So if it's in that vein it's probably not for me, but if it's more like a spitfire or corsair which you can still throw around but still fun for some cross country flying as well then yeah maybe. Not sure if those 2 birds are the best comparison per se but my use would be for hopping between GA fields. It was mainly a military trainer. Out of the 1500-odd which were built 80% of the production was made during WW2, the largest customers being the US armed services. Now I wonder how does it feel to transition from 150 HP Ryan to a 2000 HP Double Wasp Corsair 😄 ?

May 29, 20215 yr the Menasco inline engines were not powerful enough for more than introductory aerobatics. This aircraft was based on the primary trainer Ryan Recruit. Aileron rolls, spins (of no more than 3 revolutions), maybe a loop with a shallow dive for the energy needed - but this is no fighter plane. It's a beautiful day flier, cruiser. I have it and love it. I didn't know who this developer was until yesterday when I bought the STA - The model itself is almost flawless. For the price it is an excellent value.

I'd be wondering what happened to the training I was supposed to get in between those two with the 450HP P&W Single Wasp T-6 / SNJ. 😉 Edited May 29, 20215 yr by Stoopy "That's what" - She

Now I wonder how does it feel to transition from 150 HP Ryan to a 2000 HP Double Wasp Corsair 😄 ? no one went from a primary trainer (PT) to a Corsair - the AT-6 (advanced trainer) Texan was usually the last transition - at some airfields a handful of the surplus or unsold P-39's and P-40's were used to familiarize graduates of the T-6 with more powerful aircraft characteristics before the pilots were assigned and sent to war. My dad had about 40 hrs in the P-39 Aircobra after he trained on the T-6..

May 30, 20215 yr I fly the ST-A as a model airplane (95" wing span). That's why this was an instant buy for me. I didn't regret it. Here is a picture of my "IRL" model Ryan: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m144d3xjb7yp3jy/ST-A.jpg?dl=0 The real one had 125 HP, my model Ryan has 4 HP (electic motor).
