'm thinking about purchasing one of these kits for my winter project this year. I recall reading that they generally come out pretty tail-heavy and need considerable nose weight.

After searching deja news it appears that is the case. I was considering a.91 4S of some flavor, but that seems to be not enough weight either. Some of the posts suggested a 1.20 4S.

The 1.20's really jump in price, so I wondering about trying a gas engine - size?? Would a gasser give me the additional weight, to avoid lead? Any other thoughts on this aircraft are welcome too.
